My '93 Dime Project - aka "The Cookie Cutter"

tsayyote · 10-29-2009, 02:35 AM

This came to mind.

Went browsin in some project threads to get some more ideas. You could do a remote mount and get fancy with the valves. Stole these pics from Project Lawn Gnome thread page 10/11.

Just some idea's to get you goin...

lookin great so far!

Booger8993 · 10-29-2009, 08:55 AM

aight sweet thanks

1low86blazer · 10-29-2009, 09:40 AM

hey thats a pretty smart idea for the valve i would of never thought of that.

Booger8993 · 10-29-2009, 07:17 PM

yea its pretty awesome... i actually knowthe guy doin project lawn gnome and he sent me a pic of his setup like that but told me i should do somethin like his but run em straight to my tank... i'll figure somethin out lol

tsayyote · 10-29-2009, 07:55 PM

its pretty cool how creative/unique ppl can be with their setups. I like that idea but it would be a slower pancake up with 1 intake line.

hahaha i still know him! in a way he still sent them cause its off his truck

wicked1 · 10-31-2009, 04:46 PM

so is it a good idea to place the ground of the valve on the mounting bracket like that or are u better of grounding it out on the frame

1low91s10 · 10-31-2009, 05:30 PM

i always grounded the valve to the body like the pic shows

SoLowXtreme · 10-31-2009, 05:45 PM

i had my tank mounted in my bed...and had the ground for the valves on the tank mount bolts and had no issues & i didnt have a tonna cover & drove it rear round

Booger8993 · 10-31-2009, 08:26 PM

gotta update comin for ya'll

Booger8993 · 10-31-2009, 08:36 PM

max lift i do believe

laid out on exhaust LOL

as far as she'll go ... for now

unperfected · 11-01-2009, 05:35 PM

fix those spring pockets..... u need to round the corners not 90* them.

just what i was about to say, you definately need to round those out!

valian02 · 11-02-2009, 01:19 PM

this is what you have to look forward to if you dont....

dontxtrust · 11-02-2009, 01:30 PM

yup, cuz having it angled like that creates a stress spot, rounding it spreads the stress out

on my blazer my pockets are 90'd. How much of a round out do you need to prevent that?

Booger8993 · 11-03-2009, 12:10 PM

so on my spring pockets... what would be the best way to take that 90 out w/o cuttin too much more of the pocket out? round it with a drill....?

Huisurdady · 11-03-2009, 10:17 PM

just cut more out that is def. alot safer than leaving it that way. just make the whole cut out part look like a half circle

yea back then i jus cared about havin it dropped. didn't really know much about the mini truckin scene. now i'm in love with it!

***98layinframe*** · 11-04-2009, 12:54 AM

you have a welder? if so just bend up and weld a 1/4" piece of round stock all the way around your spring pockets and fill in those corners a bit when ya add the reinforcement material. With all that material allready cut out in the corners.. its a game of filling it back in a little bit now.

well i dont have a welder but my g-pa does and thats what i was leaning more towards doing. he's got some 1/4" steel scraps layin around. i dont really wanna cut any more outta those spring pockets

Booger8993 · 11-04-2009, 09:04 PM

Booger8993 · 11-09-2009, 07:00 PM

sorry haven't had much updates. i'm in the process of tryin to wire up the switches and all the valves ... i aint no electrician lol but hopefully by the end of the weekend i should have all the wires and junk finished. then the bed should be on, so we're gettin there

Booger8993 · 11-11-2009, 09:27 PM

Booger8993 · 11-11-2009, 09:27 PM

got the dash and all back together and switchbox hooked up

BuiltNotBought99 · 11-11-2009, 11:50 PM

Looking really good man. I think you will love that switchbox. I had the same one great unit.

Booger8993 · 11-12-2009, 12:23 AM

thanks! hey question bout the switchbox... i had a light blue wire left over (after wiring up the ground, power, and the gray wire for an alarm which i dont have) and the avs guy said something bout wiring it up to a remote. well i have an avs door popper kit with 12 channels. could that left over wire go into one of the open channels and use it w/ the same remote to pop my doors?

Booger8993 · 11-14-2009, 05:56 PM

update...

ok so i got my fittings finally and everything wired up and working. jus a few minor changes and everything's all good... but then i re-ran a hot wire from my pressure switch through the firewall (jus to clean things up a bit) and now my switches that control the fill valves have no power going to them. i still have power running to the dump valves cause i can hear them "click". someone care to explain to me what in the world is going on lol ?? i checked the fuse and all the connections and everything is fine... i'm completely lost

Booger8993 · 11-15-2009, 09:51 PM

playin with switches today ...

V8Blaze · 11-15-2009, 10:23 PM

been watching this thread from the start, truck looks awesome. what size tire is that in the rear, looks nice and meaty

Dragonball98312 · 11-15-2009, 10:36 PM
