my baggin project

[kustomkoncepts]

very sweet! Almost there, huh?

[ikon]

u got a week baby...get er done

[Marcos]

Damn!! looking good!

[Rorkrado]

Top notch work man!

[91HeavyChevy]

im so jealous

[jimhrabe]

Man youre gonna have alot of allnighters trying to get done for ITB arent ya

[Nickleahy23]

Damn its lookin great bootie...as soon as gauge sends me the right 6 link ill be tearin mine apart..for your front inner fenders, how wide are they? i found some 9.5" wide ones for like 18 bucks a piece, but im not sure if they would be wide enough and i should get the 11.5" ones...also, do you think you could snap a few more pics of where you cut the frame for the bags and tie rods in the front? Thanks alot man

[bootie]

thanks guys, we got alot of work to do in the 6 days before indy, but i have faith lol, as for the trailer fenders there 10 3/4 wide by like 32 or so long, and ill try to get a few more pics of the fornt for ya

[BagginA93chev]

looking good man, where did you get that overflow tank from? i like it

[bootie]

ebay lol

[loud1500]

i love how that looks from the front. i wish i didn't have prior engagements, or i would come to truck bash and check it out in person.

[bootie]

well i got some good news and bad news, the good news is i got the front end back together, the bad news is its probably not gonna make it to indy without being trailored, we ran into a bunch of problems tonight with the rear brakes not bleeding, the alram not working right which in turn doesnt allow the poppers to work for the doors, and now the truck wont shift from park unless you pull the fuse to bypass the swtch on the brake so yea im pretty excited(sarcasm if you didnt catch it)

[RaiN]

Looks SICK! What kinda wheels are you running???

[bootie]

there 22 x 9.5 with 265 35 22 rubber, and there the u2 brand 035 wheel

[Nickleahy23]

looks sweet...love those vids..cant wait till i can do that...when you cut your frong spring pockets, how big is the section that you cut out? like the square shape in the pics...keep up the awesome work

[bootie]

i think icut like 2.5 inches out of it maybe a tad more

[ikon]

Looking very killer bootie...kinda sucks it wont be ready for indy. You think youll trailer it?

[bootie]

i have somebody to trailer it, but i gotta find a trailer lol

[ikon]

u could prly rent one...idk what prices would be like but around here its not to spendy per day.

[92 sierra slx]

just rent one from u haul there not that bad per dy

[framelayer]

Just a thought on the alarm. Do you have your tail lights plugged up cause sometimes little things like that will screw with an alarm system. Truck looks sweet man..Good work..

[Kruznlow69]

dude i know what your goin thru. my alarm, poppers, window modules and crap are what kept me from goin to my first show. i made a simple mistake but after 36hrs straight i couldnt focus anymore.. trailors are cheap to rent. also if you have local races try asking those guys, they usually have connections..

[bootie]

itll be drivin, we got some plans and help from a few people, alarm guy is comin tuesday, and were gonna haul ass on the bed and if i have to ill drive down to indy with just front brakes

[92 sierra slx]

damn bootie you crazy just fronts

[ikon]

whats wrong with ur rear brakes??

[Nickleahy23]

he was havin troube bleeding them i believe...

[BadNewsSS]

itll be drivin, we got some plans and help from a few people, alarm guy is comin tuesday, and were gonna haul ass on the bed and if i have to ill drive down to indy with just front brakes
Thats just stupid.

[Fro]

Noooooooooo, He will just have to drive it like it only has front brakes. Thanks for the vids bootie, Your truck has major lift and looking good!

[BadNewsSS]

I wouldnt drive anything without the full braking system funtioning properly.. Its doing stuff like that, that gives customs trucks a negative unsafe reputation.

[92 sierra slx]

:10: bootie you need more vids of your truck layed out to full out your bags are quick on lift:happy:

[BagginA93chev]

you should be fine driving with just front brakes as long as you are careful and keep some extra distance in front of you. i drove with just front brakes for like 2 days and it wasnt bad at all, seemed to hardly make a big difference when ii hooked the backs up.

