***AVTekk*** · 01-28-2003, 11:11 PM

Hes a dumbass and broke his wrist so Im gonna post up a couple pics of what Ive been workin on today and yesturday. Sorry for the sh|tty pics but my cam doesnt have a flash on it; hes got a lot more on his camera tho.. Heres a shot of the drivers side:

***AVTekk*** · 01-28-2003, 11:13 PM

Tank and compressor setup for the time being..Its a Blowjax POS compressor, it fills up fast when it works. Dont use these if its cold where you live. This one froze up overnight and I had to heat the bish up to move the truck :\

***AVTekk*** · 01-28-2003, 11:13 PM

Down and sittin on the wheel wells hard. 205/70-14 tires

***AVTekk*** · 01-28-2003, 11:14 PM

The truck gets mad ups tho!!

***AVTekk*** · 01-28-2003, 11:15 PM

Thats it for the time being..

Layd Dly · 01-29-2003, 12:15 AM

looks good hope hes got some bigger than 14" rims for it tho....

***AVTekk*** · 01-29-2003, 12:17 AM

Its the daily driver..his other truck is a bodydropped 2nd gen sonoma..

LaynLo · 01-29-2003, 12:59 AM

you do good work. make good money doin this kind of work? go to school to learn it or is it self taught?

***AVTekk*** · 01-29-2003, 01:26 AM

ive learned how to weld and stuff like that in school and my dad is a mechanic (thats his shop in the background) so I guess I picked it up from him..

Yea my viair 450 does the same thing, i think its actually the tube that goes from the compressor to the tank.

***AVTekk*** · 01-29-2003, 12:59 PM

Na this was the compressor. I disconnected it from the tank and brought it inside and hooked it up to a big truck battery to get it to kick over..

Bobby D. · 01-29-2003, 01:28 PM

dam good work AV. when do you wanna do mine...LOL

SlowBlue00 · 01-29-2003, 06:07 PM

Dave.... did you install shocks? What kind of bags and bag mounts are those and how much of the pocket did you trim? Pics?

Bob

orangesonoma · 01-29-2003, 09:24 PM

DAVE your so great thanks for the post... he does great work had the front end apart in like 10 mins hes so great

whitebowtie9 · 01-29-2003, 11:36 PM

dave is my hero!! hes so cool haha

***AVTekk*** · 01-29-2003, 11:50 PM

I don't remember what mounts they were, whether they were suicidedoors.com or FBI..Brian bought stuff from all over. They were straight cut mounts tho, and only required me to trim a little on the inside edge of the pocket instead of eyebrowing the frame.

that somthin u dont want to see dave did it just to get it done so it aint nutin pretty but it works

WhiteXtreme · 01-31-2003, 03:16 PM

what are they ziptied in there

orangesonoma · 01-31-2003, 03:18 PM

one side is held by a hose clamp the other is just there...it all just temp. for now till my wrist heals so i can make it pretty

WhiteXtreme · 01-31-2003, 03:22 PM

cool. where you guys all at in jersey?
-Jim

orangesonoma · 01-31-2003, 03:25 PM

dave is from so plainfield and im from union so central jersey

***AVTekk*** · 01-31-2003, 03:31 PM

what you didnt like the hose clamp on the fender?? hehe..hey, i worked with what i had..i should have taken pics of the super fly switch setup :woowoo:

Brian I was gonna put the pass side valves under the battery, but that would have been sh|tty for you to wire..i think they can still fit there tho

***AVTekk*** · 01-31-2003, 03:36 PM

BTW you can see in that under truck shot that the back lip of the spring cup has been cut off to provide clearance for the bag..

WhiteXtreme · 01-31-2003, 03:40 PM

Your switch job cant be worse than how mine was when i was wiating for my ps controller. I had 4 rocker switches pushed into the cover of a book. It was ghetto as hell.
-Jim

***AVTekk*** · 01-31-2003, 03:53 PM

a book! rofl..

I went outside and broke into a old car and stole the door lock switches from it. SPDT momentary toggles..perfect! and they have a real nice action to em hehe

I did that because Brian didnt have his switch box with him so its just temporary..

