ok well got some work done last night I drug the scout out to my buddies house to do some final bends on cage and get some stuff welded in. before we took it off the trailer we bled the brakes and the clutch. We got it there after I got off work By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 then we got it into the shop By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 then I had my buddy start welding in some roof braces for the cage while I bent some tube and got to notching By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 Here is how all the roof bars turned out By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 then at about midnight we called it quits and decided to pull the scout on the trailer well it did not go very well cause my lawn chair front seat made turning hard and it slid off the trailer By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 and we had to high lift the scout off the trailer By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 By mudmainac3 at 2012-05-12 and here comes the bad news. I was messing around with it trying to make it run and decided this thing may have a bad motor. it cranks over a few times then catch's in one spot and will just stop the motor. and when I did get it started it was missing pretty good. I'm gonna do a compresion test on it today and see if it has low compression and if thats the case its not gonna make memorial day wheeling and i'll have to put my gf's 4runner back together so that I can take it.

probably just cry. I have another complete 3rz bottom end in the shed with a rod knock. its gonna be the one I have built up and just find another head and get work done to it. All my motors pretty much live on the rev limiter so they gotta hold up. I went and bought new plugs, cap and rotor and installed now the motor purrs like a kitten also had 175lbs compression in all cylinders so its good. I have a video of it strait piped I'll have to upload here shortly. I also got my cone washers and nuts so that I can install my hubs. tomorrow is seat brackets and seats.
