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

Checking in from Dayton, OH

 

Ok, it’s starting to warm up!

When is Rush?

 

September lol

 

There’s another Taco Tour, March 28th. Its going to end at Redbird.

 

Figured I'd share a few pics of last weekend's winter gorge ride. It was gorgeous. The ice made it a unique challenge.

 

Hey guys, I’m still alive... kids take up most of my time now (they’re more important than you )

I’m trying to put together a set up for easier camping with a 2 and 3 year old since the wife is nervous to take them out. Any ideas?

I’ve been looking at:

Good to see your name on here again. Sounds like you're staying busy!

 

This is what I use if I’m bringing the wife and dogs, and it’s pretty awesome. You can stand up and stretch and has tons of space.

 

Anybody know if the state forest service roads in Shawnee State park west of Portsmouth are suitable for tacos to cruise through? Or even open to the public?

I'm in Cincy, have been looking for some places closer to home to get off road, and really can only verify what I can see on google maps

 

Evening brothers, it's been a long while since I was on here. I left the Tacoma family, but not Tacoma World! A buddy of mine once told me that if I EVER sold my truck... I'd only want another one. I laughed at this, because I'm a car guy through and through, and used to race cars.

Well...

Here I am, two years later looking at specials on Tacoma's to bring back my true love... Looks like I owe someone a beer?

 

Hope y’all are equally enjoying this fine day!!!

 

Had to get new tires yesterday and went with MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX M/S
255/75R17 - 115T and WOW they are amazingly quiet!!!

Too early to comment on wear, mpg or real use but very happy thus far!!

 

My father in law has these tires on his duramax. He has liked them a lot but they’ll get him stuck on wet grass. They have worn good though and have something like 40k miles on them

 

will report back on my wet grass encounter. I do notice the interior rattles and creaks now that were masked by the 1) failing front wheel bearings and 2) the M/T winter tires. Playing the radio louder.

 

Just scheduled my frame inspection for next Friday...

The “12 years from date of first use” deadline is March 22, 2021 so I guess it’s time to find out if they’re going to replace the frame or not.

Anyone have a long pointy object we can use to puncture a small hole from the inside of the frame rail, up near the cats?

 

Anyone in louisville or surrounding areas have ovtune?

 

I just had my truck tuned about a month ago. @rdpoe does too and a couple others

 

Thanks. I'll talk to @rdpoe about it.

 

You ditched the Nankang's? I was curious how they've held up.

 

Still have them. Still Love them!!! Great Tire!!! I put them on in October and take them off around now. When I rolled my Coopers to my truck, 2/5 were flat - a nail in one and never found the leak in the other. Just decided it was time. Put in new TPMS sensors too.
