got the frame table about 80% complete. still need to weld in the middle support legs & the leg adjusters so you can make the table perfectly level. Work has already start for the new back half.........stay tunned

IMO I think bagging something like that specially a truck looks major bad. It's such a nice strong looking truck before. It's like neutering your poor truck's manhood

^^^^ You couldnt be more wrong. this is just adding to its manhood.

2 link with a wish bone in the rear. the bags will be mounted on the link bars. custom LCA's up front with a Z'd frame & front back only. we will also be making our own fuel cell.

I already have 1 tank mounted behind my front bumper. The other one will be mounted in the stock gas tank location along with both compressors. My bttery will be relocated to the rear frame as well. We plan to start on the front when the rear is completelt finished & my rearend is off to get narrowed.

Normally what you could do is just plate the lca & cal it a day........we are shortening them by 2" to help with camber. Then we have to raise the upper control arms as well.

While I'm generally not a fan of bagging vehicles, it will look pretty bad ass to have a bagged truck towing a bagged car.

So when's the trailer getting bagged?

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 8:45 am

Lol, I was really wanting to do that. I would have to build it from scratch

Post by **racer12306** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 9:00 am

And the problem with that is? Other than time of course.

Yes I can see how that would really tax someone of your very limited skillz...

looks awesome man! I'm realllllyyyy not feeling those wheels though. Look too 'baller' for me. I'd go with some sort of BOSS wheel or something a little meaner and less blingy looking but hey to each their own. Why are you only doing a two link and not a four link?

jetas · Post by **jetas** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 1:17 pm

SOunds good. u got alot going on. me wants to see progress!!! hurry!!

and sidepipe i think he is on BOSS wheels. idk if ur being sarcastic or not. lol

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 3:08 pm

Its not a 2 link, I guess its a 3 link. 2 link bars on bottom & a wishbone on top of the axle. Im already runnong boss wheels lol. If I change them it will be either to intros or bonspeeds

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Tue Jul 21, 2009 3:10 pm

Doh! I fail haha. And yes, some nice Intros or Bonspeeds would be even better.

cool, nothing wrong with that setup, I'd just wan't a 4 link for piece of mind knowing that the rear end won't be moving around at all, but I guess it really won't with that setup anyway. I can't wait to see more! I want a bagged truck sooo bad.
