Somebody come do my plumbing...please

Drain Bamaged · 05-06-2012, 02:54 PM

What you think of the shower liner

rstadelmaier · 05-06-2012, 06:51 PM

i like the idea if it holds up to heat

s10kid17 · 05-06-2012, 07:20 PM

Lookin badass guy.

rstadelmaier · 05-06-2012, 08:11 PM

Thanks man. I need to take a break im mentally strained from it haha

Drain Bamaged · 05-06-2012, 09:29 PM

It is vynil not sure of the heat how much we talking

rstadelmaier · 05-06-2012, 09:32 PM

the heat a solenoid gives off

Drain Bamaged · 05-06-2012, 09:34 PM

That should be fine it is esy to work with and it comes in a four foot wide roll you buy by the foot for I think four dollars for a 1x4 piece but you can get any number of feet by fur footvwide I love the crap

Looks great man, I've been following the thread, just haven't posted since I don't have much to add to what's been said already.

I know this doesn't usually end up happening on bagged trucks, but it can. The top example in this picture is actually bad for the u joints. There is no operating angles so they're not moving like they're supposed to, to lubricate the needle bearings properly.

gunther19820 · 05-07-2012, 12:33 PM

^ I dont know if this image is supposed to be viewed in elevation or plan view^

I do agree with you, that if the u joints are totally inline with each other (both elevation and plan), it would be bad. But I believe this image only references either elevation or plan

break is over get back to work... looking good man... are you having any issues with your drive shaft hitting the back of the cab...

drive shaft does lay on the cab, but it drops just as much as i'd like it to.
i still plan on tubbing the cab a little just t not have that strain on the driveshaft.

ok cool mine does the same thing... gonna try a hammer first it just touches when the frame is on the ground...

rstadelmaier · 05-07-2012, 06:32 PM

yeah mines not on it too hard. actually my differential bracket touches my notch crossmember when layed out. which i am ok with too, because it's less than a half inch from the bags bottoming out. and i like that it bottoms out there that on the bags.

Dmbh09 · 05-07-2012, 06:34 PM

does the truck lay out? or is it resting on the dif cover?

rstadelmaier · 05-07-2012, 06:36 PM

once i decide to tub the front fenders. it'll lay out just fine.

Dmbh09 · 05-07-2012, 06:41 PM

front is the worst part... you gonna keep a/c? well i say the worst just because of all the relocating... have you ever tubed an s10 before...

rstadelmaier · 05-07-2012, 06:55 PM

truck has no a/c. sucks but works out good for tubbing. also the truck is a 95 4.3L TBI. Has alot less under the hood than an EFI. i relocated my coolant overflow and removed my ABS already. my only real concern is the wiring harnes on the driver side, but i have some ideas.

Dmbh09 · 05-07-2012, 07:01 PM

that easy pull it back into the cab... cut out the bracket and move it up or to the side of the firewall... with the abs gone and no a/c you will not have many problems...

rstadelmaier · 05-07-2012, 07:07 PM

i'm thinking side of the firewal hidden behind the fender

Dmbh09 · 05-07-2012, 07:16 PM

Sounds like u have a plan... When are you trying to have it back on the road?

rstadelmaier · 05-07-2012, 07:21 PM

having it back on the rode this week would be nice. probably no bed on until i finish all the plumbing and some little shit. i'll do the front within the next few weeks as well.

Drain Bamaged · 05-07-2012, 09:27 PM

It seems like lifting is easier than bagging

rstadelmaier · 05-07-2012, 10:55 PM

By far easier. No clearance concerns and no air leaks.

Drain Bamaged · 05-07-2012, 11:12 PM

All we have to do is make room for 100 pound rim and tire plus the same for spare

neo71665 · 05-08-2012, 12:15 AM

Lifting does tend to be easier.

As for no air leaks mine has one right now. Then again all it effects is my horn and I can't air up a tire right off the bat. Doesn't leave me stranded on the frame waiting on tanks to fill, lol.

mikeh918 · 05-08-2012, 11:57 PM

One of my favorite builds so far! Keep it up man, good luck!

thanks man. slowly but surely it's getting there.

rstadelmaier · 05-09-2012, 10:06 PM

anybody like stainless hardline?

granted i only did one side tonight because i've been waiting over a week to get the rest of the stainless in.

but i also made some of these. tampons....... i mean shackles.... stainless duh. they'll get holes soon.

Drain Bamaged · 05-09-2012, 10:22 PM

Looking good

nolowis2low · 05-09-2012, 11:32 PM

that stainless is gonna look damn good man. iam ready to see more progress pics mayne. DO WORK!!!

rce10 · 05-10-2012, 01:07 AM

This is some amazing work man, great job!
I was thinking of going with the same setup with the bags behind the axle but no real such about much else yet because this will be my first bagged project.

rstadelmaier · 05-10-2012, 07:26 PM

thanks alot man. yeah this build has been picking my brain for awhile now

rstadelmaier · 05-10-2012, 07:48 PM

well this is my idea for the valves. gonna throw it behind the passenger seat.

Dmbh09 · 05-10-2012, 07:59 PM

hey man let me save you some trouble... before you install that i would go ahead and notch/tub for your drive shaft...

rstadelmaier · 05-10-2012, 08:01 PM

i plan on tubbing it soon. this setup for the valves is 13"x21". it's gonna go directly behind the passenger seat where the jack used to be, so it wont be in the way of the driveshaft at all.

Gimp · 05-10-2012, 11:03 PM

^^ that looks real nice and tight bro. I like your work yet again!

Dmbh09 · 05-10-2012, 11:50 PM

looking good man... keep it up...

nolowis2low · 05-11-2012, 06:55 AM

iam glad ure doing this before i get to it so i know what iam kinda looking at. mine will be done a little differently but same idea.

rstadelmaier · 05-12-2012, 09:18 PM

Patawick · 05-13-2012, 04:11 AM

Looking good!

1sikPuP · 05-13-2012, 09:40 AM

i was gonna say, i hope you use stainless hardline on this...so much more dependable and looks so nice when done right...where did you order the tubing from and how much?

rstadelmaier · 05-13-2012, 11:55 AM

i used stainless on a good bit of it. the rest is just airbrake line running into the cab.
i ordered the tubing from McRandal Fluid in Creighton. it was around $2.70ft which was an awesome deal. it's .049 wall and other places i shopped had .035 wall for $5ft

he also make hydraulic hoses and stainless braided

Gimp · 05-13-2012, 01:43 PM

Hydraulic hose ftw

Truck looks so good man. No doubt this things gonna hold up for a long time to come. Keep it up!

richarddhoward · 05-13-2012, 01:55 PM

Want to bag a truck for me?
