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

Nice.

I’ll crawl under the truck and check the problem spots this weekend. I’ve heard near the catalytic converters is the most susceptible spot.

 

Howdy everyone, just moved to the area. Hope to see/wheel with you in the coming months.

 

Yup. The compressor I had was too thick to fit between coils on 6112. I had to use jack under LCA method for compressing.

 

Welcome!! Where in the area are you?

 

Thanks, just S.E. of Dayton.

 

welcome
We were talking about having a meet on the near ish future. Hopefully we can figure that out and make it happen!

 

That’s how I installed them. Were you able to get enough clearance without pulling the alignment cams off in order to get enough clearance?
None of the YouTube videos mentioned that so I’m wondering if I was doing something wrong.

 

I just loosened cams. Didn't remove them.
I'd say i was actually relying on cam bolts to be a pivot helping control LCA movement.

 

I'll be in Cincy tomorrow afternoon through Sunday morning. What are things to see/do and good places to eat?

 

with kids or without?
Downtown or outer ring?

 

Downtown, adults only

 

Okay...you’ve got high end restaurants Bocca and Sotto on 6th st. “L” on 4th

then the hip OTR (Over the Rhine) on Vine from Central Pkwy north to Liberty. This is gentrification area...keep to your eyes open when walking but it’s gotten a lot safer in the last 2 years. But the area from Central Pkwy south to Elm west to Liberty North to Main East has lots of restaurants, breweries, bars and things to do. Several walking tours in this area.

The Banks area between 2nd the the River (around stadiums) is pretty cool, especially the linear park along the riverfront.

Mount Lookout - hill to the east of downtown has good views, bars and a few restaurants.

State Ave near Queen City Blvd is good for ladies of the night.

Cincinnati Museum Center is really interesting and just had a multi million renovation reopening in January. It’s the old railway station that looks like the DC Comics “League of Justice” building.

if you’re looking for lower key, old town Milford is nice, Little Miami Brewing Company has great beer, pizza and salad located on the scenic Little Miami River.
I live a 6 minute stumble from here.

Ault Park is a hidden jewel, Spring Grove Cemetery is an amazing exploration spot and Lunken Airport is a fun place to sit in the Sky Gallery bar and watch air traffic and drink.

Too much to see for a weekend.

I suggest downtown in the OTR area and Finley Market as a starting point.

 

Just don’t expect to do any grocery shopping while you’re here... you’ll probably have no issues finding a table at any restaurant you want though.

Also, the governor banned gatherings of 100 or more people so a lot of events have been cancelled and places that attract large crowds are closing, so you might want to stick to “outdoor” activities.

 

Thank you both!

I think my wife booked us at Boca, looking forward to it. We will have plenty of time to walk around and will hit up a few of the areas mentioned.

 

Boca has valet and it’s easiest rather than trying to find a place to park - under non national or state emergency situations.

 

I think we were going to walk or Uber, it's pretty close to our hotel. Though, I would love to hand them my truck to valet, haha

 

they park my truck out front.

 

Wow, as much as I off-road the DBBB I didn't know there was a thread dedicated to the tri-state area. Guess I need to look through tacomaworld more. Im repairing my old 1st gen right now to hopefully make it out in a couple of weeks. Also I live in the southern part of Cincinnati.

 

welcome (from KY) and you've got some nice looking vehicles. Bring that Cav blue Pro down to the Gorge this summer. I'll have my Cav out there as well

 

Yall gonna make some baby cavs?


Mooooooove on.