[ikon]

Cause the fronts do majority of your braking

[BagginA93chev]

Cause the fronts do majority of your braking
:word:

[bootie]

if i only have the front brakes i dont really plan on riding peoples asses, i plan on keepin my distance, im not retarded

[ikon]

if i only have the front brakes i dont really plan on riding peoples asses, i plan on keepin my distance, im not retarded

I beg to differ bootie...haha jk

[Marcos]

Damn Bootie, thats pretty damn sick!!!!

[tahoen]

Damn Bootie, thats pretty damn sick!!!!




:iamwithst

[bootie]

i got som good enws, we got the rear brakes working, got the alarm all situated and working again, so indy is a for sure thing and i wil be driving it

[Marcos]

Sounds Good!!!!!!!! Want to stop and pick me up, lol

[bootie]

maybe if you were a little closer lol

[framelayer]

Good deal I'll def. stop by and check it out at itb.. Peace...

[Nickleahy23]

Good to hear everything is comin together good...you happen to get any more pics of that front end? Thanks alot man

[bootie]

im sorry i keep forgetting, ill get some tonight for sure for ya, but i cant wait for indy lol one day more day

[Nickleahy23]

[adversary]

wow! very good write up. It's almost like i'm watching an episode of trucks, :eek: lol.

[slammed97]

hey bootie, where did u get ur inner front fenders?

[crewon24s]

[92 sierra slx]

:head: :head: :head: :head: :happy: :worship: great job bootie i envy you

[hardluck]

Yeah, Bootie's truck is pretty rad. It was parked at our hotel lol. Gotta love those LED tail lights. After seeing them in person, I'm kinda thinking about a pair.

[Bagged 04]

Looks nice! Your lift/dump speeds are what i wish my truck did.

[Marcos]

Looks nice! Your lift/dump speeds are what i wish my truck did.

How are his lifts and dumps?

[Bagged 04]

Fast ups and slower down. Mines to fast going down for my liking.

[Marcos]

Oh, ok... yeah I just bought 4 1/2" plugs to drill them out smaller to slow mine down too. I am tired of the hard downs too.

[Bagged 04]

Yeah thats what i plan to do on my truck. I just need to do it.

[92 sierra slx]

[ikon]

snizzle son....all u had to say was "Its Julez" i know what he drives o_O

[ikon]

Bootie...where did u get that parker push-lok stuff?

[bootie]

this place calld hose connections, but there not a corporate company, im sure any hose place would sell it, i think home depot and lowes may sell it but not positive

[ikon]

What size line you running? 1/2 or 3/8?

[bootie]

its 1/2 o/d and 3/8 i/d

[jimhrabe]

Hey bootie get the bed done yet?

[bootie]

havent even started on it yet lol, were gonna start it next week, doc wants to take a chapter pic with all the rides

[fullsize94]

hey man i just wanna say this was an amazing forum wit lots of good pictures. i have a fullsize step side 94 with 22s tht i am fixin to try and lay out. u did pretty much the same set up tht i had n mind. i have a few questions 4 ya... what bags are u using in the front? did the firewall absolutely have to be tubbed? where the spindals needed to lay in the front? and what bags are u using n the bak n how far are they from the old leaf hanger?

[bootie]

well thanks, to start i have re7s all the way around, you maybe able to beat in the firewall enough with a sledge, but thats your choice, id rather tub its way nicer, but also more time, on the spindles you can use stock ones, but youll have to get control arms, you'll bind the balljoints like horribly when laid out, but its just easier to get it to lay out with the drop spdindles, i dont know off hand about the measurement but its like 4 inches roughly, you can go back a little further towards the rear end but not much because of the tire, if you have any other questions ill do what i can to answer them

[92 sierra slx]

bootie whats it look like at ride height versus laid out and aired up pics of the three to show ???? please

[ikon]

lol...bootie rolls with the ass about 1/2" off the ground and untuckin like a mofo up front...looks ****in sweet on those double dueces...damn i need some.

[bootie]

yea i dont have any pics of it at ride height, but ikon pretty much nailed it lol i ride cali like a mofo

[ikon]

http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=16273400

First truck in this video is bootie rollin his **** cali style on the freeway.

[92 sierra slx]

does the a$$ ride all up if you hit it or could you ride level with front for ride height video very choppy and slow maybe comp but heads up

[sLOWrado01]

yeah he could run it as high or low as he wants. level. cali. raked. whatever. perks of bags!!

