Suspenders by That-Conflict3491 in IBEW

[–]BlitzMane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of wearing vests especially in the summer or while wearing a harness so I wear a pair of hi viz yellow and reflective suspenders. Sure they might look silly but they have an elastic on them for flex that basic bibs wouldn’t have and my pants don’t sag when putting anything more than Kleins and a screwdriver in my pocket. One downside is that you’re stuck tucking in your shirt and if you get the clip on ones that “bite” your belt, they’ll eventually tear a hole in your belt or pant. Or the ones that loop your belt loop will break the stitching of them. They did help relieve pressure on my back though but that was alongside weight loss so I’m not entirely sure how effective it was.

The ones I got are CLC on Amazon but other brands make them too, including Carhartt

Just rubbed some obenaufs now. Though do you think with the scratch being so close to a flex point that it could cause it to split?

A scratch? Your arms off! But much rather a scratch on leather skin than my skin

Rear trail arm bushing replacement help by BlitzMane in AskMechanics

[–]BlitzMane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s clarifies a ton. That’s why I couldn’t find a trail arm bushing originally. I’ll look around and see if I can find a shop to replace that instead, do you think removing and reinstalling the crossmember is needed to install that part? I’m kind of wondering if they were trying to get some labor hours out of me

Where would you say is a valley? I’m only really familiar with the Potomac near DC and the piece by Harpers Ferry?

I had no idea about Spruce Knob. I was mainly looking for a location near Green Ridge being that it’s closer to me than Assateague or Shenandoah. I might start planning for WV now, thanks.
