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

Just helped a friend install Yakima rails on a fiberglass shell yesterday. It was pretty easy.

 

Was in the garage most of the day messin around while it rained. Came in for a half hour to eat some dinner, went back out and the entire street is covered in snow. Impressive.

 

nothing at my house!!

 

Got a dusting here, maybe 1/2".

 

Same. Got a super light dusting. Like someone blew a nice layer of cocaine over the neighborhood.

 

Snowing again up here in the N Valleys. Just big fluffy flakes, no accumulation.

 

Got about an inch in Fallon. Rained first so made the roads a little messy.

What does everyone use to lock their spare tire on the bumper carrier? Just looking to keep the honest people honest.

 

This works great and uses your ignition key.

Doesn't fit 3rd Gens according to Amazon. Turd Gen discrimination!

 

I'd check the Bolt website just to verify it.

 

I installed Thule tracks on my shell a few years back. They've held up well.

 

Got about 3 inches at lake level last night

 

Yeah. Look to be about 4" at the Scenic Overlook on Mt Rose Hwy dropping into Incline this morning.

 

Every year someone does it. This one might be worse than the 4Runner last year. Looks like he’s pretty far out.

 

Definitely the wrong rig!

 

Definitely a heavy rig to try and recover from out there as well. Probably best off waiting until just before sunrise with frozen ground like the guys did to get the 4runner out

 

Rumor is one of our own was able to help get them out in far less time than it took to recover the T4R.

 

2WD too

 

What did you use inside your rhino rack rails to secure the feet of your rack? im assuing some sort of square washer with a hole and threads in the center?
