Peavine trash

[72 Virginians]

Drove around for a little bit on Peavine today. I was looking for an exuse to play around with the GPS today. I marked some wrecked vehicles and other trash. Maybe it will help with another organized clean up in the future.
I wouldn't mind heading up there some afternoon and spotting more junk. The days are getting shorter so I wouldn't have too much time after work.

Anywho, here's an overview of where I went:

Here's the first mattress we found:

Thats just sad to see all of that. We should get a plan to clean this up in Nov. urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Did you smell the panties:D

Thats just sad to see all of that. We should get a plan to clean this up in Nov. urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Did you smell the panties:D

YUP I AGREE a Pantie clean up is definatly in order:thumbsup:... damn that rape coutch is nasty:sick: :sick: yeah me and KillerKeller went back there on saturday and saw tons of trash: 2 cars and a mattress.

[Connect]

that ranger used to be in a mine hole at the top of the mountain where that old f150 and upside down blue car were :P

[72 Virginians]

Would the fall or spring be better for a clean-up? RHG organized the last one so he would have all of the details to pull it off. We talked about it a bit on the Bodie run.

[Sierra Valley]

This fall, we need to get this cleaned up. Im down for Nov.

[72 Virginians]

Maybe we should plan of marking a few more of the cars before just to get an idea of what we need.

[cagle]

That looked like the bed you were getting rid of :D ???

[phinx4x4]

yeah it need cleaned up soon was out two weeks ago and it looked bad in spots... if you all want help let me know!

[72 Virginians]

That looked like the bed you were getting rid of :D ???

Na, that bed had a few more stains on it. I was too scared to even touch it with a stick.

[Connect]

RHG has every single car marked on the entire mountain, I know because I helped him do it. He was planning on organizing another clean-up run more focused on removing carcas's this fall, after the fire danger went away and the mountain got wet a little.

Although I'm seeing alot of the same thing as the last run, alot of people who say they are going to contribute their time/money/vehicle, but when the day comes no one shows :rolleyes:

[Reno Computer Repair]

TOTALLY CORRECT WITH CONNECT FOR $200.00!!! LOADS OF PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE GONNA SHOW -LIKE 60 - THEN ONLY 12 SHOW UP>>>>>WTF????????????


In order for another cleanup to happen we need:

1. Six full weeks lead time for Waste Management to donate a 40 yard container.

2. We need permission from the USFS to tow the cars out because of the fire danger. Last time they were very gracious & let us go ANYWHERE on the mountain (horse/ bike/walking area's) to find the cars & cleanup trash.
The car removal was nixed by the USFS Supervisor as we hit high temps.

3. A couple of full-size trucks - maybe even diesel to get some of the vehicles out that are super heavy with no wheels - they will need to be dragged.

4. Wal-Mart to nut-up and donate water this time, that was totally chickenshiat in June, it was 102' outside both days...."Oh, so sorry, we had to decline your request for a donation of water". Decline my teabag you non-helping at the base of Peavine - Corporate America turd burglars. Again, I will buy drinks & arrange transportation for a group pee-in at the Mae-Anne Walfart.:(
:eek: Maybe even send them a Christmas card with a group photo of the 4x4 MOON.:idea:
5. Safeway, Albertsons contacted about water. Wells Fargo & Albertsons will usually donate employees to help any cause. Good on them.

[Reno Computer Repair]

Anyway, my point is the logistics for another full cleanup are OUT there. I did it all last time, and it left me:sick: :sick:

I just want to get the vehicles out, all of them, before 12-1-06.
THAT IS MY GOAL. One fight at a time, and that is the easiest first. Kinda like when your at the bar:nervous: :thumbsup::wave:

[Denis]

Well, we should do it soon then. The temps are going down and the fire danger has passed. Maybe sometime in Nov? That will give enough time to get the dumpster set-up.

[RARECJ8]

larry w/ the USFS said with his coordination, the hulks will be removed by a local tow company-- we just have to get them to the roadside--- in the above pix, there are at least 4 cars w/in 1/3 mile of the pavement. And its mostly downhill. Getting a dumpster and the wait time seems a long time to wait-- how about focusing on the cars first and w/ short notice i bet he'd green light it now... and since fire restrictions are now lifter, let's do it. next w/e? They might drag along easier upside down than on the wheel hubs/frame.

if someone has a cutting torch, that would make some if it easier.

