Anyone interest in a couple of 6.0 blocks? One has a good rotating assembly and might need a quote hone / scotchbrite scrub from sitting for a couple years in my garage. Garage is climate controlled, but a little bit of surface rust still popped up.

I also have a bare 6.0 block that should be sent out to a machine shop before reassembly to have surfaces checked, etc. Good starting point for a full engine build.

I guess it is probably time to change the title...Yes the jeep is gone, I parted it out last winter. I started cutting it apart to put an aluminum floor and a few other things in it and I found the factory frame tearing apart all over the place. I didn't have the time to put into building a full buggy so I opted to part the Jeep out. Zero regrets, we have had way more fun with the RZR and dirt bikes than we had had with the Jeep in years. Plus, after selling Jeep parts and buying the RZR plus a few dirt bikes I was able to put over $10k into the bank as well which was a nice bonus.

Pretty shitty option.
Check out momber sales llc on da farcebook. They sell some high mileage company trucks at what seems like great prices to me.

FYI I did end up selling the Duramax. The new owner sent me pics, it did have a broken crank. Taking a loss on the value of the truck was by far the cheapest option. Also while the transmission gave me absolutely zero issues, it sounds like it's giving the new owner issues. Which also makes me feel better about the choice to get rid of the truck.

How is the rzr working out?
I sold my maverick last year and am now considering another sxs. A lot of people downplay the rzrs saying they brake a lot, but all I know is that there are a lot of people still buying them. :unsure:

Absolutely great. Between prerunning every U4 course with it last year and trail rides we put about 1,000 miles on it then this winter we tore it down and prepped it for California. In January we put a few hundred miles on it at KOH, pre-ran the desert loop multiple times, took it up chocolate thunder, and partied all week with it. No issues yet

Picked up a toy hauler this week...Should help with the camping and riding adventures this summer! We were camping and riding last weekend out of my buddies trailer, never thought my first camping trip of the season would have been in February! Tore the dirt bike down last night for some maintenance and fork seals. Also put a few miles on my street bike, it was cold but sunny yesterday so I took advantage.
