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

Best wishes TJ. :/

 

Sorry to hear that TJ. Prayers your way.

 

Hope everyone is ok

 

Thanks guys. I guess the girl he hit is ok and refused treatment so that's good.

 

Damn that sounds like a scary situation. Hope everyone is alright. I used to live on that side of Reno but not any more so I'm no help unfortunately

 

Sorry, I'm in California this weekend. I'm hoping he makes a full recovery and can figure out what happened to him.

 

Damn, sounds gnarly. Hope everything is alright.

 

--- SOLD! 7/30 ---

Scary stuff TJ, I hope it all works out in the end and they can figure out what happened with your gramps.

Well, hopefully I can do this in the same post without coming across as a completely insensitive dick, but here goes. I'm selling a 105 qt Yeti Tundra cooler. I purchased it last month and have used it once on one 5-day camping trip. I just picked up a used pop-up tent trailer a few days ago and unfortunately, this cooler won't fit through the doorway (too wide).









It has a small black mark on top where something rubbed against it while driving home from the campsite. It's purely cosmetic and is just being difficult to remove because the top's textured. Beyond that, the cooler's basically perfect-



This is my situation. My 50 qt Yeti fits cleanly through here and can be loaded even when the trailer's collapsed. Since coolers are the last thing to be loaded, it'd be ideal if I can load them both through here which is why I need something different.



I don't know if you can read this, but it's my Scheels reciept dated 6/28/13. With tax, the cooler cost me $484.75. I'm offering this up for $375 cash to anyone whose willing to come to Lyon Cty to pick it up, or $400 if I need to bring it to you. That's a $110 savings for what is essentially a brand-new cooler. I'm doing this in the hopes that I can get it sold quick before my next camping trip next week.



For anyone who may not be familiar with Yeti, they are the shit in ice chests. As I mentioned above, I took this out for a five-day trip (over July 4th with 90+ temps in the mtns). After returning, I hauled it inside my kitchen to unload. After removing whatever food, condiments, etc were left, I continued using the remaining ice for the next three days to chill my beer while sitting in my kitcken. These sucker's are damn-near bulletproof (and actually are 'bearproof') and stay cold for a long, long time.

If anyone's interested just hit me up with a PM. Thanks!

 

On a different subject what are you towing your trailer with? The Tacoma? Ig so whats the wight limit you can tow with?

 

Shitty situation. Sorry to hear

 

Thanks for the support guys. I got some more info. He was traveling north on McCarran between Longley and Rio Poco and rear ended a lady in a small SUV going the same way. He was going about 80, and she was going about 40. He lives just off Rio Poco. He got home and told my grandma something had happened, but he wasn't sure of what. They followed the coolant trail and found the accident. He is staying in the hospital at least another night so they can keep an eye on his heart. Sounds like he is doing ok. The truck is pretty roughed up, but looks fixable. Still no idea on why he doesn't know what happened.

 

Yikes! at least he is doing ok.
Keep us posted.

 

Yup, the Taco. This is a small trailer and I doubt it weighs much over 1200 lbs at best. It literally feels like it's glued to the back of the truck when dragging it. I have an even smaller flatbed utility trailer that feels like more of a load even though it's far less actual weight. IIRC with the V-6 and tow package, I believe we top out (on paper anyway) at 6500 lbs for trailer weight.

Edit: Wow, that's some rough business TJ. Having an accident of any kind at 80 is rarely good. I'm keeping them crossed that he comes out of the hospital okay.

 

You mentioned they're watching his heart, sounds like a black-out due to very high, or very low BP. Hope he is recovering well.

 

Is it the first time he blacked out?

 

This is the first time he has blacked out that I know of. I don't think he has had any blood pressure issues in the past, but that doesn't mean that's not the case.

 

Let me know if you need anything TJ.

On another note, is anybody looking to sell a 12 guage shotgun? My Benelli was stolen by my wives 17 year old cousin. Pressing charges and all, but its long gone by now.

 

Man I hate thieves worse than just about anything on the planet! Not looking to sell one, but I'm pretty sure Crossroads of the West is going on this weekend at the convention center.

 

That sucks man. Even worse when its family.
