Ok. I will start a separate thread in a few days and post a link to it on this one. PGH08JK we will need your help with location.

Dave

Sounds great! Psyched to see your rig in person and do some wheeling! We can compare my budget hydro assist to your full blown one too.

Dave that is fine, Are we just doing a one day deal? Or is it over a day or two? I have a few spots in mind, but will choose when I get an idea on time that we have.

I will only have a day. In PGH for a week and have a LOT of family there.

Hey if you can swing it you should also stop here on your way. I can take you to our mine so you can see a few CAT's doing what they were made to do. :thumb:

Yeah I think one day. I don't mind getting up really early to meet you guys. I'm about 1.5-2 hours away from PGH, depending on where you want to go.

That would be sweet! Where are you located? Are you on the I-70 somewhere? I'd love to see the mine site! I can ever bring my hard hat, steel toes with metatarsal protection, and ear/eyes protection!

No I'm up North. You would have to go I-80 to here, then 76 to PGH. Not sure how much longer that would be...

We could make a day trip to see you. My wife and I both work for Cat and my 3 year old son loves "tractors", so we'd love to come out and see the mine.

I'm in butler county. Where are you at dchew

 

[dchew]

I'm in Auburn Ohio just East of Chagrin Falls. 25 miles East of Cleveland.

Got the beadlock stud covers on and the EVO oil pan skid. Cleaned it up and took a few poser shots. My to do list is much shorter now :thumb:

• Touch up paint for the frame and wheel wells
• Tranny skid
• Modify the EVO Protek to fit around the long arms
• Cobra 75 CB install
• Solve my TPM sensor problem
• Fix a small power steering leak in one of the hose connections
• Fire extiguisher
• Get out and wheel!

This turned out very nice Dave!

 

[10frank9]

Wow Dave, looks BA. Can't wait to start modding mine as well.

 

[OverlanderJK]

Oso is badass! :thumb:

 

[dchew]

Thanks guys! Now I have to decide which trail to hit first:
Legacy Village
Beachwood Place
Great Lakes Mall

I'm thinking Legacy. It's pretty high end and would have the most H3's with 24" wheels. :yup:

Chris, I have some notes I will send you in a PM about the install.
