Indiana sign in

I don’t remember seeing it there last time I was there.

 

Dang. I'll be heading west in a bit to Indy.


Next time you're heading this way, let me know. You can stop by the house and we can have a bourbon or 10.

 

I did a quick search of this place and it looks decent for some quad fun! My parents were born in Rushville and this place is not too far from there. Hit me up next time and I might join you. I'm just east of you in the Marion area.

 

Any Hoosiers lookin to buy a camper shell for a 3rd gen? Getting a lot of responses for people wanting to buy mine but they're all 13+hrs away. Figured I'd check the Indiana thread.

 

I’m pretty sure we’ll be there next weekend also. We’re still new to quads but there’s plenty to do.

 

It’s gotten rather anemic

 

Is the shoe thing an Indiana thing? We have a intersection in the middle of nowhere known as shoe corner.. been like that for 50 years at least. No one I Knows why

 

It was a giant tree in an open area where people camped. You had to follow the fire trail away from the main gate for 5 minutes or so to get back there. That's not the original, but funny to see the tradition carry on.

 

Oh yea, where at? Ill bring a pair of kicks if I ever head that way. My kinds would get a good laugh out of something obscure like that.

 

Right by the Illinois border between cedar lake and st John

 

Haspin bound

 

Brown county state park was great this weekend, perfect weather.

 

I’m real close to haspin. Heard nothing good about it. Supposed to be nothing but ruts requiring 40” tires and mud and bad erosion....
I’ll check out the others, thanks for the tip

 

Yes. The history of Haspin is one of turmoil and carnage.


HOWEVER. They've recently moved more towards motorcross and I think that has pulled enough people off the trails to sort of let them "heal", so-to-speak.

Couple guys in the Ohio/Indiana/Kentucky/Tennessee thread have recently started visiting Haspin again and have decent reviews.



I think it is still better suited for 4 wheelers/ATV or SxS. But, 1st Gen Tacomas and 3rd Gen 4runners are close to the same footprint of the bigger SxS's.


I'd give Haspin a couple more years before I took ol Freddie down there, but they have definitely changed the direction. Yes, there are still places you need bigger tires and more capable vehicles, but ALL ORV locations have that.


Other than that, we dont really have much around here unless it is private land.

 

It’s definitely improved from a couple years ago.

 

Anyone know of a shop here in central Indiana that offers a rust protection service? Looking for something like Fluid Film or Woolwax to be applied. Thanks for any direction on this.

I would like to do it myself but unfortunately free time isn’t something I have in excess currently! If I had a lift I would be all over it.

 

Installed the Seibon hood.

 

So, for me the Indiana thread and the Cincy/KY/Tenn thread are both valid as I basically split the difference in distance betwixt them and most of you heathens.


In the Cincy thread we've been tossing around some different ideas and such....

Thought I'd get some opinions and stuff. Here's the main post.

Anyone have a 285/70/17 spare I could buy? Need wheel and tire. Im in Fort wayne In. Or is there a general site to buy spares?

 

Recently bought a house about as far SE as you can get and still be in Marion county - 5 min from the County Line Rd on ramp. Lots of work to still do on the house, but it's nice to have a 3 car garage to stretch out in, finally I can get back to doing some wrenching on the taco. Any fellow Gen 1 types in the area? I'll admit that being in a rental for a year has gotten me a bit out of practice, and managed to acquire a fair bit of rust underneath. Also, while I've only put 30k miles on in the last 9 years (lived in Chicago, and walked or took the train everywhere) the tires were replaced in 2011 and general advice is to replace by 10 years. Anyone have a recommended tire place? I've been pretty happy with Discount Tire for the last 20 years or so, but I also had a tire guy up there, and don't have any connections down here yet.

Driving out of our alley in Chicago for the last time:
