Great write up. Glad you got to spend time with your son.

With that tag in his pocket I'm pretty sure that is not why he is back. You can only miss so many classes. Poon is everywhere,

I would increase the crimp on them and load the bullet a few thousands deeper.

All around good guy. Adam did one for me in 2022.

Drop the tire pressure. I know it's a PIA but it will make a big difference especially if you put couple a hundred pounds in the bed. I drove a 78 Sierra 2500 for 13 years. I only put about 2500 miles a year on it as it was my hunting rig. Biggest issue with smaller trucks is space to store stuff like a portable air compressor. Bilstens can take a beating but shocks like Monroe will give a smoother ride and absorb the smaller bumps transferring less to the springs. After I bought it (with 144K on the clock) I put a 4" lift in it and added three leafs to the rear. It rode a bit rough so I pulled the after market steel bumper off the rear and poured it with concrete and welded angle iron to keep it in place after it setup. That helped a lot.

Sounds like the Rut is doing pretty good too bad you can stay at it. Problem with the Rut getting more intense is the chance of bulls getting broken and bugles drawing in competition from other hunters. Good Luck, hope he gets a big one.

Bilsteins are great. I put them on my F250 at about 80K and replaced them at 200K with FOX 2.0 and they were still plenty stiff and did not leak.

Didn't you measure it before loading it for the first time?

You back in AZ Jerry?

Sweet Rig Casey.

That's a beauty. Congratulations.

Every year since I moved here in 1976 it is the same/different. Quiet in one area, going crazy in another. Predictability Unpredictable and it changes day to day. It's akin to trying to guess when Coues will be in the Rut.

They will raid Cactus Wren nests in cholla.

I signed up our cranky receptionist in Tucson for a slew of junk mail in her name. It went on for almost a year before I fessed up. When I was there when she would leave the desk and walk around to gossip I would call the main number and watch her scurry back to answer the phone then hang up when she picked it up. I'd wait for her to wander off and do it again.

Can't go wrong with that. I managed to get the same one when they had a clearence a long time ago for $153, shipped.

Says $60

3" #4 ruins their day.

Wild peaks AT.

I have 326K on my F-250 I bought new in 2000. I have had TOYO, quiet wear well. NITTO, more sticky than the TOYO but wore better. Have Wildpeaks for the last 4-5 years I bought as a set with rims from an Airmen who was stationed in Tucson and they are by far my favorite. Very quiet and are wearing better that anything I have run to date including Yokohama and BFG. I took them to Discount and they balanced them and put them on my truck and for $25 a wheel gave me lifetime balance and road hazard. I have used the same Discount on Dobson and Main for 30 years. I had one tire replaced last year under warranty. I rotate them every 5K. I put a set of Coopers on my sons 2500 Got My Chevy (GMC) and he had no issues.

I guess it was take your child to work day.

IN AZ the gas motor can stay on the boat for electric only State Owned lakes. I' don't know about REZ Lakes.

They are both riddled with career politicians hellbent on lining their own pockets. The mudslinging idiocy is irrelevant. Trying to talk sense into Trump is like trying to wash a cat with it's tail on fire. He doesn't get it. Every time he goes off on an ADHD name calling tangent he repulses the voters that are on the fence which the party desperately needs. Latest polls have him loosing almost all of the swing states. Voters can sort through the truth on their own and want to hear solutions,,,,,,,,,,, not bluster. He doesn't have a plan and neither does the book writer. If he does, he needs to concentrate on that. Nobody cares about either of their opinions on the opponents.

I remember when the 12 EL's came out. They were "all the rage" and people were dumping the SLC 15's. 15's are still the king.