RHG, do u have larry's #?

This was the exact plan all along, drag them on their roof to the roadside where the Police would tow them. Although I'm not sure if the fire danger is completely gone, they may want more moisture :P

some of the cars were, off-trail. We had permission to remove them as lightly as possible to get rid of them.

I'd be happy to donate another weekend to clean up efforts, although early november would be the more logical time to try.

[Reno Computer Repair]

I have Larry's email (which I do not know if he checks cause he never sent a reply). I can call him Wed to find out.

A couple weeks and pulling out the cars sounds good, don't want to be winching :censor: with frozen fingers and a shrunken teabag.

How many people we got here that have tow CHAINS - not tow straps?
The reason I ask, cause the tow ropes are gonna get Freddy Krueger love from all the bullet holes causing burrs.

[Connect]

I got a long and short chocke chain, both heavy duty.

I'm all for having a cutting torch just in case but there is no way I'm putting two highly flammable pressurized tanks in my jeep for a fun day on the trail :roll: :eek:

[Sierra Valley]

My jeep is now working, was broke down last clean-up. Maybe we can get the hills angles and rockgods cooperation on this? Nov is good for me, I still have a bunch of hunting to do on the weekends this month:D

Possibly Dirty Harry can do a write-up on this? Some PR

[4x Adventurer]

You can count me in on another clean up! I'll bring a smoke wrench and the F-350, It will pull almost anything. I also have a few extra seats if someone needs a lift.

[Denis]

I'd be in for pulling some cars on Oct. 21st

[72 Virginians]

I can get some tow chains from NAPA. I'll call later and get some prices.

Anybody ever think of getting a write up in RnR? I know it's a lefty rag but maybe an article there will bring attention to the clean up. I know a few people that know a few people that write for the RnR. Worth a shot.

I work Saturdays so, I'll be in for a Sunday clean up. Might give me a chance to get the kink out of my winch. Anytime in November would be cool with me.

[RUNITOVER]

I'm in...and I think my friend's dad is like an/the editor or sometihing of the RnR, I'll call her and get back to ya.

[72 Virginians]

I'm in...and I think my friend's dad is like an/the editor or sometihing of the RnR, I'll call her and get back to ya.


That would be cool. Now if we could get RHG to sit down for an interview. :D

[Reno Computer Repair]

Interview??? All they would want to know is why I left the Adult Film Industry for a lucrative job pitching cardboard at the casino....:scratch: :scratch:

The weekend of October 21st? Sounds good.
Getting the rocks gods to show up....hmm none showed last time. I think 1 or 2 Hills Angels showed.

Rockape.....here is your next challenge:eek:

[72 Virginians]

Will this carry over to the 22nd?

[RARECJ8]

getting folks to show up for one day is a lot easier than two consecutive days. Perhaps a call to larry and pitch the dates-- the tow comapnies may not be available on a sunday. If we wait for snow, we can ski them to the pavement, haha.

just left him a voicemail, so we'll see. BTW, his # is 882-2766 Larry Anderson.

i can rally some HAs and the rockgods could be invited-- we'll see just who shows up. IMO, there's more to wheeling than just chilling out at moonrocks every w/e.

[Sierra Valley]

I still say Nov works best for me. Probably wont make the 21st:nervous:

[phinx4x4]

hey guys. i see you are trying to get a 40 yard roll off from waste management. well i have family that works there, so i gave them a call and told them what you all have in mind for dong and she siad it should be no problem just needs dates and to ok it with with her next higher up on the ladder. so if you could try to set a firm date as to when this will be taking place, i could posibly get you one. ill keep you posted on what they say...

[Sierra Valley]

set a date for nov so people can plan accordingly

[scottb]

yeah buddy- i got a nice good chain i've used to tow many cars and half cars around in my younger days... good times. give me a 2 weeks at least of warning and i can make it- weekends are good.

[Reno Computer Repair]

October 22nd, Sunday.

