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

eagle canyon park.

 

Just cruise around the back of Delores or go up by the water tanks at the back of sun valley/highland ranch

 

Not sure if the new 4wp location has it but they used to have a Little Rock garden and a ramp if you just needed to flex it out.

 

Was just down at the new 4WP today checking it out for their grand opening, didn't see the RTI ramp and the rock pile i believe stayed at the old location (which if you guys havent seen is turning into an Offroad Warehouse location to open next month)

 

Never found a whole lot out in eagle canyon for flexing. Am I missing a specific area?

 

just me or does it feel like 80 is closed down way more this winter than last year? Although I was gone december 20-jan 15 of last year when we got the bulk of the seasons snowfall. so That may be why.

Was hoping to make it to northstar tomorrow for some more pow turns

 

We've had more wet weather compared to last year but in general it seems like the past five or so years 80 has closed more than I remember prior to then.

 

I haven’t heard of Offroad Warehouse. Are they owned by 4wp or is it a different company?

 

As mentioned Delores is a good close spot. Definitely some flexy spots but also recommended that you're armored up, sliders and skids at least and personally I wouldn't take anything through that didn't at least have 35's unless you don't care about constantly banging your sliders/skids. Sun valley by the water towers off Chimney Dr as well have some decent ruts to flex in.

This is a taste of Delores... mostly mellow trail but also some kinda knarly spots at least for a Taco and there is potential for body damage.

 

How do you get to Delores? I don't believe I've been there. Looks fun! How long is the trail?

 

Take Dolores Dr off Pyramid Way and just follow it down until it hits dirt and intersects Marie Way. It's pretty short, only about a mile or so long but if I recall correctly it took me about 1.5/2 hours to do and I didn't finish it 100% all the way up into the canyon either, maybe 3/4 of the way.

 

Thanks! Maybe when the weather gets a bit nicer we can all have a taco meet up day and run it.

 

Anytime and that would be awesome, solo here most of the time but would like to find others to head out with for sure.

 

So I actually did a little googling after your question...
4WP (as part of Transamerican) was sold last year to Wheelpros (who now owns almost every big-name wheel company in the offroad space). Prior to that sale 4WP was owned by Polaris Industries from 2016-22 and Greg Adler was CEO of 4WP.... according to ORW's website Greg Adler is also their CEO and President. So it'll be interesting to see how the stores compare. There are several other ORW locations in CA and AZ I'm aware of, looks like they're making a push at expansion possibly as competition to 4WP nationally.

 

If you drive out to Fernley, Polaris has a huge warehouse (just east of Lowes) that has a mega 4WP logo on the east side of the building. Not sure how ORW fits in but big corps don't stray far especially in a niche market

 

In about 2019 they started closing it down between Truckee and Gold Ranch a lot quicker than before.

 

Sweet shots!

 

What psi did you air down on that trail?

 

18 psi but I would have gone lower if I knew how it was ahead of time.
