It's time for another Ohio truck meet. For those that have seen our meets before you know the format. Get a bunch of truck nuts together, load a trailer to the the limits, hook it up and flog each truck up a hill and hope nothing breaks! For those that haven't seen this before here is our past 8 meets: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

The event will be on Sunday June 26th. We'll meet at the WalMart parking lot located in Milllersburg, OH (1640 S Washington St, Millersburg, OH.) at 8am. From there a short BS session will ensue followed by a caravan back to my house. At that points it's hook and tow time. Lunch will be served (usually grilled meat of some sort, the typical sides), followed by more hook and tow time until everyone that wants to tow has been able to.

Towing is purely optional. Many come just for the truck talk and general conversation that goes on.

Post up here if you are interested in coming or have questions.I can help with places to stay, things to do since I am located in the largest Amish population in the US many decide to make a weekend out of it.

 

Bump......

 

Mike, I so wish I could attend this meet but I'm working that weekend. I have been a fan and watched the many videos of past pull tests and I would love to get my EX in on that to see how it would compare head to head with the other rigs. I could even make 2 passes, on with effective 4.39 gearing with the 35"s and another run at a true 4.88 ratio with the 31.5"s.
So bummed (again!), maybe next year.
Have a great time and be sure to get some more great videos!

 

Wish you could make it Tom. We haven't had an Ex make it yet.

 

I woulda loved to have seen that vid!

I bet your rig would have had an impressive showing against that hill!

No guarantees, but I WANT to come. It would be a bonus if my Ex is on the road by then.

But with our luck lately (especially with vehicles), all I can proclaim is an enthusiastic "maybe."

 

Bump......

 

Sounds good. Hope you can make it.

i'd love to come down for this. wife and i hit holmes county at lest 3 times a year to kick it with the amish. about a 3 hour drive for me. however with a baby coming soon i dont think i'll be able to make it. would like to give my big a pig a go at the hill also!

 

how far from cincy? id like to come with my ex i think! its not a powerstroke or a gasser though, am i disqualified?

just finished it two months ago, 12v p pump 5 speed 500 hp 1000+ft lbs

8" lift 16 inch wide tires on 14" wide wheels and the tires are a 12 ply

 

just put the tow mirrors on yesterday

 

Nice looking Ex! I'm about 3 1/2 hours from Cincy, give or take a half hour. We let a Dodge with a Cummins pull one time (it burned up) so no problem with other trucks/engines! In fact I would like to get some Chevys and Dodges to come but just isn't something that has happened.

 

I will be attending Mike, might bring along a surprise....

 

Will be interesting if you do!
