Well after what appears to be an unfortunate turbo failure taking out my motor, I'm looking for a Ford 6.7 engine and 2015+ turbo if anyone knows of one personally. I'm all over marketplace myself so I don't need those links, but tell me about the deal your buddies neighbor has that's not posted for sale.

Well now, that sucks. You are not have good luck with tow rigs...
To add onto this...The trans just went out on my plow truck this weekend while moving. I am now truck-less...Less than ideal moving situation.

I had a bed full of scap loaded up too, so I borrowed a truck yesterday to make a trip with my new "dump trailer" to empty it...

Finally got everything moved from my old house to new. I'm now a resident in Cedar Springs, got a little over 5.5 acres with a 1,750 sqft heated and cooled barn to go with the house.

Sounds like the first project in the barn is going to be a motor swap in my Powerstroke. I found a 139k mile motor for $7k plus tax and core, and I'm probably going to put a No Limit Fabrication turbo on while I'm in there since the 2011-12 Powerstroke's have ceramic bearings in the turbo that are prone to failure.
 
^^^^ It will probably be sold before you see this, but Momber sales llc just listed a 2015 6.7 4x4 with 250k on it for 9k. complete truck....

Anyone around here a dealer for No Limit Fabrication or River City Diesel? I need one of their CPX pumps for my new motor. I've got a Dieselr dealer account but they only carry the No Limit turbos. With the bigger turbo I need bigger fuel.

Vehicle update...Took the RZR for a rip this weekend to verify it still parties; everything was good to go. I still need to hardwire the power cords for my Milwaukee heated vests, both other than that we were comfy. Rajski is picking up my Powerstroke tomorrow I believe to do the motor swap and install all the go fast parts. After our "pregger kegger" this weekend, I have to do a trans in my plow truck.

Biggest RZR projects are installing a bunch of lights and parts I have laying around that just haven't made it onto the list yet. I also need to convert my radio over to VHF from UHF, we're joining Northshore next year and will be operating on their comms. No crazy updates.

Anyone know of any shops in West Michigan that can quickly machine the center bores of a set of wheels? I bought wheels and snow tires for my wife's ST on marketplace, but they have the wrong diameter center bore.
 
I vote you use spacers on the lug nuts to set the wheel far enough away from the wheel hub that you can hit it with a carbide bit while spinning it till she slides right on.

I've walked into JJ Engineering and Machine on 68th in GR and dropped of random projects a couple times, they happily took them on and turned them around in a week or two. Cost was good too.

Anyone planning on going to Reject Run this year? I might make a day trip up with my RZR just to tool around, as long as the roads aren't complete shit. Without an enclosed I'm not dragging it thru salty slush.

I've got a pile of Dirty Life race wheels for sale. Varying conditions, 8x6.5. Black with yellow rock rings, dual valve stems for running liners. You can just plug the second valve stem hole for normal use. They're at the shop right now up in the Soo but I can have down here to Cedar Springs in about a week.

I might also have some used 37" Mickeys for sale.