[thrillfactory]

I've been working on mine and changed some things around. Bootie your truck is throwed maaan! Any tips for me on mine?http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/thrillfactory/DSC00263.jpg

[RaiN]

What front grill is that? I need one for my Tahoe!

[bootie]

i can ride at any level in front or back and ride comfortably, a sfor tips what are you looking to do? bigger wheels are always good :), lol thats up to you though, truck looks good though,and for the grill i got it off ebay, but lmc truck sells it in their catalog

[bootie]

does the a$$ ride all up if you hit it or could you ride level with front for ride height video very choppy and slow maybe comp but heads up
vid works perfect for me

[92 sierra slx]

must have been computer i was using

[thrillfactory]

Did you have any problems with the driveshaft hitting the cab?

[bootie]

no i did not, it clears by about an inch mnaybe less

[fullsize94]

sweet! i was considering re8s in the bak what do u think about tht? um how deep is the tub u put in...i wanna no how much beatin wit a sledge we are talkin here. but thank you. u are an awesome help and this is prob my favorite bagged truck that a have seen. good build man.

[ikon]

i wanna no how much beatin wit a sledge we are talkin here.

ewwww

[fullsize94]

ya tht is kinda what i was thinkin... how big of a tub do u have to put in? it looks like its really gonna suck...

[ikon]

Here are my tubs...i only have 20s now but the entire truck was setup for 22's when we did the bodydrop.

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/secsi_ikon/DSC01688.jpg

My tubs are gonna be a little bigger than booties but itll give you some sort of an idea.

[thrillfactory]

I bagged my friends truck on 22's but he didn't want to do a big tub in the front for some reason so I did a small one just to lay his truck out. If you want to just lay your ride out, this is the way to go but if you wanna cruise low in the front you'll have to tub it. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/thrillfactory/DRIVE_FIREWALL_AFTER_sized.jpg

[bootie]

yea mine arent all that big, we did bigger for clearance, with the sledge i dont really recommend it but just find the spots hitting and go from there, as to how much beating you have to do with it, it all depends on tire size your running

[thrillfactory]

Today I did this. Bootie, did you have any problems with your driveshaft pushing into the trans when air up all the way in the back? It only hits when all the way up. Other than that it doesn't hit. Did you have any problems with your bars twisting when aired up? http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/thrillfactory/DSC09292.jpg

[fullsize94]

hey ikon... on tht b/d truck have u got the heater box bak n and if so did u have any clearence problems on it? bc if i tub it i think i wanna do it like tht so i can either b/d it or go up to 24s later...? and bootie thanks 4 all the help... i have talked myself out of the sledge idea. The truck is one of my best friends tht passed away in april and he chose to give me it so i wanna do it right. uhhh how close are u to the drive shaft fallin out all the way up?

[ikon]

Heater and everything has been removed...if youve seen pics of the interior all of the vents have been shaved along with the HVAC controls. It would be exremely hard to put tubs in that big and keep the heater box because it takes up about 1/2 the space behind ur dash. Especially if you plan to run 24's. Youd need bigger tubs then i even have. I really dont think it would be possible unless you found something aftermarket. Youre also gonna be lookin at some extremely low profile tires if you plan on running 24. As for the driveshaft myne doesnt do a whole lot of moving probably only an 1/4" of movement through the entire range. I also found a few more pics of my tubs. Keep in mind this is setup for 22's.

[92 sierra slx]

will i need to tub tu lay out on 20's

[ikon]

Depends what size tire you plan to run. I think you might be able to get away with no tubs if you run a 255/35/20. I ran 255/40/20 last summer and my tires were damn close to the firewall and i wasnt fully laid yet.

[fullsize94]

okay then just tell me if i am bein unrealistic... this is gonna be a daily driver so i would like to keep the heater box. wit tubs the size as booties can tht happen?

[92 sierra slx]

i believe bootie kept his heter intact

[ikon]

im pretty sure bootie has his heater core removed. Im not sure how easy it would be to keep the heater core seen as i never attempted to

[fullsize94]

hey bootie... im to lazy to sit down n do the math n measure and u have almost the exact settup im gonna use so how deep is ur notch?

