    Needing to raise money and will be selling most everything.

    Life is to short fellas.........if all I lost from this was a few hundred bucks then what I gained from it far exceeds the money lost. I donated two engines and raffled them off with all the proceeds going to vic. Id never ask for that money back. I will sleep well tonight knowing I did the...

    Ford Diesel F350 Super Duty truck

    Our previous truck was a 2007 F350 Lariat Dually diesel. It was good until 70K when it needed some major engine work. Was never the same after that and ditched it. Not to scare you, but id be looking at the Duramax's if I was going back to diesel.

    Most of Boston in lockdown

    Hoppy's "WTF" Build/Log

No dought about it there is a flat side now and im sure if I measured the width of the belt its not what it was.

    Hoppy's "WTF" Build/Log

    Harley....I see they used a black glue. Im starting to think I have the wrong tire/rim combo. Im pretty sure when they said "beadlock" they mean actuall beadlock rims. Might have to get me some differant tires as finding beadlock rims in a 4on4 pattern I dont believe is an option.

    No negative feedback on the Bay for deadbeats?

    As far as I know this is the way its always been. ITs the #1 reason why I dont sell there anymore. Dead beat buyers and the inability to leave them my thoughts. Yet as a "buyer" they can say whatever they may please. Its BS. I think im going to start a patition.:laugh:
