Keystone State Thread

I've done this every year since buying my 2013 Tacoma Baja brand new 10 years ago.

 

Got to be hard seeing them go bye bye. U raised them since they were young ....

 

It's time to replace my front hub assemblies. What brand does everyone use and how long have they lasted? My current set are from Napa and they lasted 4 years/ 35k miles. That's 35k hard miles with a combination of 3" lift, 285's, armor and 12.5k lb winch up front (steel cable) towing and hauling everyday around Pittsburgh/western Pa/Ohio Valley region. Lots of windy steep hills.

 

I used @05Taco4x4 for mine. He's a good dude and he's somewhat local. Link

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians and Othertuckystatians!!!!

 

Morning guys, been a good week for me. The buyers of our old house wanted a home inspection done before they go ahead with buying it, so we got that done last night. Went well and no surprises for them or me, pretty sure we'll be good to close on it next month. AND finally selling my old Chevy Colorado this week. 2 big headaches lately that will finally be over and done with haha.

 

Good morning Pennsylvania

 

Good morning PA. 34 degrees here. The birds are making more noise than usual.

 

Good morning all. Our new trainee will be late coming in this morning, ha had an already scheduled eye doctor appointment prior to starting here. No biggie.

 

If trainee is smart they will get a doc note to cya. Just saying...

 

Won't be an issue here. Small family owned shop with generous policies regarding time off. Previous employers I've worked for I would have agreed with you. In addition he had given us dates that he already had appointments or scheduled events so both sides knew going in what was happening.

On a brighter note, he's catching on faster than I might have expected and taking copious notes so he's WAY ahead of some folks we've hired!

 

So two contractors at work ran a man lift into a 69kv line.

Remarkably both survived without a scratch.

 

Holy crap ! They better go play the lottery. How did they not get hurt , lift must of tripped it right away ? Wow. Have you used them before ? Any pics of the lift ?

 

They never actually touched it, it jumped the gap. I've actually got it all on video but won't be posting online. It arcs 3 separate times in the same spot, which is about 6" above where the guy's hand was on the control. Basically it missed his head by about a foot. I think he caught it out of the corner of his eye and reacted just in time to not be a vaporized pile of flesh.

All 4 tires caught on fire but self extinguished when it stopped arcing. The lift safely brought them to the ground but I imagine all the electronics are fried.

The breaker did not trip. Which is good because that line runs from like Shamokin Dam to McElhattan, and powers our plant.

 

relay settings on transmission aren’t usually set to that low, the line probably barely noticed lol. Glad they are ok. If that was 12kv they’d probably be fried.

 

Jesus christ they got super lucky.

 

It gouged the line pretty good, PPL is going to have to do some repairs. Another couple of arcs and the line might have come down.

 

real question is what we’re they doing violating the MAD? Sounds like they should be fired IMO.
