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

im out in moab anyone have good trail sugggestions? I want to do hells revenge but not sure about it. I have 1 maybe 2 more days here before i leave for death valley. the cold is becoming a problem so i am leaving tomorrow maybe for death valley.

 

Hells revenge really isnt bad, especially if you bypass the optional hells gate and escalator on it. Going down the end of the trail back down to Moab has some switchbacks and loose rock that you'd want sliders for though (cant remember if you have any) but I've seen stock TRD offroads on the trail. Just have to be mindful of the approach and departure clearance on the climbs and drops. Watch out for holes. Theres a few 'Hot tubs' that will swallow a truck, just drive around those too. LOL.
If you havent ran Fins N Things, it's next to Hells Revenge- run it first, it's easier. If that one poses too much of a challenge then skip Hells Revenge

 

Took my dad and brother up Peavine yesterday to my secret spot to go shooting. Nice day, saw one other person, and there was no trash anywhere.

 

i didnt hit up those trails in moab. I wanted to but I still have some vaca time left and rather not risk it. I already did some cool stuff. to cold here in moab so heading south to lake mead, then death valley.

 

Hope you got up to the new 'safe' zone.

 

Yeah it’s well into the safe zone. It’s in the restricted area but at least 7000’ from any road or building, including the towers.

 

@RelentlessFab do you bend your own pipe?

 

Yes, we bend the tube for our sliders/bumpers/etc in house. We have 1.25", 1.5", 1.75", and 2" Tube(OD) dies. Pipe is ID just FYI, not interchangeable terms even though a lot of people call tube 'pipe'. What are ya looking for?

 

This made me laugh. Yeah I'm immature.

 

@Redmann

 

or crack

 

If I brought you two pieces of tube, could you put a 90 degree bend in each one?

 

@ROCKSLINGER how much for the kings? Willing to ship to Philadelphia, Pa?

 

We could... what size tube?

 

Whodis? Bluffton, SC this afternoon around 330ish. Nevada plates...





My wife’s potato skills are on point...

 

1 3/4. just need the bend right in the middle. .095 thickness I believe

 

Perfect. We have the 1.75 die in there and set up at least 95% of the time for sliders and bumper hoops. I should be able to get the bend within an inch of centered

 

in fact, I could make it even easier....if you can bend them the same angle you bend the bed bars, that would be perfect.

 

Easy peasy. Pre-programmed angle in my bender.
