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

Cool...let me know!

 

Nice looking truck. I’m curious what you thought about the Elkas?

 

New(ish) Taco owner. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. I bought a 16” TRD Sport back in 19. Just recently started putting some money into it. Need to find a place nearby to get it off the pavement!

Needed a CMC to fit those 285/70/17s

See attached for the specs….

 

Nice Truck!!

Welcome!!

 

Nice build. Who did you have do the CMC? They do a clean job? I’m needing one myself.

 

Thanks!

Not sure what it’s supposed to look like! Seems like it could be cleaner. And I probably paid too much. But it doesn’t rub anymore! And it’s the shop I go to for everything else. I like them. Family owned place NW of Springfield. Good people so I’m happy to give them business.

 

Do we have/know anyone in the Cincinnati area that can rebuild/service some Kings?

 

Ok did not end up driving thru, and now it will likely be a while before I do...

 

I’m headed down with a small group of Jeeps this Saturday (11/27) to RRG for some wheeling. We are meeting at the Cracker Barrel in Cold Springs KY for breakfast at 8:00 AM then caravanning down 27.

Looking to get a Toyota presence in these outings so I’m not always the odd man out! Let me know if you’d like to come… or just show up!

we will make our final stop in Slade before hitting the trails. (Junior Williamson Rest Area, 24 L&E Railroad Pl, Slade, KY 40376, USA)

Side note, we use CB’s for comms… so come prepared!

I’ll be in the gorge this weekend, so I can plan to meet up with you all off the slade exit.

 

Awesome! I’ll DM you my contact info.

 

I'd go but I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get my axle needle bearing replaced with the ECGS bushing. Yep put on an OME 2" lift a few weeks ago and got the grinding/vibration.

 

Whis getting out in December? Nov ride was with built jeeps on 42s. Needless to say they drug me all over the trail. Looking for a hard/medium bunch to ride w.

 

I’m in! Where’d you want to go?

 

Let's looks to Jan 1.. hangover run. Dtor? Rush? Slade? Haspen? Windrock?

 

I like them, a lot. They’re significantly less harsh and more forgiving than the 5100s they replaced. They also came out of their first winter in much better condition than the 5100s. No rust or discoloring at all on the shock bodies or collars, just a little rust on some of the hardware. I’d highly recommend them over most of the “budget” 2.5” to 3” lifts I see on this forum.

 

Are most people around these parts moving to GRSM for comms?

 

Ok I’ll widen my search area. Anyone know someone not in California or Colorado

 

I've rebuilt a fair number of shocks in my day, but I don't have any time to help out, nor do I have access to a minty shaft polisher anymore.

Really any good dirt bike repair shop should be capable of a rebuild-revalve, but I wouldnt trust them to recommend a shim stack.

 

Usually MURS because technically GMRS requires a license, and an approved radio. I believe MURS can use any radio as long as you follow wattage restrictions and bandwidth.
