PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

That's awesome! I can't tell you how many "junk" pressure washer, lawn mowers, Snow blowers, leaf blowers, String trimers that I've bought for cheap that needed a simple fix. Some people just give up on things too easily and buy new ones. Great that it went to a good home

 

Better than seeing it go to the scrapyard; It's not easy to make a 16-year old happy, but I sure did just that today!

 

This picture was taken in a park in Pittsburgh, that is a massive freakin snake! Apparently the snake was not caught but identified by officials as a black rat snake, guess it ate a helluva lot of rats over the years!

 

Can you imagine walking thru the park and seeing that thing in the tree?

 

Murray caught 2 more moles today, she is at 9 total rodents for the week!

 

Stupid rain!

 

Agreed! Got kinda cold again too, my furnace had been off the past 4 or 5 days but fired up again today.

 

I have a 24" Troy Bilt two stage that I bought from Lowe's in the fall on a pre-season sale. It was about $450. Nothing fancy, no headlight or fancy chute control. It is four or five years old at this point and have not had any problems.

It handles everything except the really heavy and wet slush at the end of the driveway after the plows come through and block the driveway.

I'm in the State College, PA area, and our winters vary. I don't think I used it at all last winter, and then used it a lot this winter.

My driveway can fit four cars parked two by two, and we have a decent amount of sidewalk so it is nice to have the snowblower. Like someone mentioned above, better to have it and not need...

 

And don’t say Mobtown Off-Road because while I like their stuff I think it’s a bit overkill for my 5-lugger; My truck was hit in a parking lot last September and the other party tried to bribe me to NOT contact their insurance company with $100 in cash. It ended up being $450 so I’m glad that I stuck to my guns and contacted their insurance.

My truck has been hit twice since then, and the included pictures show the damage from the latest incident...

 

I have a feeling the people involved in the September incident would have fled if (A) I hadn’t seen them, and (B) there weren’t dozens of witnesses. Obviously there is no honor among motorists anymore, so the best option is to get a bumper that can survive hit and runs with no damage while causing damage to the other vehicle at the same time!

 

That’s a job for super glue.

 

Yes, but I’m a perfectionist and OCD; It’ll look like shit...

 

OP says that's just the latest damage, but others have hit his bumper. I can provide no help on metal bumpers, all i've seen are off-road beefiness.

 

I just need a simple bumper with foglight holes; No winch or grille guard

 

1984 Mustang...

Note the badging; Is this a turbo 4-banger...?

Yeah that must be a 2.3 Turbo, interesting that it has GT Badging as l would have thought V8 only.

 

So did I, though I vaguely seeing a 1979ish Cobra with a 4-cylinder...

 

In 1984 the SVO began and ran through 1986, that had the 2.3 Turbo and was all dressed up with body kit, rear discs, 5 lug wheels, handling package etc... l don't recall it being offered in a convertible though so maybe the GT package allowed for the turbo out of the SVO.

 

Well, it is presently 46 degrees, and one of my neighbors has their central A/C on...

 

That's nuts!
