**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Well, it's about damn time

 

Make sure to either put rubber between those leafs or soak them down in some kind of lube. Mine started squeaking like a mofo after about 1000 miles. Slathered them in fluid film and they've been fine since.

 

Yeah, I will be installing isolators in the top leafs. I think wheelers sells some. Still need a carrier drop and shim pack for the lean.

Did you have to change your brake lines?

 

My stock lines were plenty long enough

 

You shouldn't have to extend your lines unless you're wheeling and have suspension travel like me (yeah I'm cool). Why do you want the carrier drop? I haven't heard good things about those.

 

I put the drop mine. Don't think it made a difference one way or the other

 

I think there are one or two FJ guys doing that. Every now and then they post about it in the Ohio FJ Owners Facebook page. I think his name is Robert L Knasel.

 

I need to start mapping out a route. Want to hit Zion, canyon lands, glacier national park, Yellowstone, black bear, etc

 

Look into those CO trails. Most are only open for 1-2 months out of the year due to the weather. I think black bear pass or imogene is only open for July and August. Not sure.

 

Would anyone here be interested in my front Walker Evans 2.5" Reservoir coilovers and Total Chaos stock length UCAs? Coilovers were just rebuild 10 months ago and UCAs are also about 10 months old.

Posting here, probs be off the truck ready to sell sometime September.

 

Will do. I need a winch and some more recovery gear before I hit a trail that tough. Especially if I'm alone.

 

Bombing around on the CO passes for a week is on my bucket list. Hopefully in a few years when the soon to be youngest can be somewhat self sufficient.

 

What are you trying to get out of the Walkers?

 

Don't go alone out there. Intermittent cell signal at best, most likely none, usually hours from any real help. Definitely find someone to go with. Look in to ham or a sat phone if going to do trails out west. Check in to the Colorado or one of the other regional threads. Lots of info, and if you can't find someone from here to go with you, you could hook up with a local out there who knows the trails. Just offering some advice, don't want to see anyone get in to a bad situation.

That's kind of what I was planning. Find someone from each region to tag along with.
