It so easy though. Even a caveman could do it.

I'll bet by the time you add up all the valves and wiring and time it's not a hell of more. Looks a lot cleaner. Oh ya and it's smarter.

And I can add on to it later.

I got one with the compressors but you need a special one for the accuair. They hit you up for another 50.

watahyahknow · 01-08-2011, 02:17 AM

i've seen a verry nice kit a while back it was a cage with a tank a compressor the valves and the switches allready installed inside a plastic cover in only needed a 12v hookup and all the lines to the 4 corners http://www.dreamershotrods.com/image...oductId=367425
they call it the airpod

daverod · 01-08-2011, 10:55 AM

I looked at that one. I already had my tank and compressors though. I liked the idea of a big tank and dual compressors.

Thanks Paul. I'm going to try and get my cab on this weekend.

See if I can do it without scratching it.

Where's the s10 build?

ruffrida2005 · 01-08-2011, 04:07 PM

I haven't messed with it yet. I'll try to get on it this coming week. Been busy with the house. and I'm not ready to work on the bag set up.

Been dealing with the VA. I finally got my rating lastnight. I got a bunch of appts. and this is my DD.

daverod · 01-10-2011, 12:58 AM

Did some rattle can on my arms. Got the joints press in. Put it all back together. Found a bigger sway bar in my garage so I replace the one I had. Waiting on my front and rear shocks. Also got the shock relocating stuff.

What kind of front air bag set up are you using? The lower bag mount will screw up that nice paint.

Yeah those unibit rip offs work great !!

watahyahknow · 01-12-2011, 05:00 AM

been to a factory in germany once from mahle
the productionrun was for mercedes pistons and they each had the little logo stamped into them
after that they did a run for imitation/aftermarket pistons .......... they took out the logostamp and continued production
for some stuff you only pay extra for the logo

Strodder · 01-12-2011, 10:54 AM

Any one know how to sharpen those unibits?

daverod · 01-12-2011, 11:22 AM

Why sharpen them . Just keep your reciept and go get a new one. I broke the first one I had. They are brittle. I just returned it. Guaranteed for life.

Strodder · 01-12-2011, 11:37 AM

I didn't know that. Where did you buy them?

daverod · 01-12-2011, 03:25 PM

hf. Harbor freight.

Keep your reciept for anything you buy there though.

watahyahknow · 01-12-2011, 05:42 PM

if you dont have the receipt just buy the exact same thing again walk out and back in again with the busted part and if they ask tell them it fell apart within a second
you then have two new ones ...... if you lost the reciept you had to buy the part again anyway
done that a few times when i was low on cash on stuff like electric heaters , works good if you lost the original box to return it in as whell

scotts62 · 01-12-2011, 06:40 PM
