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

Dumb question I know. These are the correct tires as an AT tire? Seems cheap.

Falken wildpeak at3W.

Just seems pretty cheap

 

Define correct please

 

I know that tires come in the different model as in Stiffer side walls, load, etc...

I was looking for what different models that falken wildpeak comes in. This is the at3W.

 

I'm surprised by how easy everything was to put on for the suspension. Took me about 4 hours. Next time I'll know to have a bigger jack lol.

 

looks good!

 

That looks really good. What lift is that?

 

5100's set at zero with 887 springs. The rear is dakar leaf pack.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good body shop around Reno or Carson? My buddy's shipping his restored '69 F-100 down here from Alaska and it needs some serious TLC after being up there in the rain forest.

 

DON'T take it to Caliber Collision! It used to be Gilson Auto Body. When it was Gilson it was great but Caliber bought them out and they are horrible. It took them 19 days to replace the rear bumper cover on my wife's 4Runner. It was quoted at less than a $900 repair. And I had to refuse it three times.

 

Good to know. Back in the day Gilson was great.

When the T4R needed the front end refreshed after my wife love tapped a mini cooper, USAA suggested Morels. They did a fine job on the fix, were pleasant to work with, provided regular updates, and delivered on time. Not much more I could ask for.

 

Yeah Gilson completely stripped and repainted the 4Runner in 2010 due to wind (sand) damage it sustained in SoCal when I was stationed in 29 Palms. They sent me pictures throughout the process and the insurance ended up paying a little over 8K for the complete repaint and they had it done in six days. It was done correctly and the paint still looks flawless on the car. Collision on the other hand, they will never see another one of my vehicles. I swear Maaco is a better option than those guys!

 

That's saying something

 

Concours Auto Body is great, Morels is good, not sure if I would trust anyone else but those two on my vehicles.

 

Good info, thanks!

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

My wife's Camry is going into Concours next week for some minor rear bumper damage. They've always done good work on my vehicles.

 

Hey, thinking about making a midweek day trip to Ludwig Ghost town/mine. Anyone interested? Not sure when yet, I'm waiting for the weather to clear up. Probably going to go on a Wednesday or Thursday.

 

I would love to go, but looks like I will be starting a new job on Wednesday because the weather will be better lol. How far is the place from Reno area?

 

I could probably make it Wednesday depending on how far it is.

 

That looks pretty fun.
