condensed version of CWD

ok, fergit the condensed version bullshit, there is a whole lotta info there

 

I never heard of it, i don't hunt or eat deer.

 

Keep this in mind. Certain counties will restrict the type of firearm you can use. Eastern shore for example. It's all flat so most counties if not all will be shotgun. Green Ridge (which I loved hunting), and the surrounding counties will be rifle because of the mountains. There are trade offs though. Mountains are harder on you in every respect. At the same time, mountain deer are using muscles more to get around so they have way less fat and are leaner in general. Yes, there are some monster deer up in the mountains but they are not monsters by luck. Now, on the other hand, eastern shore deer can graze on corn and soy like cattle and they get big and fat quick.

If you join a club and especially if they hunt anywhere on the eastern shore, make sure they lease the property year round. Then you can take advantage of goose, duck, dove and even some fishing if there is water nearby. Don't waste your money on a club that just hunts deer. We have a lot but not enough for that cost. Give Dave your money and get a out of state permit, or use his, wink wink. Since you are pretty centrally located in Glen Burnie you could hunt Cecil County. They have some great hunting up there. That's about an hour and a half away from you. Green Ridge is gonna be a couple or more hours. Back in the day, not sure if they still do it, but they used to have a lottery for places like Loch Raven. Also, you might want to consider bow hunting too. It will extend your season and it is a great way to scout for winter firearm deer.

I wish you luck but mostly safety. There are lot of idiots out in them thar woods.

 

Does anyone in here drive a cement pro, ARE overland shell, tan RTT cover and roof racks? Saw it in the parking lot at work. Was rubber necking hard.

 

@Mobtown Offroad Im looking at getting new Uca’s so I can get and hopefully keep a decent alignment ,how are the JBA’s working for you

 

Neither my 4runner or taco have aftermarket uca's and I have basically the same lift as you and both of mine drive straight, no pulling or abnormal tire wear. And my runner has been lifted and its been my dd for 5 years now, never a alignment issue with either.

 

True ,but I’m also running 285s now .And every time I hit the trail I seem to Knock it out and no place has every said any thing was worn as far as adjustment parts

 

How do your cam tabs look?

 

Well last time I was under it nothing stood out to me about them other then a nice coat of dirt and crud

 

I’ll be dropping the skids in a couple of weeks to do oil change I look then

 

It's not super obvious, so you may not have noticed. The two tabs that "hug" the alignment cams could be bent flat, which would cause it to lose alignment so easily. Although I'm sure a tech would have mentioned this after getting an alignment.

 

I haven't stepped up to 285's yet, i'm running 265/75's on 2 of my trucks. Did you notice a big difference in MPG's & power when you upgraded to the 285's. I've been thinking of jumping up to 285's for my runner but i'm logging like 250-300 miles a week of mountanious highway driving so i'm scared that i'll take a big hit on my mpg's & power.

 

The good thing is cam tabs are an easy fix, you just weld on the reinforcement plates and it's good as new

 

If I get the chance I’ll look this weekend,thanks

 

I’ve never gotten more then 220 per tank with the 265s so didn’t care to much about a few miles less per tank ..Don’t forget I have the limited with the 4:30 gearing and my daily commute is less then 10 miles 1 way
