    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.

    But the short version is that if you act the way on Mud the way people act on Surly, you will get banned.

    everything
  4. BHMCruiser
    I will figure it out. Just need to fool around with it.
  5. BHMCruiser
    Yes. I have been banned from Mud like ten times

    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.

    TRAC is the skid control. The button to turn it off is in the instrument panel to the left of the steering column.

    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

    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.

    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.

    that movie sooks

    This was all in about the last four years or so. The 80 had 225k on it (it was my second 80 series after the 1994 I got new and sold with 235k on it so I could buy the 1997) and the idea of putting in a new engine (even a rebuild) plus everything else I would have needed to do to justify putting that much into a used truck was just not palatable. I miss it every day.

    2013 Tundra Crewmax for about a year and then 2014 200 series. The Tundra was too big and impractical and the 4WD SUCKED compared to what I was used to.

    What did you get and do you like them? I need to buy new meats and I want something more aggressive but not crazy.

    Sorry pal. I had a 40th Anniversary FZJ80, OME lift, ARB bullbar with winch, locking diffs, BFG MTs. It looked like a ARB or Slee catalog. Anyway, the engine blew the HG mid summer going up a long hill and by the time I knew it was hot, had cracked the block. I loved that truck, but I had to move on. It's like losing a beloved dog. You have to get a puppy. Buy the FJ Cruiser. If you don't like it you can sell it for close to what you paid (or maybe even more).

    I did not read any of this thread, but Thor: Ragnarok is the only good Marvel movie. And it is excellent.

    "Bespoke" is the new code word for "made to measure." It's not custom. It's modified "off the rack." But it is not traditional bespoke tailoring.
  19. BHMCruiser
    It's totaled. You should start looking for a used 4Runner. It's got over 4k in body damage. It will need a new radiator, new engine, new mounts, and the frame is bent/broken and may not even be repairable. Good luck with your neck.
  20. BHMCruiser
    There's lots of reasons, or they would have done that.

    That's not the problem. Some of the Remington designs are timeless. The 870 is arguably America's greatest shotgun, and the popularity of the 700 speaks for itself. The problem is that when your goal is to cut costs and squeeze profit out of the company and move on, and not to make the best guns you can in a certain price range, you end up making terrible products. Just pick up a modern 870 and compare it to the entry level Express from 15 years ago. Night and day difference. The new ones have problems.

    the problem is that it is virtually impossible to modernize Colt. They have 150 year old machines in 150 year old buildings. Same thing that happened with Remington. It's one thing to buy the name and make everything on CNC machines in Texas. It's another to deal with the unions, the old equipment, the cramped facilities, the hostility of the Connecticut government, etc.
  23. BHMCruiser
    Colt is an albatross. I wish them luck.
  24. BHMCruiser
    Agreed
  25. BHMCruiser
    Well that’s not true. It was a problem tweet.