Would like to get this done ASAP. And I don't want to freeze my arse off.

I'll have 2 shorter chains that can be used as chokers and 1, perhaps 2, longer tow chains.

Cool, I can do Sundays. Hopefully, I can get one of the rusting hulks to pull hard enough and undo the kink in my winch cable.

[phinx4x4]

ok i got you guys a dumpster 30 yarder... :thumbsup: posibly two... :rock: let me know what the date is you plan on doing this and where we would want to have it. also they want to talk to a rep of the group. so yeah there you go!!

[72 Virginians]

Right on!
I hope we can get a lot done with less than 2 weeks notice. :thumbsup:

[phinx4x4]

so it looks like we are shooting for the 22nd am i right? just so i know a date range to tell Greg when i talk to him tomorrow. again i aslo need to know where we will want the dumpsters to be?? like a trail head or something? where were they the last time this was done? thanks!!!

[Got4wd]

I'm in.

[RARECJ8]

As a test case, i vote we meet one night up there really soon maybe after work and really give it a try and see just what is entailed in moving one of those wrecks. two rigs chained up to a hulk will soon tell us what of time factor to calculate success on a full scale day to be scheduled. Besides, RHG can buy post-test goodies up at blind onion or chewey and jugs.

pick a day and lets rip up there for a look-see.

this may be a good straping/winching exercise on vehicle righting, compound winching, recovery skills, etc.

[Connect]

My f150 drug a 1/2ton cheby with drive train no problem, I think we could get like three groups together to make things go faster, instead of 12 rigs to move 1 vehicle :P

Some of these vehicles still have fluids and tires that roll so appropriate precautions must be taken to prevent spillage or runaway vehicles. Shoot out full tires, stuff to clamp fuel lines, fire extinguishers, etc.

[Reno Computer Repair]

For the trash containers... At the Keystone trailhead like they had last time...on the dirt roundabout. Tell Greg I said thanks again. He can contact me again as the rep 722-6969 - Kevin.

How does this Thursday after 5pm for a trial run sound?

[72 Virginians]

I have a meeting Thursday til 6:30. :(

Anything else we need? I'll check into the tow chains and get a price if we slow down some.

[phinx4x4]

hey guys is there any way we can do this oct 29th or nov 5th?? :scratch: :dunno: it will be hard to get a dumpster for that early... are these reasonably dates for every one. and i kept it a sunday. let me know!!:thumbsup: and thanks kevin ill give him your number when i hear from him tomorrow.

[Connect]

I'm down for a trail run tommorrow night, I got chains biatch! :P

Oct 29th isn't good for me. We're gonna look at a few ghost towns that day.
I really want to get in on this one. The more help we have getting the cars off of Peavine, the better chance we have to removing more. :thumbsup:

Yea I'm busy on all around halloween so it's gonna have to be early november

[Reno Computer Repair]

I am going to try to pull one off Tomorrow after 5PM. Any spotters available??????:thumbsup:

Mike,

Give me a ring about 4:30PM Thursday if you can, just in case my appointments run late :)

And since you have my number Justin, give us a ring when you get out, we may still be up there......

Sorry Mark, but have to be at corporate hell Friday at 6pm. The tips have been royally sucking this last month:maddance: :maddance: :maddance:

No one from the Rockgods showed cause the site didn't exist. I am sure that some arrangemnts can be made even thought the biggest obstacles on Peavine are the junked cars. Its one sport just different levels of intensity, but if they close that area others are soon to follow. So post an official date and what is needed and I am sure Some of THEROCKGODS memebers will man up to help!:thumbsup: And if you guys remove that couch were will Sierra Valley take his ladies for a little romance????

From the way RHG was talkin', the junked cars are priority. So, there's a chance SV will have his romancin' spot for a little while. :eek: :D

The couch stays until it snows;)

Possibly, but the best outlook for everyone seems like early nov rather then next weekend, too soon.

[Reno Computer Repair]

What if we meet up Sunday Noon for test Pull. If everyone else want to wait till the 5th of November, then more power to them. I am pulling things of starting this weekend until I fry my clutch.

As far as the main push & drag, how about next Sunday at 9am?

