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

Bad up at the lake again, took this about an hour ago. So thick the sun is just a orange dot.

 

Was the same in Reno tonight. We were planning on heading out for a quick overnight camp before school starts back up but there aren't any options I know of within 2 hours that don't have unhealthy AQI.

Plan now is to set up a tent tomorrow in my office for a "campin" and roast marshmallows over the jetboil in the livingroom.

 

that's unfortunate. Its defiantly a stay inside kind of weekend.

 

Anyone ever seen this guy around town? My brother saw him at the Peavine access point in Somersett.

 

Nope but there's a lot in that pic that makes me scratch my head.

 

yeah it’s shit outside. We called our trip too. Maybe we’ll do something similar to your campin, at least get him used to the small backpacking tent

 

Maxtrax Raffle ​

Let’s get the turnout Reno. If we can reach 10 trucks at today’s event, a pair of Maxtrax boards will be donated as a raffle prize. Raffle entry will be automatic for all owners of trucks participating in today’s event from 8-12 with the winner being announced at the close of the event. Remember, this is just as much about hanging out with cool people. Would love to see you guys out here.

 

Curse not being able to have Saturdays off. Hope it's a good turnout.

 

I hear ya Eric. Had to do it for years. There was a lot of chatter about coming out but I think this smoke is keeping people at bay. All good. I’ll be here. Might start drinking though lol.

 

Little better than yesterday so I'll be thankful for that. Have a cold one for me. I won't be out till 6pm. Gotta love those long days

 

I’ve seen this FJ before around. It used to be parked on sparks blvd in some apts.

 

Anyone have a kayak for sale? Looking for a hobie with or without that nice foot Drive

 

We're selling 2 sit in kayaks. 13ft I believe...I'll PM the details later this weekend if you're interested.

 

Pm me

 

It kind of came and went out east, but overall not bad.

 

Went out to the Blue Lakes area for an overnighter last night. Camped at 8500’ and smoke was minimal. Just a light haze. Was almost 100 in Carson Valley driving in and only 70 where we camped.




I’ve been using this NOAA sat image to see where the smoke is going. It updates every 5 minutes and you can have it play a loop.

Yeah, that's Sgt Dennis he's a Marine K-9 handler. WTF????

 

Anyone interested? I just posted this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2021-trd-pro-suspension-for-sale-reno-nv-sacramento.732297/

 

Let's talk tires that work well where we live and play.



I'm on my 3rd set of Duratracs and I'm planning on replacing them in the next few weeks to go up a size. I've been happy with them on pavement year round up here and they perform well off road (the picture above is the only sidewall puncture I've had).

I'm looking for another AT tire that doesn't ride like a brick, has decent performance on the road when the snow is falling, doesn't weigh a ton, and will get me where I want to go off road.

I've run K02s in the past and wasn't happy with them in the winter or when things got muddy but other than that my experience is limited to those and the Goodyears. So, what works for you and what tires have you tried that you won't go back to again?
