Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

PM Sent

 

The old meets were fun, I went to one or two mod days back in 2012-2014. My dumbass forgot to get bushings for the Dakar springs but a few trips to summit it was solved.

On another note, the used car market is insane for these trucks and I've had a few notes left on my truck asking to buy it. Threw em right in the bin.

 

Alu-cab canopy LB just pulled it off this morning if anyone is interested $2900
Also have a cvt hybrid 79" awning with led light strips ,$200

Also have some Baja squad sports in combo pattern , have the harness too
$175

 

Hey y’all I will be out in Reno for school starting in fall, I’ve been hovering some. Once I’m out there I’ll definitely be looking for some places to go that are stock truck friendly. I’ve got decent tires on there and I do have a compressor to air down.

Some group runs would still be fun and will definitely be interested once I’m out there. Since I’ve got no winch I’m super careful when exploring solo but worst case I’ve got a shovel and know how to move rocks. Some traction boards are gonna be ordered soon once I can figure out how I want them mounted and secured in the bed.

as far as mod days go I’ll definitely attend and help others with stuff just so I can learn, but for now the truck is my daily and only vehicle so mods I’m doing are very limited. Now if something breaks I’m perfectly fine with upgrades.

also if anyone’s got a way to contact @kairo shoot me a pm. He and I became pretty good friends through the investment thread. He had a slight slip up and got a 30 day with no notice. Made a dupe and then messaged a mod asking why he was given a 30 day. Meant instant perma ban. He’s got a quicksand third gen. I think he posted in this thread a few times.

 

Uhhhh prob was doing good rat stuff that's why? Idk. Remember, when you go solo, carry a firearm

 

noted, and actually we know why he got the 30 day. mentioned name of a government worker who is consistently involved with the market and directions it moves. The name has been mentioned before in previous convos in the thread, even by the Mod usually in that thread. This time apparently it was a no no.

On the note of carrying a firearm, I assume bears is the main issue?

 

I mean, not anywhere east of here I have seen, maybe in the foothills, galena and beyond sure. but mainly for people. covid stuff has brought out the worst in humanity. Trust no soul

 

I totally remember that day. Fun stuff!

FTFY

 

Interesting. Never had that issue before since Usually I'd stay away from those areas in Dallas and Phoenix, but Reno is significantly smaller than both of those cities so I can understand.

 

maybe its just me, and im just just another asshole with ptsd

 

Not mine.... just found:https://reno.craigslist.org/pts/d/sparks-arb-summit-bumper-for-toyota/7359443802.html

 

thats what I paid for my CBI. nice bumper but the wiring is a fucking mess on those.

 

Did you mean the transfer case? I had mine done at McVay's. hasn't fallen off yet hah

 

tcase yeah my bad, I am retarded. yes that.

 

Morning reno dudes, anyone looking for some decent packs?
Gregory baltoro 75l and a brand new patagucci 45l pack? both size l/xl
also have the alu-cab table and brackets
asking #350

 

Anyone want to run the Rubicon!? I'm planning to go at end of the month - Aug 28/29. Would camp Friday night (27th) and start early Sat.

 

Man I do...... I just wont be ready till next spring. Need gears first, and probably 35's. I need to find some dudes local that wanna go out to Slick Rock as well. Anyway.... Hi from Reno!

 

Yeah want is one thing. Rig (and driver) ability is another hah. Talking about me here

 

HA!!! Yea Slick Rock is totally do-able. But I just always cruise alone, and thats not really a trail for being alone.

 

Northtown Home Depot was lit today. LOL