I'm available on the 21st.

[RARECJ8]

wow! we're a busy lot! RHG mentions this sunday, however, recall a number of members on this board and the HAs will be doing Bronco Canyon and the Petroglyphs this sunday. Leave from Lockwood exit 10am.

Nov 4th is out, since that's the date of our house warming and shop opening party-- uh, ur invited but are asked to BYOB and some food item to share. (BTW, i'll miss the pizza night 11/3-- that night is Fantasies in Chocolate.
http://gotorenotahoe.com/news/stories/html/2005/10/13/2095.php?po=1&pc=4663

Nov 11th is the annual HA run from Bordertown over to Loyalton-- Sierra Valley has a fine route plotted that is new territory for most of us. I wonder if its easier to tug along a wreck when the ground is frozen? Hummm.....My personal preference is to jump in and do it now, even if we only get out one, its a start. If at least two rigs double chain to the wreck, it should come along nicely. The USFS guy Larry has green lighted the 21st and is awaiting a confirming call...so...????

mb

[72 Virginians]

Maybe schedule 2 or 3 cleanups a year. Try to schedule them before and after the fire season.
:dunno:

[Reno Computer Repair]

We cannot get the dumsters by the 21st, so the 21st&22nd just for dragging vehicles off? Sounds good

[72 Virginians]

Sounds good to me. Maybe I can get some help getting the kink out of my winchline before moving cars.

On another note, a guy here had his 1960 VW Baja stolen about a year ago. If it's found, he wants the hood to mount on his wall.

[RARECJ8]

ur a kinky dude...hehehe. junk that wire rope and get a synthetic line. retz1 will had a deal, so get it awn before ur hands get ripped apart-- yes, those line spurs go right thru leather gloves...

so what's the deal? wait for the 21st and do the drag... or go recon it sooner.

[Connect]

I'm still down for a test drag!

And yes for how cheap synthetic winch line is you shouldn't even think twice about it!

[72 Virginians]

Yeah, the plan is to go synthetic but I have a list of other parts to buy 1st. :rolleyes:

[72 Virginians]

Is the test drag still goin down today? When/where?

Ok, so that's what he was talking about. The same place I went in Monday.

I have to stop by the house and grab some stuff. So, I might be a few minutes late.

Off topic here, but when you add members to your cell, do you add them under their name or Reno4x4 handle? :D

[Connect]

Haha, half and half. most are under their names but Kevin is under RenoHiltonKevin cause I already got 3 kevins :P

He's RHG in mine. Most everybody else is by handle.

[72 Virginians]

Well, me and Connect went up there and dragged a car down. Took less than an hour to do. I figure with a lot of help next week and some strong rigs, we could clean up a lot. RHG has all of coordinates and from there we can figure out the logistics.

Here's some pics:

I know it's one of the easier cars to get to but it didn't take long to get it down the hill. Make next Sunday a day for some good old fashioned hard work clean up some trails. We can have fun tomorrow and the next Sunday.

i got the dumpsters no problem but sound like most of the day will bepulling the cars out. so are we meeting up this weekend?? :scratch: what time and where?? i want to help do this!:smokin:

[Reno Computer Repair]

October 21st & 22nd This Weekend!!!!

Meet at the Keystone Trailhead (Where Keystone ends @ McCarran) Follow road to left, it turns to dirt at a the end. You will see a big USFS sign in the dirt lot.

Say 10 am for the early birds, I cannot get up too early because of late shifts this weekend.

Just the cars this time around, we can do the trash when we have more lead time.

Channel 16 on the CB.

We may need some full-size beasts to get the heavier ones out.

So rollcall...who is coming???

72 Virginians: Sunday?
4x4 Adventure?
Dennis?
Connect?
4x4Phin?
RenoHilton: Saturday & Sunday
Washoe Wrangler?
Scrub?
DBXJ?
Rockape?
Men's Club Strippers?;)

[72 Virginians]

Yeah, I'm in for Sunday.

