  1. I'm in Alabama. There's a constant trade-off between grip off-road and traction on ice. You want bad on ice, go with old school BFG MTs, like I had on my 80 in Baltimore. As long as you didn't need to turn or stop, they were awesome.
  2. nice scope
  3. Not that anybody cares but as an update on my 200 series and off-road, I spent a day in the woods working through all the different traction systems and settings. Very slick red clay mud, lots of ruts, extremely hilly roads. I have shitty street "all terrains" that I'm about to replace but haven't decided what I'm going to replace them with yet. Overall, I was very impressed. The CRAWL feature is nothing short of amazing. It bogged down once at the top of a steep hill when there was no traction to be had, but I just hit the gas and used wheel spin to make it over. It is so, so tempting to put aggressive tires on this but I know that I will regret it since 95% of the time I will be on road. So I'm thinking classic KO2's, though I don't really like them in the mud. Good compromise with acceptable road manners.
  4. Good call man. Get the camera and you're all set.
  5. Yes but you couldn't rough them up because they were his sons, then you could JO and even do a little mutual touching, but not a lot because he wasn't gay
  6. Isn't that what Jeffery Toobin said he was doing? Kettle bells?
  7. My grandfather had a 55 series and that's what I learned to drive on. Awesome beast.
  8. "research" "very concerned about exploitation and was hoping to mentor a young person" etc
  9. Is that imitation crab meat guy? "its all perfectly good we just got too much!!!!"
  10. and that's why nobody ever gets shot there
  11. Clayton Cramer, Steve Halbrook, Nicholas Johnson, have all done very good work on the racist history of gun control.
  12. There are no gun ranges in Baltimore. You are seeing gun ranges outside the city. My point is not on the extent of the burden. My point is that an effort was made to dissuade people who live inside the city from getting the license by adding the pointless "one shot" requirement. The city, obviously, is primarily black.
  13. Most gun control policies are racially-driven in some way, especially the prohibitions on carry and handguns. Modern gun control started when Reagan responded to the Black Panthers' occupation of the California state house. If you want examples, Maryland has a license to purchase a handgun. To get the license, you have to go to a range and fire one - and only one - live round. There is no proficiency requirement. You can fire it into a bucket of sand (and often that's what you do). So why do you have to do that? I'll give you a hint - how many ranges are there in Baltimore? How accessible are they by public transportation? Can you carry a firearm on public transportation? Can you get a concealed carry permit in Maryland?
  14. It goes back to 2004. I had been on Mud since I was in law school, and I was on the lcool.org distribution list before that.
  15. But the short version is that if you act the way on Mud the way people act on Surly, you will get banned.
  16. I will figure it out. Just need to fool around with it.
  17. Yes. I have been banned from Mud like ten times
  18. I have to go against conventional wisdom here and say I don't understand this hire. Gus is a fine coach, but he has demonstrated he cannot develop talent, is so-so as a recruiter, and cannot really run a program. A job like UCF is where you should hire an up-and-comer because you need some excitement to keep the thing moving forward. Sustained mediocrity is not a good look for a midmajor like this.
  19. TRAC is the skid control. The button to turn it off is in the instrument panel to the left of the steering column.
  20. No it engages in H and L. I have tried to disable it manually, but that wasn’t successful. You may be thinking of the crawl feature , which is only in L
  21. I need to figure it out some. I'm going to put some more aggressive tires on it and then go from there. Most of where I drive offroad is very hilly, very slippery red clay/mud. Few passenger vehicles handle it well, but the 80 certainly did. The "features" on the 200, like TRAC, are built for other terrain and I need to figure out how to get around their impulse to cut power to stop wheel spin, etc. Sometimes you just need the gas.
  22. I understand but I drove nothing but an 80 series for nearly 25 years. The 200 series is excellent but it's a pale, pale comparison off-road, and the thing I really liked about the my old truck was knowing that I could get anywhere I wanted. Snow/mud/rock, no problem, drive 90 MPH to get there, no problem, etc. The 200 is missing some of that.
