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

Matt was nice enough to drop a 2lb Sledge on my mouth when we were putting my leafs on...it was awesome.

60k coming up on my truck in 5k. I know it's plugs, what else?

 

All you 60Kers. I'm over here like 135K just past on my truck and its still going strong, guess I won't touch a thing

 

I had 31k on it last Sept. I'll catch ya

 

142k here.

 

Debating on adding a wood burner to my gas furnace. Something I could fire up on colder days/nights to save on the gas bill. Does any one know much about this? We had a wood burner in the basement when I was growing up, but it wasnt a back up or hoked to a furnace. It was our only source of heat. Just doing some searching, looks like I can get the furnace for about 1500-2k. Just depends on which I get. Curious about the cost of actually piping it in as we have no current chimney/flu.

 

This should be fun

Basically all fluids... diffs, t-case, oil, trans, filters, etc. I have the little maintenance booklet that came with the truck somewhere...
My t-case oil looked perfect and I've never changed it. Diffs are every 30k and yes they need it that often. You're a manual so I think your trans is a 30k interval but I'm not sure

I'm a fan of not damaging my expensive investment in a vehicle by trying to save a buck neglecting to change fluids over a necessary interval. New oil can never cause damage. Old oil can increase heat, wear, and cause pre mature failure

 

Oil is cheaper than engines.

 

I change my oil. I was jk

 

This is great. I always keep a

TEKTON 15356 1/2" Drive by 24" Breaker Bar

breaker bar and and

TEKTON 15010 3/8" Drive x 18" Extra Long Ratchet with 72-Tooth Oval Head

18" 3/8"drive ratchet in the truck. The long 3/8" ratchet has been clutch on so many installs.

 

How long are you planning for? That's a ton of activities.

 

So I spent roughly 7 hours just taking the rotors all off and cleaning it up lol. LOT of mud still in the veins of the rotors and behind the wheel hubs. Glad I did it. Drives better it seems.

 

2 weeks. I'm not hitting them all. The Red is what i want to for sure make it to and so on so forth. The rest are just plots I'd like to see so I have to see what's the closer ones to the path I'm going down and decide from there. Just wanted to plot where they are all first to see.

 

Dude...I got all that out a week or two after Rush. Electric pressure washer FTMFW! Don't be afraid to get a little backwash in the face and you'll git er did!

 

Drive fast in hard rain..

Then wash.

Dirt B gone!

Not too many mall crawlers as clean as I keep mine even with throwing it in the mud every now and then. Do not take it apart to clean.

 

Haha. tried that. No way you can really get to the backside of the rotors and veins though without taking the wheels off. With 16" wheels and the backing plates on there, just no clearance.

I was certainly surprised to see how much was in there....could have been from prior offroading too.

 

*until you get muddy again

 

Just picked up a new Gen3 DCSB OR in quicksand. Upgraded from my totaled Sport to the Off Road so who wants to show me the nuances of crawl control & the rear locker now that I have these new features?

AFTER

 

NOICE!

Crawl control is pretty cool to watch. If you have a 6 pack to drink while you wait for it to climb

 

Should have gone with the inferno orange so your fellow commuters might notice you
