"Bored is what the unimaginative do to themselves."

 

When you have a broken poo pump, you're gonna have a shitty day.

 

NNNOOOOoooooo!

We had a septic system breakdown a few years ago, about two weeks before Christmas. Dug up the front yard to get at the mess. All of our arriving holiday guests were treated to the fun of walking on Lowe's carpet scraps over our yard while passing several piles of dirt. Whee.

 

Oh, this was at work. It's literally a hydraulic ramveyor that pumps poop from the basement to the pits through a 16" pipe.

 

Cut some logs this afternoon by myself until I called my buddy down the street for some help. Logs were probably 30” wide and 5 foot long. I cut them roughly 18” and was still f’n heavy!! Buddy brought splitter and both of us went home with a load full time for beer and football... lower back feeling sore. Suppose to be a do nothing but get ready for the work week kinda day....
Wifey says I’m taking a nap after lunch and since it was so nice outside and I have so much ash to cut up “found free” wood on Craigslist and have been working at it here and there.... it’s half way between brother joes and my place and we usually meet up and knock some out together. Well he played dad today with his kids and that’s why I called my buddy. All worked out

 

Ash trees for the taking

 

Hes gotten very comfortable in his new house.

 

So my driverside SPC upper balljoint is worn out already, I bought them and installed them in June of 2019. Only 18k street driven miles on them. I bought the UPC's from ORW. What is the warranty on them?

 

Such a shame. We have 3 of them in our yard, threatening the house and other stuff. Damn blue bugs.

 

That’s why this guy has them taken down... same predicament you’re in... he had 5 of these.... now soon to be all firewood... what a chore it is I’ll tell you that

 

I know a tree service company that’s owned by a mom and pop and 2 teenagers learning the ropes if you’re in the area and are interested

 

And that goes for anyone in the Lehigh valley that needs estimates on tree work... feel free to pm me and I’ll set you up

 

Id sell them and get some real control arms. Those SPCs are total junk, like if HF made UCAs. Sure they offer a great warranty because they know their product sucks lol

 

?? I've got 10 years and at least 80k miles on mine, just replaced UBJs last year, as one was a little loose, probably from Rausch. The new ones have zerks. Much less of a PITA than the uniballs.

 

company seems to be hit or miss. I’ve heard a few (very few) cases like yours which have good reviews but more than not are negative about premature wear on the bushings or ball joints. It seems their QA department could use some help.

 

I bought mine used from Steve cant remember his tw tag name. In the jersey thread. I've changed the bushings out one time since I've had them

 

True, they are on the list to upgrade, being that they are a tube and casting weldment style instead of a forging, but they work fine for now. I do run pizza cutters and about 3 degrees of caster, so that me be a factor as well. Definitely was a good bang for my buck.

 

Does anyone recommend any good shops across PA for a re-gear job? Preferably in northeast PA, but I’m willing to travel.

 

You saying anyone can take these?

 

EMS off-road will take care of you. If you want some place closer but probably pricier check out main line overland. When the name overland in the title you can bet your ass it’s overpriced
