Pot holes suck

[TheRoadVirus]

I'm gonna miss my ground clearance when I lower it mildly. I've driven over drive-through curbs because I've waited so long.

Well took a bar to everything up front solid .As I mentioned in the leak post . Good for me. The brake pad r half . I'll change when do the coils and see it take care of the grab . At least I dont have to do ball jionts (they looked good. )

Just must have hit 30 to many pot holes

Was going to do brakes.(coils didn't comein any way. ) I couldn't turn rotors as my cousin went on vacation. So put on hold. The rad arm Bush look worn little I may just pull coils and and yank arms off to sand blast /paint.

Anyone want to bet the center bolt on coil/rad arm breaks?? Its a good sized bolt I'll spray it couple times and see. May get lucky .

That nut is SUCH a bear to get off. What's the torque spec anyway, like 600 lb-ft?

I wouldn't touch that thing without the biggest impact gun I could find.

How many Arkansas DOT (department of transportation) workers does it take to fill in a pot hole?

We don't know...it has never been done.

However, what we do know is...that it takes at least 5 of them to stand there and tell the guy leaning on the shovel that he is doing it wrong.





Seriously, I put the tires on the explorer before the F-100 supernats in 2006 (June maybe?). The front end was aligned at the same time. The edges of the front tires are just now starting to wear a little. They need to be rotated and have the front end checked again...I guess.

Hey Lost- is this year as bad for the roads in PA as here in Maine? I was out on some smaller secondary roads last night, and they're all heaved worse than I've ever seen.

Soil mechanics professor was talking about it the other week- worst he's seen, too. Guess the freeze/thaw conditions were just about the worst they could be this year...

the city of springfield said a few weeks ago on the news that they're working as fast as they can to repair pot holes. their goal is to have every reported one fixed in 24 hours. ...i laughed, but also haven't seen any pot holes to call about. - very impressed

There r some roads that were paved and have been decent for years that look like dirt roads now. Mud and all broken up.

Here they just bust up good parts to match bad. Or so it seems.
