RenoFest 2020 - Official Thread

Wait a second. I just saw dinner is Saturday not Sunday. So maybe I’ll show up for dinner. Where are you thinking? Wild garlic/Blind Onion?

No worries! I'll say its TBD right now depending on the trail we run Saturday. There's a usual place in Carson City we've gone to the past couple years, I forget the name of the place or what road its on but I know how to drive there haha I'll let some of the other Reno guys chime in if they remember what place it is.

Is it the chain restaurant (Round Table?) by Walmart on the North end of town?
College Parkway (I think) next to, or near, Dickey’s BBQ.

I assume the whole ‘eat food together’ thing is TBD unless we sit in the parking lot 6 feet away.

I just checked the requirements. I have literally everything it says NOT to. 260 u joints, Dana 30 front with no spare shafts, 35 rear, and HOPEFULLY all the ‘broken’ stuff is fixed now. I assume most of that was for Rubicon so no one got stuck or abandoned.

Upgrade your shafts to 760 joints and keep the 260s for your spares. A replacement rear axle should be easy enough to find and swap in before the trip.

X2 on the “have Dana 35, will travel”.

If I make it, I’ll wheel with you and we will get each other out. Maybe one of us will have spare D35 shafts!

swap in some 760 shafts its quick and easy.

As for the 35 rear, 8.25s are usually free or cheap and can be swapped in a few hours...

I would think with your setup you could at least show up to the prison hill run on Friday evening and put put around that should be fine.

I'm suppose to be getting a couple of stock XJ 44s next weekend. Might be posting one or both for sale.

Bring one with and we can do a parking lot swap.

I have a Sterling 10.25 in the garage waiting. No point finding an 8.25 or anything else for one trip.

I somehow made it into Soup Bowl on my first run without my front CAD working so I think it’s okay. Plus the free rear end would need a locker and my current 35 has at least a lock rite.

Anyone want to caravan to Reno from the Colfax area Friday afternoon (one ish)?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

we have the campsite from Thursday on, so ill probably head up thursday after work

 

[cj_mike]

I'm planning to leave the bay area about 8AM to 9AM Thursday which means I should get to camp about 1PM-2PM after fuel and food stops at Jeep speed

 

[Alboy97XJ]

I'll come out Thursday when I get off work and setup.

We need our final count by April 30th for shirts, please let me know if you'll be planning to attend and would like a shirt - even if you can't attend, you can still order a shirt!

As the COVID-19 situation is fluid, for now I'll be sending invoices for all below for shirts which would be non-refundable but when we hear a confirmation at the end of the month from the campsite all is still on, I'll send out separate invoices for camping and dinner.

I don't remember where exactly as I'm not familiar with the area but I think it might be a Round Table as they had a separate big room we all ate in last time.

Also, can you please PM me your email address so I can send you a PayPal invoice for the shirt?

Thanks!

One correction to my order Mike. I need 2 meals please.
