Bagged daily drivers
 
Hey Guys,

This might have been discussed but, just wanted to know how many of you guys use your bagged rides as daily drivers? Cause I am picking mine up on Friday.

Thank!!:metal:

Does your air ride freeze up in winter? Our buses do a couple times a year.

Daily drove mine in the winter in seattle. Never had anything freeze up. After 2 years of it on the 3rd year I had a fitting crack on the airride, but that was the worst of my problems with it.

If you didn't have a problem there I dought we would in OK. Do you have a drier? Do you have to drain or service the system?

Should be ok. But I would most definitely run accumulators and such. I ran oldschool MIC manual valves so it was a bit simpler. So I used none of it. Drained the system 5 months ago for the first time, and I installed it in 2004. Had at most a cup of water, I would definitely drain it once a year and you should be good.
Edit: Mine always leaked from the fitting on the tank so that I'm sure lead to more condensation in the system than others will most likely have.

Thanks guys!! Quick question. I surf everyday pretty much. Now that I have my notch in. It looks like I am not going to have room for my board. Does anyone know where I can get a long bed vinyl Tonneau cover? I found this one: cover
Or any ideas. I was thinking about welding a rack too?

Thanks.

you could raise the entire bed floor or make a bracket so the the board mounts sideways. Like a U, I've seen these types of racks on the top of cars before.
