When are the majority showing up, Thursday or Friday?
We were planning on Thursday for a full day Friday on the trail like the last few years.
Have things changed?

I believe friday

Reno fest a couple years ago we did a trail out of Spanish Springs that I can't remember the name of. One hill climb was kinda washed out with a sketchy drop off on the drivers side and on part of the trail were cool wind cave formations in the rocks. I think at one point we caught a view of Pyramid Lake off in the distance..what's the name of this trail?

The Saturday runs aren't 100% yet. If enough people would rather do steves loop then we could change it up.

My son is planning on attending and his jeep is on 31's open. We are planning on doing Steve's Loop on Saturday, so this would be great if anyone else would like to go.

31s open will be a good time on steve if its the same as last time j was up it.

They were thinking of doing Dolores for the easy run on Saturday.

Haha, I googled "dolores jeep trail nevada" and the first video result is titled "BlondeJonCherokee at Dolores" from back in 2012

I'd like to stay close and do some Spanish Springs trails Saturday.

The only thing I have done to try to fix my wobble has been to stay under 50MPH and while it has worked, I don’t think it is a long-term fix. Have fun!

We can split into groups like we usual do. A steves loop group and a Spanish springs area group. Either way all meetup at the chevron in spanish at 9am and split groups then.

damnit. Y'all are doing the trails in Spanish Springs I've wanted to hit also. Have fun.

LOL really?

Oh man just looked it up. way back in the day. I think that was when I learned that guy on here screwed me over and sold me a true trac and not a detroit locker. Tru tracs are pure garbage. So i was basically wheeling with LSD front and not a locker ...

Turns out Taylor won't be able to go on Saturday. I could still lead a Steve's Loop run (I like that trail) or I'll do whatever with the group in Spanish Springs.

What a great run this year. Despite losing our camp reservation, and the wind on the first night this was epic. Great turnout. Raise a lot of money for yearly donations. Great group of people showed up. Here are a few pics from my phone. The sky was amazing tonight at the campfire.

I just posted a bunch of photos in the "Naxja Events - Reno Run" section below. Should make searching for photos of this trip a little easier if needed.

Looks like someone is buying a nodular iron 9" center section, and maybe a pinion guard from Ruff Stuff.

I still have the axle with the full spool in it.
