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

7.62x51 vs .50cal

 

Well that sounds like one hell of a time

 

That was a good night

 

Almost all of my lift came in today. Fed-ex made a mistake and missed a box but should be here tomorrow. Now I just need wheels and tires. Getting there.

 

I don't have any experience with them living in Reno but I had 3 sets of the Guard Dog MTR knockoffs on my old Grand Cherokee when I lived down in Sac. I never had any major issues with them. I always requested actual MTR sidewalls otherwise you might get who knows what for the carcass. Mine always balanced okay but if I didn't rotate every 3k miles they would start scalloping bad. I never got a ton of miles out of them either. I think I maybe averaged 15k miles per set? Overall they were decent way to get cheap mud terrains during high school and college.

Looking at them now though they're $135 a tire for the KO2 knockoffs plus shipping plus mount and balance. Add it all up and you're not too far off from some real KO2's from Discount Tire when they have a sale.

 

I'm seriously considering putting down a deposit for one of these:

Took a day trip out to central NV today.

 

Is that where I think it is?!

 

Those are pretty cool, also really like the things Dissent is doing could easily see adapting some sort of pop up on these:

 

WTF is that? Camper?

 

Bed rack and matching roof rack

 

Yes it is.

 

Girlfriend has never been to Hunter Lake so I tried to get up there today with her and the dogs... this is coming from the Caughlin Ranch side, real close to the top, no other way in from up here, completely blocking the road no way around. Its going to be a task to get this thing out of the way. Think its a 1958? Ford Ranchero, someone SASd it (at least I dont think these came stock with solid front axle?)and it had a roll bar. Not sure how it ended up here but it was recently lit on fire sadly.

 

Eek.

 

Umm, WTF. I wonder if there is a removal trip thread on R4x4. If not, it's time to start one.

 

question for you guys. I sold my ecgs bushing tool. Guy I sold it to got it and is claiming all the pieces where not in the box. He send me a couple of pics and from those the box looks fine. I know it was packed fine as my wife and I did it together in the post office. I wrapped all the the stuff up in some paper stuff and sealed the box. He is missing the bigger pieces to, I have no idea how those would get out and not the small little pieces. I do not want to be a dick to the guy, but also no idea to know if he is scamming me or not. I just dnt want to be out the 40 plus shipping and such. What should I do?

 

I’ve got all the pieces from mine if you want it.

 

I do not need them, Guy I sold it to might want them ahaha.



I filed a claim with post office online. I had the free 50 dollar insurance so that is the amount I filed for incase I get the shaft though pay pal. The guy I sold to has 200 posts and been on here about same time as me. The pics of the box do not add up. It looked just fine to me. I hope he woulnt be lying but it seems weird. If usps refunds me I will do the right thing. Its def not my fault, but also feel bad the dude did not get what he paid for.

 

Did he send you pics?

 

Yes, the box did not look like the parts could have came out. He said box was slightly crushed.
