New exhaust system. (Made it from old motorcycle pipes.) Also decided to try the 295cc head on a 350cc engine I had laying around. Runs great, way more compression, and it snaps my 1,500lb buggy up to full speed pretty quick now. Next step is pistons, cam, and valves.

Gasket doesn't look too bad. Definitely has some issues. We'll see what kind of surprises the other side has.

Not bad looking for a 22 year old engine. Maintenance is key!!

Time to start pushing the golf cart work. Tired of being in a truck and definitely tired of the oil field.

Homemade rake. Needed to fix some ruts in my back yard. Kinda thrown together but gets the job done.

Teach children to be creative and rebuild rather than always buy new. That sense of pride they get from certain accomplishments can't be bought.

$150 for a shifter cable... Time to eliminate the cable system and go back to an Old School Linkage style shifter.
Still in the design process. I'll post pics once I start making the pieces.

This years goal... Make Brutus a Dually. The right way. Not just bolting wheels together.
Longer stronger axles, air suspension, hydraulic brakes, and rims custom made by myself that will distribute the weight onto both wheels evenly.
Brutus can haul 1500lbs on the rear axle now with no issues, and tow 4,000lbs. Anything more is pushing my luck and also pops the front end up.
When this modification is complete, Brutus will be able to handle 3,000lbs on the rear axle and tow 7,000lbs.
Stupid? Yes. Am I gonna do it? Ofcourse I will.

Might be time to take it apart and build it a bit different again.
Time to upgrade and add hydraulic attachments and air suspension.
