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

Hey @Cereal_killer I had my wife join the Dayton Toyota Off Road Facebook group (I don't have Facebook) and I was looking through it for some pics or video. Nada. I found the event invitation but no one appears to have posted shit? You have a link or anything to any other images / video?

Man I sound old saying "I had my wife join" and "I don't have Facebook". I cringed asking her.

 

Nice!

Funny story.. I ran a diagnostic on my truck a few months ago just because. The only code it threw was a critical for brake wiring. Turns out it was my trailer connector. Probably caught it on something when we went out. I need to do a relocate this spring.

I have been looking at DBBB and possibly doing a long weekend on Juneteenth. Nothing set in stone, just in the consideration stage.

 

Me leading and having problems on the easy part of the first easy trail. Damn ice was no joke. That is not my tire thankfully, that’d have been a real bad day!



2nd gen having issues having to winch himself out of an icy hell.


4R on the wrong side (on purpose, for fun) of that off-camber climb out mentioned above


group shots



Just before and just after @MeefZah drove right up pipeline hill like it was nothing.


I have so much video I don’t know what to do with it but first I’m getting together a little video of my two fuck ups in the first 2000ft of driving lol.

 

@Cereal_killer one of the guys we crossed paths with in the cool Rover rolled it over I guess

 

Any idea if this was their path? Not really sure how else you'd manage to accomplish that.

 

No idea. I pulled it off another website and all it had was the image and a comment that it happened after the Toyota group had stopped and talked with them. That's a sweet rig too, hope it's not too bad.

 

How do you get the TOP of your spare wet?

 

Oh man onto the driver side too, hope he’s ok and could get out easy enough!

 

I think the top of the spare is clean and the bottom half has dirt on it. Probably from a water crossing.

 

New here from Akron area. My taco is a '22 SR. Only mods I've done is some Federal xplora RTs on 4R Pro wheels (just picked it up friday). Never been off road but would like to do some mild trails if anyone has suggestions. Also what basic mods should I do. There's a loan on it so I'm not doing anything too crazy! Skid plate, relocate intake...etc? Thanks for any help.

 

Welcome. I'm down here in T-county.

 

Definitely relocate the intake to the cowl and get, at minimum, an aftermarket engine skid.

 

Is there a thread for this? I've not done that mod to mine yet either

 

No thread that i know of, but YouTube has a few videos: https://youtu.be/jXeze6KzmDo

You’ll go broke replacing headlights before you hydrolock your engine

 

Ironic that I was fine on our Vinton ride but I had to pull winch to get out of my fucking backyard earlier. Foolishly drove to the back door to load scrap carpet and got stuck on the way out. Didn't want to do unnecessary damage to the yard by spinning tires and attacking it with speed.

 

It's my wifes birthday weekend, but im thinking about going.