[RARECJ8]

sunday will be OK here-- gotta haul and spread 7 yards of DG sat... u non-homeowners, just wait, hahahahahah...

with the run to school bus canyon on sat, its sunday? Larry w/ USFS will need a heads up-- kevin? anyone? i can call but i need date(s)/time(s) certain. yeah, like we need an escort, but it's nice to have their blessings.

and they can order the tow rig.

mb

[Reno Computer Repair]

Blessing?

That came in the form of rain today. It will make it interesting if it keeps up, because I do not have the money for mud-tires.

I will call him Tuesday to let him know of our plans, and Rockape's couch!;)

[72 Virginians]

I'm not sure if touching that couch and the surrounding debris without rubber gloves or a full biosuit would be a good idea. :eek:

so what day for sure is help/removal needed-- i cannot do two days in a row, as the old lady will have my huevos in a pickle jar.

mb

[72 Virginians]

I think RHG is making this a 2 day event. He'll probably be on later today will all of the logistics and info.

[phinx4x4]

i bo believe its a to day thing. im frre both days so what ever day needs more help im there. And alos where are we meeting up?? not sure about that is it the keystone trail head like mentioned earlyer?

Ok, I needed a case pf PBR to help translate that. :dunno:

Anyway, I've heard Wally World parking lot and I've heard Keystone trailhead. If there's a lot of rigs, maybe the back lot at WW would be good for setting everything up.

Cool, anything else we need?

[Reno Computer Repair]

Strippers & Beer. :nono: :nono:

[72 Virginians]

I can get the beer, then I'd have no more $$$ left for strippers.....

Unless I got em off of 4th.

Pizza afterwards?

i have a question for you guys... when we get the cars pulled to the bottom how are we getting rid of them??

[Connect]

i have a question for you guys... when we get the cars pulled to the bottom how are we getting rid of them??

The USFS or Police department are going to tow them somewhere. Are we going to get the police to do VIN checks and get some justice???

[phinx4x4]

Justice!! that will teach them!

[Connect]

Justice!! that will teach them!

Oh yea, seeing as the fee for dumping on the mountain is a measley $250 and even less if they go to court and agree to remove the trash... :thumbsup:

[phinx4x4]

$250 seems like it would be more

[72 Virginians]

Actually, that sounds right. It should be more like $2500. Pay up or get your wages garnished. If you have no job, then you have plenty of time to pick up garbage, wash patrol cars, and feed the homeless.

[RUNITOVER]

So rollcall...who is coming???


I'm in on saturday 10-2 to help out, help clean up a lil :bs: my tj is an SE so it cant tow for crap:( ....

[ChaseNme]

I should be good to go on saturday I have chains What time are we meeting on Saturday 9:00am?

[Connect]

10 am i think

[Reno Computer Repair]

10am...

I have a late shift prior to cleanup on both days.:scratch: :(

We will deposit the captured booty near the access roady by the drainage ditch. The USFS will have a wrecker take them from there.

Everybody have fire extinquishers just in case........

[72 Virginians]

Dang Kev, no sleepin in at all. You need a medal or something for this. :eek:

I'll be there Sunday. I'll try to remember to grab some boxes from work for trash.

[Reno Computer Repair]

BTW, channel 16 on the CB.

One more rollcall, need to know how many Krispy Kremes to bring!

If you have a GPS, bring it & we can give you the location of about 15 vehicles.

[Reno Computer Repair]

Just got off work, have to pick up my son for the cleanup.:idea:

[Denis]

I have someone's chain. It was used to pull that white '80 Chevy car.

[72 Virginians]

Did you guys leave anything for us tomorrow?

[Connect]

Did you guys leave anything for us tomorrow?

Yes we will have plenty for you to tow :D :P

Dennis you have my chain, it's old and rusty, the other one was Mark's.

I have David's skinny chain that broke a link.

Good job today, we got 8 down (including the white car dennis pulled down) plus whatever dennis' group pulled off after we split up. Tommorrow we are focusing on the SW and peak of the mountain. Hopefully we won't get the cops called on us again :eek:

Damage: (yes there was damage) Alot of broken chains/tow straps, and Chasenme blew up his front diff :D :roll: He blew almost the entire top of the case off of it, imagine your pumpkin without a top on it. :mad: Still waiting to see what exactly happened on the insides!

