How'd you make the bed dump?

[Orange crush]

How'd you make the bed dump?
I tapped into my exsiting air bag system, if you want it to be at a steeper angle go with "tall bags", that'll get your bed way up there, these I have on are where originaly made to go on the rear end of my truck, if you plan on actualy carying and dunping stuff like dirt, I'd recomend you reinforcing the bed some how, like with a thicker plate first........

no offense, but I would ditch everything in the back, other than the sub box, its sorta corny.

[Orange crush]

no offense, but I would ditch everything in the back, other than the sub box, its sorta corny.Oh I... I understand it'll give it the "looks like everybodys else's in the back of the truck look! great idea! thats exactly th look I'm going for, thanks for the opinion, now lets say a show like ahh, pimp my ride" does something like this (which they've done more out ragous stuff to vehicles in the past then what I've done to mine) then everybody will say "thats sick" but when a tree living Hawaiian does it, its "corney".

now with that said I as well as millions of other tree living creatures as myself have a dif culture here, we like to some times do things that'll set our selves apart from you "Civilized" mainlanders over there, so that being said this post was supposed to show some of you mainlanders the hard work I happend to have put into my truck and once again instead of being proud of what I have done and wanting to show it off I end up haveing to defend my self from some of the members on here who cant seem to understand I only wanted to have some great conversations with all of you, not have stupid comments made aout my work simply cuase it doesnt fit what they like or would do tothe're truck, in other words forcing they're opinions onto me, like saying, "I would do this" or "I would do that" or "you should do this" comment.



But hey, I'm being to sensitive here so let the comments continue and I promise from nowon, I'll stay put here on my "Rock (island) and make sure I'll learn my "place" and not instult any of you by shareing my work with the mainlanders over there.

:thud: Wow, step away from the monitor Kalani we do not want another visit to the hospital. :thumbup: Just let it roll off your back. I thought that you were used to it with the Vette crowd. :D It was really not that offensive of a comment.

[CKTA]

Well, I think it's still cool and the best part is....it's your truck....do what YOU want. :thumbup:

LOL!! no, no more heart attacks Tim I promise!!


Yea you'd figure that I would be used to it, but I'm such a nice person and I tend to be very sensitive, I hate it though when I try to be nice and then I have people ruin your day with comments that dont need to be said, as far as I know I dont remember posting up "what do u think of my never endding project?"


So anyway Tim how you been? I never see u for how long now.

[Orange crush]

Well, I think it's still cool and the best part is....it's your truck....do what YOU want. :thumbup:
I appriciate it man, your one of few whos been cool to me on here since day one, I really do appriciate it man.

[Toolman]

So anyway Tim how you been? I never see u for how long now.

Tell me about it. I have wanting to make out to a cruise but the timing has not worked with my schedule. I know that August is not going to happen. I hope to make it out in September.

We are moved into our 70 year old new house. Rewired the whole house elec, cable and network, remodeled the bathroom, drywalled the bed rooms. All this between working the day job. The Vette is still in Aiea and will be there for a few more months. Just washed the truck for the first time in 2 months.

[TwoTone98Z71]

wow, you looked way too far into my comment. As far as your comment about Pimp my ride, over here on the mainland, EVERYTHING they do is one big joke...interpret that how you wish.

[Custom K5]

Man I love the colormatching on the wheels. :rocking:

I hope the bug guard is temporary though cause I noticed it's not on in your sig pic and the front end looks much cleaner without it. :read:

Cool dump bed too.

[BackinBlack]

Looks great. And definately unique...which I like. Your truck is still clean and straight and simple from afar, but has details that stand out...I like.

[blazenlo95]

I like the bed idea...if you need to get rid of a fat chick in a hurry, just put some cake back there, and whoop!

[96thebossgrnchv]

[c.nash]

Love the exterior!!!!

However the interior does not suit my tastes but it's your truck man!

[belmont]

Looks good bro! :smokin:

[TribalVision]

I love the color of that truck. The color match rim insets are sweet. Good luck with it. one bad thing about the dump is now you have to clean under there.. LOL

awesome ride.

[Orange crush]

Mahalo guys, glad most of you like it, even the ones who didnt at least they word they're opinon in a none insulting way, so it's all good to me!! You guys Rock!!

[Toolman]

damn u remember that? shoot I even forgot I had them on there.

Yeah, I forgot about them as well. Better without them! You gotta do something about the bumper holes. That would really clean up/finish the exterior.

[badkelly]

i'm diggin it. lemme see in the back of the bed more....that looks cool from what i can see in the first pic

[TwoTone98Z71]

Hows the truck scene up there in Jersey? do u notice a difference in style/taste in how poeple fix up the're trucks from state to state?

[CKTA]

Hows the truck scene up there in Jersey? do u notice a difference in style/taste in how poeple fix up the're trucks from state to state?

Yep, pretty much the same all over. No one has the same taste so you can see any and everyhting at any time. Not alot of custom stuff around, but when you see it....not much of everything being the same.....which is a good thing.

[1996Silverado]

That truck has really changed since I first saw it. I definately agree to change the bumpers. With the rub strips off, just looks, off.

Now I have a question, you brought up "Pimp My Ride", how do you keep the waterfalls from spashing around?

Guess this is "Pimp my Tree"? :lol:

Not alot of custom stuff around, but when you see it....not much of everything being the same.....which is a good thing.Yea I noticed that to by looking at other members rides here also, doesnt seem theres a pattern or anything which as you said is a good thing, variaty is the best I think and one can do so many things with a truck its almost unlimited compared to cars.

but I have also seen things here that are very dif from the rest of the mainlnd simply because we're isolated from the rest of the mainland us, but its all good and fun though!!

Hard to tell. Do they run in to those cup looking things that are lit up?

Yes they do, then it over flows down to a "CATCH" then recycles through the pumps.

that's pretty cool....never thought to do that when i did my bedliner.

[Orange crush]

that's pretty cool....never thought to do that when i did my bedliner.Mahalo (thanks) I was trying to think up of somehing easy to do and different at the same time the carpet thing or hard bed cover thing has been done of course so that wouldnt set this truc apart from any other (as far as beds were concerned), then as I was stareing at the bed for a few minutes the idea popped in my mind about painting it as you see it now, it was like "damn, theres like designs in the bed so why not bring those out some how?" so I did. lol.

[Orange crush]

Man I love the colormatching on the wheels. :rocking:

just a heads up.. i hope you have the bag that lifts the bed limited up and down some.. only reason is because sleeve bags need to be limmited in there travel to far up and they can blow to far compressed and again they can blow..just a heads up

[Orange crush]

cool, thanks for the heads up man, I have a small presure limiter so the pumps will shut off at a curtain psi, and when compressed the bads are realaxed but not squashed, we did some intense measuring before welding up the plates, but since you brought that to my attention I'll have a chain of some sort to limit the travel further more ( for what ever unseen accurances may happen) better safe then sorry. :thumbup:

[BLWright]

Kalani, what kind of gap are you getting between the bed and bumper at full tilt? looks mighty close. do you have a stop installed?

[Orange crush]

Kalani, what kind of gap are you getting between the bed and bumper at full tilt? looks mighty close. do you have a stop installed?Howzit!! the gap is not that close at all, get enough room for tilt da bed way more then how it was, (as we have had it when working on it) not even close to the bumpers.
