Cincinnati Area Thread (Tri-State, Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana)

May or may not be closed Monday. I imagine it would be drunk redneck shit show if they're open on Monday.

 

Was thinking Saturday/Sunday. Planning on smoking some meat Monday

 

Back in the day, when I had my fishing boat, I'd avoid ANYTHING that resembled a park on National holidays. Every kid in America would be there, smacking their Snoopy rod and reel into the water, scaring the fish out of their minds. Same general rule applies to off road parks. Just older kids smacking their poles now.....

 

Agreed. On both fronts.

 

It's gonna be a shit show there for the holiday weekend.

I'll holler at the owner and see what he thinks. We may be able to get the adjusted price for this too, but know that rain may happen. Tents in the rain are no fun.

 

Psh, I'll just pull out my ARB Awning over my hammock #dreamsetup #truckyeah

JK I haven't bought that yet. But it's in the plans! Find a tree to park next to = instant campsite

 

Hotel....Memory foam matress, Satellite TV, heat/ac, hot shower, no drunks in tent next to me.

 

There weren't a plethora of shaded/tree covered areas that I saw.

 

Holiday and Days are just a few miles away from the park.

 

Could camp in or near the woods.

 

I kinda thought that too. One more thing to ask about.

Do you remember seeing spots where people had camped off the trails?

 

there were some areas back where 1 and 50 split

 

That's right. I think that would probably be our best bet for the whole group

 

Is there a local source for PELFREYBILT products? The shipping from the west coast kills the pricing! I really like their offering the best from both a structural and cosmetic standpoint.

 

Every once in a while they have free shipping sales

 

Got a deal on a front bumper...

 

Where have you seen anything structural? I'm unimpressed that few companies have real torture test vids of what they produce

 

Take a look at the crates or boxes they ship in. Some companies don't build their bumpers that well. It's not free.

 

So... I'm going to jump on the FOX suspension group buy. I have my parts selected and plan to install them myself. With that said, where are a few recommended places to get the alignment done once complete? (Ideally north of the Cincinnati area)

 

Structurally I'm looking at them purely from an engineering perspective, (not real world application or feedback) and their construction falls in line with some basic engineering principles and looks to distribute load more equally along the frame rail while looking sexy. I like your idea of seeing actual stress tests of a vendors product on our vehicles. That way you could see how well it holds up in the real world.
