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

anyone seeking some rear shocks for 05 tacoma and up. approx 20k miles on them however, they are rebuildable .

 

Playdate? Also my lab likes to grab beeter bottles, ful and empty. Should I be enabling this behavior or let her be?
Anyone got a soft topper for a long bed turd gen they wanna sell?

 

If you ever need a dog trainer I recommend getting a female cat. My Cat has the dogs in check inside the house.

 

I wish you posted them a month ago. I could have used them on the 4runner. What do you want for them?

 

shit idk 200? I can bring them up and the TV, and your spare . plus I wanna take the doggos back to the park and let them play in the snow since guys got hammered up there right?

 

He's not quite 4 months, so we're waiting for his shots to be done (next month) before we actively expose him to other dogs. The vet said parvo is prevalent up here, so we decided to play it safe. After that, yes - let them romp. Maybe some rough play will get his balls to drop. Lol.

 

If you can train that pup to bring you fresh beers, I will be jealous and demand to know the technique.

 

Even better if it's your neighbor's beer

 

Like that pet penguin that would walk himself to the store for food.

 

Well, its kinda weird, my golden isis, started picking up random things, shoes, socks, shirts, dishes, logs, everytime I would come home, or when I would wake up and she would want attention. She does not chew on it, just holds them in her mouth and crys loudly. The choco lab zoey started doing the same thing. She started playing with empty plastic sparking water bottles. she would reach intro the recycle bin grab them for toys. SO , I started letting her do the same with glass bottles. I left one on the floor to see if she would pick it up, she did and just followed me around the house with it in her mouth. IDK, maybe she likes glass bottles? I will keep going and see if she can fetch them, if she can, then yeah shes gonna be the official TW reno mascot for group meetups

 

fromunda snow

 

Lucky yours still looks tight. Whenever it rains or snows my 4R sunroof leaks so bad … cup holders just become dog bowls

 

Any of you guys use budget traction boards that you would recommend? Fully understand the concept and benefits but can’t justify 400 bucks for Max tracks. Don’t need ones that’ll support the weight of the truck over divots like a bridge. Just for mud and snow mainly.



went maybe 3/4 of the way up peavine yesterday. This picture is after we had turned back. Didn’t have the time yesterday to get stuck and dig out. Snow was probably 8” where we called it quits. Stock height truck so didn’t want to start plowing with the skids or rear Diff.
Still solid fun

 

will be lookin to do the same thing soon. Earlier this year we went campin at white rock lk (same venture where that rogue tree took out my panel). Still plenty of snow in some areas and another couple people tried to go further down to another spot. they got there eventually after both their wrangler and 4runner high centered on about 12-14" of snow and spent a couple hours digging and pulling themselves out.

 

What side of Peavine did you venture up to?

 

Just the main road. Started on some side trails off of Virginia near panther road. Some of those were looking a little ambitious for what I was up for yesterday. Made my way from there to the main road up.

 

Rough Country are the cheapest. Probably work just fine for $100


Here's $80:

No one recommending using the floor mats yet? lol

 

TRD or standard?

 

@cartter469, if you're not carrying a shovel that's what I'd spend my money on first. A $20 spade from Lowe's or Home Depot is a very useful recovery tool.

Before ruining floormats I'd at least try airing down. If that doesn't work, a couple 2x4 scraps strapped to the rear wheels with ratchet straps is about as cheap as it gets (assuming you don't tear up your fender).
