Keystone State Thread

Ty seb… hope all is well

 

I drive the section of 83 that you're talking about quite frequently. I approach it differently depending if I'm in my Tacoma or the wife's Legacy. In the Legacy its quite zoomy to fit in with the rest of the crowd but to do that in the Tacoma just takes way to much gas and I can hear the dollars blowing out the exhaust. So I take it a bit easier and only do 70. Except for the 3 lane hills, where I use that beautiful 4L 6cylinder to pass all of the little Econo-boxes.

 

How did it go??

 

I was on 81 late last week pulling my little square drop. Traffic slowed to 45 in a 55 bc of traffic merging, ok its rush hour that's understandable. Woman in front of me stops, STOPS dead, on the highway to be nice and let 3 cars merge that were at the end of the on ramp! WTF?!?! Tractor trailer is getting larger and larger in my mirrors behind me. Thought my trailer was going to be turned into splinters. It wasn't but I'm I almost had to clean my shorts. What is wrong with people? How can they not understand that STOPPING on the highway is not appropriate?

 

Hey Ya'll,
Updated my thread on Mid-Atlantic state parks. Went to Colonel Denning last weekend and had a great weekend. First post which has links to each write-up can be found here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...te-parks-and-forests-campsite-reviews.629896/

 

Truly appreciate what you’ve put together in that thread.
Great work!

 

interested in you ECGS experience, was thinking about doing the same in the next couple months. Feel free to PM rather than junk this place up

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!

Cut the grass and trimmed down the new pool solar cover yesterday. Mission accomplished.

Supposed to have light rain most of the day today.

Be safe!!

 

my experience was mixed. Took two days to install gears and locker up front. That wasn't too bad. It was delayed for a few hours because they were fighting rust. They don't work in the northeast. The final bill was about $1000 over my quote which is where my rub is, can't really say no when your 10 hours away and your shit is in pieces. Other than that it was quick for what they had to do, plan ahead as there isn't anything to do in the area without a vehicle.

 

Good morning PA TW

 

Good morning everyone. I need someone to look over my front suspension and help me figure out what's going on. I've replaced just about everything with OEM parts and it feels like my shocks are springs are not working like they should. Any suggestions on a place that might be able to help me out? The closer to Philly the better. Thanks

Chris

 

Bummer on extra cost, not a spare change by any means.

How does the truck drive now?

 

Morning folks

Got some good rain early on last night from like 9pm to almost 12am. We definitely needed it! I could tell it was a good rain, noticed some seeping in the basement. Also found where the lightning hit the other day. There's a nice brown/burnt spot in the grass where it hit. Barely 100' from the house and maybe 50' from the garage.

It's been not even a week and I want different wheels on my new truck lol. I love everything else. If you guys know of anything around Pittsburgh area, let me know.

 

This weather is screwy. Went from super dry to now we're in a flash flood watch for tomorrow. Can't make up its darned mind!

Atleast it won't be wet like the August and September of 2018. Many of basements flooded that year including the neighbor across the street. Had to go through it in swamp boots to turn off the furnace and water heater as they were under water...

 

Looking forward to making it back home to see my wife and son in PA for a week or so. Bahrain to Riyadh to Frankfurt to Newark by air, then Newark to Trenton to Meadowbrook (via West Trenton Line) via train. Should be home in about 26 hours.

 

Safe Travels!

 

It has been pretty crazy for like the last month or so. Spring and early summer, were great. But lately it's either super hot or rain.. Hopefully we don't get major flooding like that though.

 

Its been super dry around here. My grass still had some green left, but at work over the mountain in Washington County, MD everybody's yard is brown. Now with some of the recent rain storms its greened up around here. Not so much in Maryland yet...
