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

@WheelInTheSky @smithr1730 I appreciate the feedback guys! We are definitely looking into hosting some sort of meet here soon. I know we are in the process of hosting an Atlanta meet, which might be a little far for you guys, but you're always welcome! I will hit you up @smithr1730 when I am in the Columbus area, I head that way from time to time.

 

I just threw on the spacers I picked up from @Aussiek2000....I'll throw up a pic tomorrow...not sure if I'm feeling it.

 

I could give you guys an informal crash course on how to use any of the stuff in those first aid kits at one of our meets.

 

I actually like this idea. I would love to know more.

 

See blood.. Faint.. See blood.. Faint.. See blood.. Apply bandaid and kiss on booboo

 

how much offset do your wheels already have?

 

I'm not sure these sim beads have a little more offset then the factory trd wheels...I didn't need spacers to clear the 285's to begin with. I didn't get to check it out much I was working on up until I had to go to work.

 

@i_cappi i also have a tune able tip 3' firestick and heavy duty spring. It's what I have on my truck and I just take it off when not off roading with a group because it does tap the garage a bit. I can make you a screamin' deal if your heart isn't set on a 2 footer already.

@Yota_Mafia where exactly in Ohio are you found most frequently? I've never heard of you either!

Oh and everyone I didn't take any pictures from my journey out Sunday but this is one from another guy who went. Bunch of rag tag misfits if you ask me but we did fine.


Happy Taco Tuesday!

 

@MR2 ya I'll come over and check it out.
Where did you guys end up going? And I think I'm gonna be meeting up with @Yota_Mafia in a day or two if your interested.

 

Yota Mafia guy is in Canton

 

Next week the sliders should be done. What are you guys using for paint?

 

Man I keep finding more and more stuff in Coshocton county area every time I go, so I keep going! And Wills Creek locations I am not far off from at all so I think I'll head a little further in that direction next time see what pans out. It's about as perfect as it gets for a group ride once I get a good route planned out, roughly 1 hour from Columbus or 1 hour from Canton so it's not bad. Saw A LOT of people out in the area this time, mostly 4wheelers out playing and a few people out in the woods maybe mushroom hunting or cooking meth, something along those lines. The guys in the group I brought this time were like holy crap I can't believe we pay to go to SOR! Which I didn't even show them all of the good stuff it was too wet I didn't want the open diff dirty hoe to tear it up for everyone.

What are you meeting up about? You guys gonna have a muffin and bubble tea chai latte together or what?

 

I used rattle can black but did 0 prep on them so its rubbing off after about a week of stepping on the same spot to climb in the truck. Got in a hurry, should have known better.

 

I used the POR15 and topcoat. It was laborous. But it's great. Is going to be durable.

 

Coshocton is nice. Lots of crappy township roads that are nice for a 4x4 Tacoma. And it's about 100 miles closer than SOR. Lol

 

That's my future plan for skids after this summer

 

@MR2 well ya, who doesn't meet for tea and muffins.

 

Lot of two track in that area on the last google earth picture, even see a car parked up by one of the lake/ponds. I'll take note.

 

Hey man, we are all over Instagram. If you don't have Instagram that would make sense why you haven't heard about us. I am currently in Canton until this Saturday, then I'm moving to the Mentor area.

 

Those are nice, but $$$! That's one of the reasons I'm not getting the plastic ORB. For as often as I'll use it for actual off road use, I can build a pretty robust base out of treated lumber reinforced with steel plates and plasti-derp for about $10 and replace the wood if it ever breaks. I'll probably use it more for its winching capability and taking out concrete footers than anything else.