Thanks to Greg and Bill for doing most of the pulling, Kevin for the dinner @ roundtable, everyone for showing up, and to the very nice lady cop who did not arrest us for trying to burn Reno down :roll: Hope to see some more of ya tommorrow for the finish!!

10AM be sharp!

[Denis]

Dennis you have my chain, it's old and rusty, the other one was Mark's.


I am not being able to make it tomorrow, but I can swing by and try to find you around 12pm and give you your chain back. I also have Sauce's chain as well.

Mark and Gus had to split, so we didn't pull any other cars down. Forest Fire truck had a flat tire, but that's all the carnage we had.

[Reno Computer Repair]

Thanks again to everyonebody that showed up. Much bigger crowd than we got in June.
16-22 people showed up, almost 15 rigs?
I will post pics up tonight, and Justin, please PM me with you cell number.

[72 Virginians]

Cool, 10am tomorrow? Same meeting place?

[Dnmeistr]

Went to pick-n-pull today, afterwards I rolled on by around 3 and didn't see anybody at the keystone entrance, did see 3 or 4 cars that had been dragged and dropped near the road, good job to those that made it.

[phinx4x4]

Hey guys just saying thanks for all the help! glad we had a good showing of people... had a good time:thumbsup: . thanks to greg for doing majority of pulling and thanks to kevin fo pizza! :D might show up tomorrow not sure... ill call on the cb! also i have pics that i will post up later.

[Got4wd]

How many cars are left? Might be able to make it up there tomorrow.

[RARECJ8]

thanks all for a great day. we DID make a difference. After denis headed out toward hoge road, most backtracked to the copper pits and a ford ranger in the hole. That was winched out and off the hill. I went back toward home, north and to see how dewnis and the USFS group was doing. good thing. they needed a double strap to get the wreck up one last hill climb. then denis had a run away hulk that darn near passed him om the down hill run. The USFS truck had a sliced sidewall and upon placing the bottle jack under therear axle-- it was too low to the gournd, so the jack would not fit under the axle. what to do? easy, placve a rock in front of the dead tire, drive fwd and t hat forces the axle up and gives room to add the bottle jack.

in all, a great day! good thing i went looking for the lost squadron, otherwise who knows? they might still be camped up there, burning dumped deck wood for a warm fire.

post up pix!

[phinx4x4]

so how did it go today guys???:dunno: just curious as to how much more was pulled out...

[72 Virginians]

Only 4 rigs today. RHG, Connect, Scott from the USFS, and me. Pulled down a truck cab and looked at a few others. There's still a fire danger to get the 4 we found today. We're gonna need a Fool-size for at least 2. Maybe wait after the next good rain to get those off. I'll post pics and vids later tonight.

[Connect]

Yea today was more of a game plan for when it rains, the 4 we didn't get were due to extreme fire danger and lack of big rigs (2 xj's, TJ, and the forest service truck)

So we kinda cleared some brush and picked up trash, messed around a little bit at the peak :P

[Denis]

Do you guys have a blue Mercury Capri mapped? It's on the road somewhere between Hoge Rd and Raleigh Heights.

[Connect]

I don't think so, there was word of a burnt out honda down in that area though. Perhaps they are one in the same?

Once again it was another fun day with Reno4x4. I was glad to see everyone jump in to rig chains and help pick up the trial of “bread crumbs” left behind every car we drug. Phinx completely filled his truck on the last run, from the pieces and parts falling off the car and two halves of a pickup truck. I thought the cab that Mike was dragging was going to be completely gone by the time we got to the bottom of the hill. A big chunk of the frame that the chain was attached to broke off, and then doors and body parts started falling off. We kept watching the dash getting closer to falling out with each and every rock. I have to admit it was a little exciting when the Ford Ranger that we pulled out of the mine decided flip up and almost roll down the hill into that back of my truck. When saw that thing in the mirror flip up and start coming down into me, :eek: my first thought was “That’s gonna leave a big dent!” No problem, got it stopped before it came all the way over, unhooked, got the Big Ford out of the way and several of us pushed it over again.

And thanks to Kevin for that little extra pull to get me over the top of the hill with that last car. It’s the usual story “If I’d hit it just a little sooner and a little harder.”

