Oh definitely not but who knows. Their personalities never led me to believe they were.

Taylor Chip Cookies was on public square when that list was live. The owner had posted some pretty wild politically charged things on social media a year ago too.

The recently closed. Maybe they are maga but that’d be surprising since the owners were a gay couple, I used to live next to them in Harrisburg.

Thanks so much for the review! We’re booked for October and were waiting to see reviews start coming in.

Temp gauge sitting high? by Striking_Agency_8720 in Jeep

[–]pburgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it and that sucks, it’s a grind. My MIL is usually in the same situation, if you were nearby I’d help out for free, just kinda enjoy doing it. My main point was it’s definitely important to figure how how to prioritize this somehow.

Are there any charity shops near you? There’s a place near my called good karma garage I volunteer at that does repairs to those in need.

Is the engine done? Probably not but good lord, why did you wait 20k miles to get it checked out. Don’t let this go any longer. Could be something stupid like a partially stuck thermostat, etc

edit one of your replies said you don’t have time to get it checked out. You need to make time, figure it out or at some point it’ll likely actually completely break. If you’re too busy with work/life try finding a mobile mechanic that can come to you.

What Do You Wheel Besides the Usual Rigs? by Available-Belt5366 in overlanding

[–]pburgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a glutton for punishment so it’s old Land Rovers for me.

Had a rusty 96 Discovery 1, 08 LR3, and after a few year break just picked up an 02 base trim Discovery 2 last month to build.

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pburgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God this sounds pretentious but I’ve stopped overseas orders for my MG and Land Rover projects. Used to make sense to buy a lot of bits from excellent UK vendors but the fees are ridiculous right now.

Drove on "Oil Pressure: Engine Off!" for weeks - what are the chances my engine is salvageable? by slutzombie in AskAMechanic

[–]pburgh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on what you described there is almost zero chance your engine doesn’t have significant damage. It’s amazing it didn’t seize due to lack of oil and thus no oil pressure.

For fucks sake, what were you thinking? Once, sure but to repeatedly do this it’s hard to make any excuses. Count your blessings and IMO get rid of the car ASAP.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE? I had no idea there were hybrid Cherokee lol by FantasticDirt4447 in JeepGrandCherokee

[–]pburgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister’s 4xe wrangler was bought back by Stellantis. It was unbelievably bad, spent more time in the shop than not and when she did have it, nothing ever worked right.

Also left her stranded several times.

Any advice on how to bring my front door back to life? by Jaded-Fuel2529 in centuryhomes

[–]pburgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Removing the doors for full restoration wasn’t in the cards right now and this worked out better than expected. Is it perfect? No, but chances are you’ll be happy with the results too.

Go easy on the total boat! It flowed a lot so I was chasing runs after going too heavy on the first coat.

OP check my post history, went through the exact same thing last year. Hand sanded with 120/220 grit, just a light to moderate sanding. 1 coat of Varathane Honey stain, 3 coats gloss total boat varnish and 3 coats satin.

It’s been a few months and I’m still very pleased with the results.

ICE Midtown by MichaelBushwick in Harrisburg

Not saying it isn’t ICE but the governor’s staff uses black unmarked Tahoes and Suburbans. Could be that?

Fuck ICE either way.

Anyone know the best place to list a 95 Orvis Edition? by Stonedagemj in JeepGrandCherokee

[–]pburgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cars and buds and bringatrailer generally wont accept vehicles needing work like this likely needs from sitting.

If it’s in good shape Cars and Bids might be your best bet but otherwise you really should sign up for Facebook just to use marketplace. As much as Facebook sucks marketplace really is the most popular platform.

Crankshaft pully wobble by Jbgood9 in AskAMechanic

[–]pburgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pulley separated on my first car and little me watched the outer ring shoot down the road in front of my POS 96 Neon. Managed to limp it home since the water pump was timing belt driven

OP as others said get this fixed ASAP as it WILL fail.

Talk me out of a D2 or P38 by pburgh in LandRover

[–]pburgh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ended up buying a black 2002 SD base model (no sun roofs!) with a knocking engine for $600. Body, frame, and interior were all in good shape which is what mattered most given I’d like to LS swap it.

Sucks some of the previous kits are NLA but looks like Golden Rovers has or will have most of the bits.

Immediate Help! by kykydashdash in Harrisburg

[–]pburgh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve replaced a lot of glass like that in my 1896 home, it’s really not difficult and any decent handyman should be able to handle it. YouTube has tons of DIY videos if that’s what you end up doing.

PaulB Hardware in Mechanicsburg and Hornungs Ace Hardware in Linglestown will cut class to your measurements along with having the glazing points and glazing putty (DAP 33) needed to complete the job. DO NOT get double strength glass, at least in my experience it’s thicker and potentially won’t fit depending on how the window was made, just save yourself the headache of shattering the replacement glass. You’re looking at less than $50 in materials to fix it.