WhiteXtreme · 01-31-2003, 04:01 PM

Yeah the book was bad but its all i had to work with at the time. Thats idea with the switches isnt to bad thought, i dont have power locks in my truck i could put one of those switches in my door to use when i drag and it would look completely factory.
-Jim

orangesonoma · 01-31-2003, 04:07 PM

unlock... up... lock... down...

orangesonoma · 01-31-2003, 04:08 PM

unlocked

orangesonoma · 01-31-2003, 04:09 PM

locked

WhiteXtreme · 01-31-2003, 04:21 PM

thats pimp as hell

98sdime · 01-31-2003, 04:25 PM

ya, that's not a bad idea, for the 2nd gen if you don't have power anything to get the piece from a junkyard, and wire your switches up. Would kinda suck though being right-handed and all.

***AVTekk*** · 01-31-2003, 04:27 PM

lmao unlocked/locked heheh

ScrapinSoLow · 01-31-2003, 07:56 PM

HOPE MY BLAZER DONT COME OUT LIKE THAT ONE, WHEN DAVE DOES IT...LOL JUST PLAYIN DAVE DOES GREAT WORK!!!

JLAUDIO29 · 01-31-2003, 09:16 PM

hey avtekk i do full bag installs, and everything so i know what im talking about when it comes to bags, but there are so many diffrent ways to do things, so no body ever gets taught all of them.. so mabe you can teach me something.. but im just wondering why there is nothing cut out of the coil pocket... ???

***AVTekk*** · 01-31-2003, 11:49 PM

Dammit TJ I explained why it was done like that! ass...lol

JL I explained on the other page that the rear lip of the pocket was clearanced (with a sawzall), but the frame did not need to be eyebrowed. The mounts Brian bought were free floating straight cut style. Supposedly you don't need to cut the frame when you install them, but I dont believe anything until I see it. (All the mounts I installed before this one were the offset style that required the frame to be eyebrowed.) Well I checked the bags at full inflation and complete contraction and noticed that there was indeed a minimal 1/2" buffer zone around the bag at all times. I was confident that there would be no problems so I left it as is. When we do the rear setup the front will definetly get a once-over to assure that there are no abrasion issues..

JLAUDIO29 · 02-01-2003, 12:03 AM

yah definatly... i have strait cut style.. but my top cups arnt as tall as those so it sinks into the coil pocket more.. so it need to be eyebrowed... but those look like they will be fine i was just making sure. but he is gonna have laying issues if he ever decides to lay the frame out cuz the top mounts on those are way to big they will restrict how far the truck is aloud to go down. then you will have to cut the cups then cut the pocket :-P you can lay frame on an s-10 with out using 2inch spindles.

***AVTekk*** · 02-01-2003, 12:27 AM

I know about the spindles, but why did you mention it? He is using the spindles tho..

Ya I know about the cup. Its fine for now because the tires are too tall..He might wanna take the wheelwells out and if that happens then we can determine what needs to be cut.

JLAUDIO29 · 02-02-2003, 12:57 AM

i dunno just thought i would add it in there to let everyone know. alot of people think that you need to have spindles in order to lay out with bags. :-P

railin93 · 02-02-2003, 05:43 PM

hey try the power door lock buttons from a new style civic...they work perfect for fast bags plus they are hella small

orangesonoma · 02-02-2003, 06:09 PM

no man this is just temp for me..till my cast comes off...but i have seen alot of people put a soda can under there chassis to show how low they are...so heres mine (oh and the backs not bagged yet)

***AVTekk*** · 02-03-2003, 12:01 AM

we gotta do somethin about that exhaust brian..suckers gonna be HURT

orangesonoma · 02-03-2003, 01:19 PM

let me drag thru it first then we can fix it ...he he

***AVTekk*** · 02-24-2003, 03:34 PM

Brian was screwing around and he got a video of his truck..3/8" valves, 3/8" line, 1/4" ports. Still has the pimp door lock switch setup hehe
