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

You should say

 

Alright! Just need some tires now. I ended up going with 5100 x4 with 887 coils and Dakar leaf pack.

Most likely will go with the 275/70/17.

 

Well I'm back in a Tacoma. Got it a couple months ago but forgot to post it here. Currently at 12,500 miles. First up is suspension and @RelentlessFab armor.

 

what fire department do you work for?

 

Central Lyon County

 

Right on, I was thinking of applying as a reserve out there.

 

It's a great program. Lots of the guy's get picked up at other departments, you get a lot of great experience. They just hired another group a month ago but they hire a couple times a year and they're always accepting applications.

 

oh nice, you just have to be a basic right? (i'm currently getting my advanced)

 

That's correct. I definitely recommend working in the field once you get it, it's easy to loose the information it if you don't use it. Most departments require being a Paramedic.

 

Yeah I know I was hoping to be able to go sparks but they are moving to paramedic, I got on the list for Reno right when they starting paramedics.. I just need to get my medic haha

 

Yeah Sparks went ALS, most are the same way. Medic school is smart, you can then go anywhere. I was fortunate and got hired before I started medic school.

 

every department i apply to goes medic right when I apply

 

Yeah I know the feeling. If you have any experience check out North Tahoe (Cal side) they hire basics.

 

Do they really? I worked two years for north Lake Tahoe (Nevada side, incline) I assumed they were paramedic too

On another note, does anyone in Reno have u bolts for sale? I finished all hub stuff earlier than planned and I would like to avoid buying them from autozone, they don't have 2 1/2" square u bolts anyways..
Or does someone local have a flip kit?
I would like to get the new ones on, but heard a bunch of "no's" in reusing stock u bolts

 

Yeah I'm not sure how many they hire but we had one in our academy. It sounds like they lost some people and will be hiring again soon.

 

Awesome thanks for the heads up!

 

You're welcome! If you're in the Northern Nevada area we should go on a trail ride sometime. Maybe get the other reno members

 

I would be down for this. We should go up in the Quincy area.

 

Yeah for sure, I think their were others that mentioned getting something going a few pages back, dog valley sounds fun I've never done it but it sounds like it's snowed in still..
