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

Spotted this guy in downtown last night. Had some mighty sexy bumpers.

 

Mine are all in use but twin city has a ton in the back.

 

I believe his name is Galen IIRC. Kind of a funny story with that one, he bought the front and had it installed, then ordered the rear. First ordered a standard replacement style rear, then tagged his stock bumper and buckled the bottom of the bed side a tad... upgraded to a High clearance cut bedside to remove the damage. He waited out the fab time, then I called and let him know the bumper was back from Powder Coat for install, said he'd schedule a time in a couple days. A week goes by so I call him again.... turns out some lady lost control while speeding in her Dodge Challenger RT and stuffed his passenger rear... like whole bedside buckled, buckled leaf spring from the car hitting the axle and of course a trashed bumper at that point as well. So a shop repaired it and the day after he had it back he brought it in for the new bumper.... I sliced his day old bedside off for the new bumper!

 

Was just going to suggest the same thing. His prices suck on a lot of stuff, but he has a lot of stuff so there's that.

 

Hey everybody! Finally found the Reno thread

 

Howdy and welcome! Here's another thread for northern NV also-

Sweet, thanks!

 

Going to install my new gears this weekend at my shop. @catattacksdog Anyone else who needs a shop/tools for their mods is welcome!

 

I actually got my leafs installed in my driveway. Allpro's were WAY easier to install than Deavers thats for sure. I might swing by your shop anyway! What's the address

 

shop is at 865 Deming Way, Sparks NV 89431. Look for big blue oval sign above our roll-up door - EO Truck and Trailer. We've sent out bunch of trucks recently so should have some space cleared up!

 

What ratio you going with?

 

4.56. 4x4 so gotta swap both.

 

That's what I was going to run. You doing this Saturday or Sunday? Curious about the before and after

 

I'll tell you a story about before and after. Before: sux. After: non sux. End of story

 

What exactly is the benefit tho? More low end grunt? Better fuel mileage?

 

If you're running bigger tires (Steve and I have 35s) you lose power, to compensate you can do a couple things. 1. re-gear. 2. supercharge. Or do both if you're awesome (and can find a SC since they're discontinued presently). I only went the 1/2 awesome route.

 

Gonna start on Sat, will probably have to finish Sun. (removing the diffs). Then Samco is going to rebuild them on Monday, and then hopefully ready to test em out next wknd!

Yup, I'm super excited. It's been 10 months with my 35s, and I don't even remember what my truck used to feel like. I'm still going to want more power, but that'll have to wait until my Lexus V8 swap!!

 

Hey, are any of you guys heading to the meet at Prairie City this weekend?

 

hey everyone finally found the local thread lol im not in reno but close enough im in Fernley hope to hit the trails with you all at some point.
