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

Agreed, my house is susceptible to flooding so I'm standing by.

 

Big ol mud puddles could be fun

 

They've already started ditching irrigation water from Lahontan reservoir into the desert out here.

 

Also these are headed for a refresh. Coils will be available. 14" 600# with 20-30k on them.



 

Checks out...

 

@la0d0g, @RelentlessFab, and others in Reno/Sparks, I'm available tomorrow morning or Friday morning if any of you need help sand bagging or moving stuff.

 

Thanks man! If shit gets crazy, I have beer!

 

If it gets real crazy I suggest whiskey and maybe some water wings

 

I’ll work for food no beer for me.

 

I stayed home, helped some elderly neighbors shovel out, sanded my driveway when I was done, and watch the plowing company make a mess of everything for everyone else.

When I head out 50 past Fallon, there's this ditch (runs under 50) that looks like it was hastily dug some years ago. Is that part of the flood relief from Lahontan? Sorry I don't know the background/history of it. I noticed it long before I moved to Nevada when I'd take 50 out to Sand Mountain, but my Googling hasn't turned up what that ditch thing is all about.

 

Yeah in 2017 we had similar issues with the need to get rid of water. They cut a wier in one of the main canals coming from Lahontan just east of Lahontan. The water goes through the desert to the south end of the valley, by top gun raceway, to a big pasture the government owns. From there it didn't have anywhere to go so they created that canal referred to as "the big dig" to give the water a path to the follow out to the Carson sink between Fallon and Lovelock. That part of the project wasn't utilized to its full potential that year as the government pasture was able to hold more water than they had to get rid of. We might need it this year...

 

anyone here with a 2nd/3rd gen sway bar assembly they'd like to part with?

 

@RelentlessFab I have a 2nd Gen bar with endlinks. I can run it by the shop tomorrow if that works.

 

That would be absolutely appreciated Zack! Does it still have the frame brackets/bushings on it too?

 

It has the bushings and I'm pretty sure I have the brackets. I can confirm in the morning when it's light out.

 

Who on here has done the ecgs BUSHING? Is it absolutely necessary or hit and miss? I plan on leveling the truck soon and wanted to know if I should do that too.

 

ECGS is a company out of North Carolina that builds diffs.

 

Are you talking about the bushing to replace the needle bearing? If so, I had it done and it was immediately noticeable with no complaints, and that was well over 100k miles ago.

 

That's what I was missing. Thanks man. lol

 

yes. What else would I be talking about. I missed one word.
