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

We work with D&D a lot, they're pretty good. Not sure how much residential thru do in reno though.

 

ended up taking the dog for a walk and one of the guys in my area is licensed and worked for a company that wont be named. offered him $50 and he took care of it under the table and generated me an invoice to keep the buyers happy. just need the painters to show up tomorrow and can be done with everything.

the damn wire wasn't connected to anything and was only 18" long but they insisted it was inspected and documented by a licensed electrician. easiest $50 that dude probably made. wanted to take care of it myself because I figured it was that simple.

that was their biggest issue with our house, i am assuming the inspector didn't say anything about it when we bought it due to it being 18" long and probably forgot to just yank it out when he was up there. had to fill in some soil around the foundation where my dog decided to dig a bit and replace a lightbulb (silly nonsense)

 

Surprisingly very few people out this weekend. Hit up a few different springs and they was was hardly anyone at any of them. Weather was a bit hot during the day but perfect for a soak once the sun went down.

Also finally picked up a fridge so I got to test that out. Should’ve done it a lot sooner.

 

We did a last minute trip out to Ichthyosaur State Park and camped just west in Toiyabe Natl Forest. Very cool State Park if you haven't been there, well worth the $5 admission.

 

@nvnv, how are you powering your fridge? I'm running mine off the main battery which works when I'm driving every day but not ideal for multi day stops but I haven't done enough research to figure out what I need for a 2nd battery.

 

Just off my main battery for now and I monitor battery voltage off my Switch Pro app. I usually don’t stay in one place longer than a night but I plan to get a small portable solar setup for when I do.

This last trip after driving my battery was usually around 12.6v and then in the morning after 14-16 hours it was still around 12.3v.

 

I love my Dometic fridge. Like you, I should have gotten one a long time ago.

 

Anybody in need of a 96 Taco xtra cab 4x4 rolling shell? Just about done taking everything needed from my Tacoma over to my 4runner. Drive train is all there worn 33's and a spare, 4.56 gearing, chevy leafs in the back and adjustable billies up front. Most of the armor is welded on so it stays too. $500 with a rebuilt title.

 

Yes, do you have pics? How is the body?

 

Body is ok. There is some old damage on drivers side but fairly decent everywhere else. Can send you some pics when I get home tonight. Passenger side isn't too bad.

 

Love that place!

 

Ok cool, if you send the pics, I can show my pops. He needs the cab.

 

You guys are going to ruin the end of my summer. I have someone pm'ing me about a cab he has, I have se7enine with this rolling chassis......
Heres the thing, my dad gets a cab, and yay for him!! he will have a much nicer 95 taco...but whos the sucker thats going to have to swap everything
over to the donor???
Dont ruin the end of my summer. LOL!

 

Sounds like a "mod day"...

 

if 5 of us got to work on that thing, it probably would be so bad.....
if 5 of us got to work on that thing with beer.....nothing would get done. hahaha

 

You're a beer half empty kind a guy! Although probably not far off.

 

It was a lot easier to take out everything from the Tacoma than it was/is putting it into my 84. Lots of beer and even more f___ing C___ yells.

 

haha see my cab is all ready stripped, get mine so I can get @se7enine 's truck.

 

Let me figure out where im going to put this stuff. and i still need to show my pops. he gets to ultimately make the decision.

 

I’m probably going to try to make this if anyone else is interested.
