Keystone State Thread

Are those still a custom job?

 

yes

 

If I knew then what I know now I would not have installed one.

 

Whys that?

 

Realistically, how often will you drive through water deep enough to require one?
- I have only "needed" this mod two or three times max...
- Every fucking person on the planet asks you what the fuck it is for. It gets old real quick.
- If you want to get rid of it find another whole fender and bondo the a-pillar...
- IMO too much aggravation for the ROI.

 

I use mine a lot but given everytime I go through a puddle at rausch its over my hood .... its an expensive reversal process if you go to get rid of it

 

Hmm oh well already ordered, I'm still excited

 

I've spent so much time looking through the other sections of the forum I never realized there was a regional section.... Now I do so I figure I should say hey from Red Lion which is just south of York.

I was looking at thread on here the other day that had pics from what looks to be the same area of PA I have a cabin in as we'll....which is kind of near Loch Have.... Homer I believe you had replied saying it was near there. It was a picture of an old railroad tunnel. Nearest actual town is Orviston...which we drive thru very quickly as to not make eye contact with the locals. Hahaha

Dropping my '11 DCSB OR off tomorrow to have the Billies put in he front and set to 1.75 then Tuesday it goes to the dealer for the rear TSB. Can't wait. Then some new shoes(probably Duratracs)

 

Yup camp is up on the mountain (watch for Beech Creek meet threads)

 

Easy what you say about Orviston... I have family there. Where's your camp? I'm pretty familiar with the area

 

Hey Ant it'll be here next friday or before so is there a date between the 20-26th that you want to do it? Boyd said he would help out too if he has time.

 

Sorry, didn't mean to offend with the Orviston comment. It's wild that there is a town located where it is. I know Liberty is right down the road but the first time I drove down DeHaas Rd from our camp and saw Orviston all alone in the valley there was pretty cool. I looked it up and read where it was originally built as a brick factory town. Amazing that it is still there...a lot of small factory towns were eventually disregarded and turned to ruins.

Camp is up DeHaas Rd in "Bear Creek" area(there are about 40 camps up in that area).

How do you feel about the fracking going on in the area?

 

*snicker

 

Paybacks are hell you two... I'll get even.

I don't know where bear creek is exactly but I'm pretty sure I know what you mean by all the camps. I was just out there the Saturday after Christmas. I've spent a lot of time on that hill. And you didn't offend me in any way. Orviston and Monument are both brickyard towns. All of my grandparents on my dads side lived in Orviston all of their lives. My great grandmother passed away about 8 years ago at 96 years of age. There's a lot of history in that area surprisingly.

As for the gas deal, there's nothing we can do about it. Has its pros and cons like everything. Yeah there are a lot of people from the area that work for gas companies or some company associated with it, but they're tearin up a lot of good state game land. Some of it is actually beneficial to me hunting. New roads and trails through the woods making areas more accessible.

 

I love it up there.







One of the times I "needed" the 2nd skewp...

 

I have pictures from standing in that exact spot where you crossed. I am trying to load them to Flickr now but work internet doesn't like Flickr so it's bein an ass. I have pics of the tunnel too...when the graffitti on it was fresher. haha

I love it up there too. Me, my brother and nephews are going up in two weeks to hunt grouse. And drink....and shoot guns.

 

Keep me posted when you'll be up. I'll try to get ya an ice/snow report. Right now you could skate down the roads. I had to drag a 1500 silverado out of our camp lastnight

 

Forgot to ask in my last reply....a few years ago....actually probably close to ten years ago my brothers and I were up there(in a different area than the tunnel) and we were parked and out walking around and out of nowhere comes 4 or 5 trucks coming up out of the creek.....all loaded for some serious camping. They stopped and we were talking to them...said they do it every year...they load up and take a week and start near Virginia I believe. If I recall 4 of them were in Toys and one was a Ford or Chevy. A few of the guys were well on there way to a serious hangover ...he was carrying a half gallon of Captain.

Didn't happen to be you did it??

 

That'd be great!! We never really know what to expect. Hopefully I will have new tires by then. My Rugged Fails have 30K on them. I was going to save about $150 and go with General Grabber AT2s instead of Duratracs but when I think about going to camp and the snow/ice I think I should fork it over for the Duratracs.

We're coming up Friday the 25th. I'll PM you before then.