As usual I’m glad to have met all of you that I didn’t know. We had a great time and was glad to be of help. The Big Ford will be ready for the next time.

Did anyone's chains make it though the day with both hooks still attached?

Do you guys have a blue Mercury Capri mapped? It's on the road somewhere between Hoge Rd and Raleigh Heights.

Are you talking about the one off the road about 50 yards in a dry river bed? (Not exactly a river bed but the car is filled with run-off debris)

[Reno Computer Repair]

Thanks again to EVERYONE for making this cleanup take-off!!!

Are you talking about the one off the road about 50 yards in a dry river bed? (Not exactly a river bed but the car is filled with run-off debris)

No, it's right on the side of the road. Easy pull and drag down to the Hoge Rd. access.

details please on the cop saturday? what was the issue? And how did the big titan break a front diff?

[RUNITOVER]

details please on the cop saturday? what was the issue? And how did the big titan break a front diff?
mb

haha... the cop was called b/c some body called them about the noise from draging the cars, and the titan....:( he just put it in reverse while on a steep down hill and it just poped, no gas or weight on the line he was pulling.... its under warranty tho so he is gonna be alright!!! but right after it snapped the top if the case off me and connect and phinix4x4 all stuck our heads under it:nono: and then it rolled like an inch down the hill:eek: yeah we all shat our pants

is that titan a member? if so i want some pics of his rig that thing looked sweet!!!

[4x Adventurer]

OH Ya, the cop... Someone call the Reno PD because of the noise! The cop just wanted to know what we were doing dragging cars around in a "No Motorized" area. She wasn't unreasonable, just wanted to hear that we had proper approval. She wanted to hear it from Scott but we couldn't raise him on the radio. She did eventually take mine and Kevin’s word that we had proper approval.

As for Bill's Diff; after we pulled the ranger out of the mine I headed down that first hill. The Ranger started to flip up and over. (See Kevin’s pics) I stopped and got unhooked and out of the way. We hooked a safety line to it and Bill's truck. When Bill tried to back up the hill to take the slack out of the rope, he never even moved! POP, Dead silence, and only the sound of gear lube spilling onto the rocks. :eek: It walked the pinion up the ring gear and out of the top of the housing. I don't know exactly what front end those trucks have but it looks like a High pinion 44 with an aluminum case. (Cast iron good, aluminum Bad!)

[RARECJ8]

So, we're doing some good and some do-gooder tries to rat us out. Hopefully Scott on sunday got the details and cleared that up. This also shows that operation in the no-motorized area will draw attention, so run Zukes at ur peril. Too bad about the front diff-- i see that a lot when someone pulls a rig outt of a stuck, pulling backward-- the diff guts just ain;t set up to be strong in reverse. With no load, then maybe it just came apart after an earlier job?

One way to reduce a car passing you on the downhill, is to strap it to a trailing rig so it cannot get away.

great pix and wish i had made it yesterday, but honeydo's call!

[Reno Computer Repair]

The RPD lady was nice. People had called in about "suspicious vehicles", then she saw Greg dragging the car through the non-motorized area. We got her up to speed after I told her how beautifull her eyes were:thumbsup:

She did however mention how there was NO WHERE to four wheel anymore...:scratch: :scratch: :scratch:
We know the secret, she will have to find out......:rolleyes:

Justin, when are you going to post the videos from Sunday? I really want to see how much air Mike & you got on that hill!

Thanks to all, had a great time on Saturday.
That was me in the Gold 96 ZJ and Tahoe ball cap.
Spent most of the time scatching my ass and trying to stay out of the way, but did manage to help pick up the parts as they fell off being dragged down the hill.
Next time I'll be better prepared with some towing chains.
Thanks for the pizza and a good time, and thanks to Matt (Phinx4x4) for the invite.

I heard from MB that nine cars were dragged and piled up.

Would someone please make a list of attendees, the date, and hours (manhours) spent doing this?

Send the information to Larry Anderson, OHV Manager, Carson Ranger District at lcanderson@fs.fed.us.

Forest Service needs to know the 4 wheelers are keeping Peavine clean.
