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

Imagine making that insurance claim.

"So we lit off some fireworks on the Christmas tree in the living room then...

 

Was that someone from the forum at the S Virginia Moana picking up a tree around 11 today?

 

Hey guys, I recall a couple of locals interested in sliders if I had some available. Well, looks like we've got a couple 3rd gen sets here. One used set, one new set. Both bolt on and powder coated and fit DCSB/ACLB 3rd gen. Shoot me a PM if you're interested and I'll go over the specs/cost on them. Thanks.

 

Anyone want third gen : front shocks, leaf packs, or sway bar?

and if not, where in town could I throw em out? My apartment doesn’t give us access to the dumpsters… and leaf pack down the trash chute is probably not allowed lol

 

I ditched my sway too, I would keep it JIC. throw everything else out IMO

 

The leaf pack you can drop off at the dump's metal section for free. Keep the sway bar and put the shocks in a university garbage can

 

Knife makers like leaf springs.
(Edit: Blacksmiths too)

 

If you make a run of bed rail caps let me know. I'm hoping to pull the plastic ones and do some touch up on a couple rust spots where the plastic shifted and rubbed through the paint in the spring.

 

Nice morning at rose. Snow is holding up nicely with the exception of the various avalanche fields in the chutes.

Inversion layer was heavy from northstar today too. Didn’t grab a pic cus I did a good 9-4 day w basically no breaks but I did grab this


Sunset+fog made for a nice drive through the valley

 

Wait, what?

 

Identifies as a Toyota?

 

Speaking of identifying as a Toyota.
Tacoma replacement has been lifted now on 37s and a full carli kit. I still want another tacoma one day but for now I drive the ferrrd. Silver state off-road installed the kit locally, highly recommend them for anything.

 

Anyone have a 2nd gen TRD OR wheel laying around? A buddy of mine took a very large chunk out of his last week hunting. How it's still holding air and the bead is beyond me...

 

I don't miss that drive at 7am but going through the canyon with snow tires on an Audi S4 that put 340hp to the wheels was fun when there weren't other vehicles.

 

Mt rose has the goods!

 

Gender #124 spotted.

 

We were at Rose yesterday too but it wasn't our best day on the mountain by any means. My daughter was hit by an adult skier. She's okay and it's probably a good that I wasn't with her when it happened because my reaction wouldn't have been appropriate around children.

Last run of the day and she was making nice consistent turns using about 1/3 of the width of Kit Carson and some guy comes in hot, sprays her with snow, and clips the tail of her skis, sending both tumbling. MrsTaco had to carry her and her skis down the run because she was too scared to continue skiing.

 

That's really screwed up. Hope your daughter is ok. I wasn't at the resort, I was snowmobiling on relay peak, near rose.
