Also there is a local maker space called the Generator in Sparks that has a full auto shop and metal shop. Used to be free for all but now they are charging a membership fee for those who can afford it.
I'd like to meet somewhere we can drive a little. I think the hills up past verdi are nice, there is a well trafficked quartz mine up there with an area big enough to park several cars. Pyramid lake is always a hit. Also out near huffaketer hills there are some trails that would facilitate a...
I was trying to get a reddit group going (https://www.reddit.com/r/RenoOverland/) I tried to plan a trip to do the Reno to Virginia City route, but it was hard to coordinate - does anyone have a location in mind?
Hi everyone,
I am putting together a quick trip from Reno to Virginia City this weekend (1.20.18) for anyone in the area. We'll meet up at Huffaker Hills Trailhead at noon. There is a parking lot there.
Route is going down to Virginia City and you can see it here. Easy day trip, stock 4x4's...
@Shane sure do! It's right here. Feel free to download and modify. This sheet was the original, I've since made some changes to my plan. I'm still going back and forth of the roof top tent... I kinda want it because I end up camping alone quite a bit, and being up off the ground is a nice...
Hi there! Thanks for the response. I've been monitoring the voltage on all 4 O2 sensors and I'm seeing bank 1, sensors 1 & 2 sit around 0.6v - sensor 2 on bank one will jump up to 0.7-0.8v occasionally. On bank 2, I'm seeing 0.6v @ sensor 1 and 0.8v @ sensor 2. Does that help?
Heya~
So it's that time of year when I have to get smogged, and I'm getting a check engine light indicating both P0420 and P0430 (P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2)/P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)) at the same time.
I'm driving a 2006...
I didn't grab a gas can... I figured... I've got like a 250 mile range on a full tank running offroad. If I run out, I've done something terribly wrong. I also had the thought, if I strap a gas can to my roof, will I end up using more gas to carry it up there?
@brien I have long term plans for a HAM going into mine, but for now I too am bringing a CB just so we can have some vehicle to vehicle communication. I picked up a pretty cheap handheld one so I'm not expecting any kind of great range. But who knows, if I roll up to the rally point at like...
@brien there is a chance we will need to carry all our water, 15 gallons should be enough. Unless you're going to be showering and stuff with it. Typically I refill my containers @ USFS outpost. Also I was looking at permits and what not and it looks like Utah requires you to "pack it in pack it...
Yeah I know. My friends and I were joking at what bad millennials we are for our lack of picture taking... not one selfie was taken! To be completely fair... I was pretty focused on driving the entire time =p