[lowwhite88]

hey bootie, thats one bad truck you got there. Is your setup in the back real soft if you were to air it up all the way and then with your hand push down? I noticed you used shocks, do the airbags have any problem extending the shocks? I don't know much about this stuff, but I have seen other setups with no shocks. And also on your door poppers, what company did you get yours from? I have had problems with previous ones in the past.

[thrillfactory]

The driveshaft doesn't wanna fall out. It presses into the tail shaft pressing the seal in.

[bootie]

hey ikon... on tht b/d truck have u got the heater box bak n and if so did u have any clearence problems on it? bc if i tub it i think i wanna do it like tht so i can either b/d it or go up to 24s later...? and bootie thanks 4 all the help... i have talked myself out of the sledge idea. The truck is one of my best friends tht passed away in april and he chose to give me it so i wanna do it right. uhhh how close are u to the drive shaft fallin out all the way up?
if you wanna do 24s you gotta do a pretty big tub, and i mean big, there would be no chance of keeping the factory blower box, you would have to move your brake booster. The driveshaft comes no where near falling out, but it does come really sloce to pushing the seal which i just had replaced and it hasnt started leaking yet, as for the size of the tubs i have, i still have the factory heat and the heatercore installed, all my controls are in the glovebox

hey bootie, thats one bad truck you got there. Is your setup in the back real soft if you were to air it up all the way and then with your hand push down? I noticed you used shocks, do the airbags have any problem extending the shocks? I don't know much about this stuff, but I have seen other setups with no shocks. And also on your door poppers, what company did you get yours from? I have had problems with previous ones in the past.
thanks buddy, its soft to a point, its pretty much like a caddy at around 60 psi, i dont get much up and down action from bumps, theyre factory shocks and my airbags max out before the shocks do, as for the poppers, theyre spal, ive never had any problems with em yet and theyve been on for about a year now

[bootie]

hey bootie... im to lazy to sit down n do the math n measure and u have almost the exact settup im gonna use so how deep is ur notch?
i dont kknow off hand but i think its a 9 or 10 inch

[fullsize94]

okay sweet thanks alot guys. i think i have everything figured out now.. at least the main things, and once i sell my short wide i will be baggin my truck! =) bootie that truck is sweet. my favorite setup i have seen. great work keep us updated.

[bootie]

appreciate it, you got question hit me up

[bootie]

heres a little vid from the gauge party at indy, me and ikon are in there and of ikon ending the vid in his own drunk style lol

http://njtruckscene.com/derekstuff/ITB2007/ITBDRAG07.wmv

[ikon]

haha...yes...but why was i talking about rainforests...thats the real question

[92 sierra slx]

ikon your one drunk crzy bastard
did that white renger have a jeep front end any pics of it???

i own page 20 :rocking: :fsc: :fsg: :rocking:

[hardluck]

What's up Bootie!? I stayed in the same place as you guys at ITB. Had a blast. Got a quick question - Did you use the factory front leaf-spring perches for your lower bars? The reason I ask is because I'm getting ready to order my link, and I'm planning on running my bags on the lower bars. Just trying to get all my measuring squared away.

[ikon]

Pics of said ranger with jeep grille...

[92 sierra slx]

that ranger although a FORD has redeemed itself in disguise as a JEEP thats nice work

[hardluck]

Sweet. I had an '01 Caddy grill in my '98 Sonoma....Hey that blue STi in the background passed us on the way there.

[92 sierra slx]

hey hardluck got any pics of that sonoma w da caddy grille
sorry to thread jack bootie

[bootie]

its all good and yes i did use my factory perches for the lower bars

[indiglo5997]

The jeep grill on the furd look pretty good i have to admit, it gives it a unique look!

[phatchevy06]

The jeep grill on the furd look pretty good i have to admit, it gives it a unique look!
Looks like they did a pretty decent job mounting it...and it is unique....but I wouldn't roll it...

[kelsey_canard]

wow, that fraud has some camber

[ikon]

wow, that fraud has some camber
Ya...thats what the rangers do for ya.

[92 sierra slx]

its one of those strange ford enginereed problems

[sLOWrado01]

ford IS one big engineered problem

[92 sierra slx]

exactly right on the head there slowrado

[indiglo5997]

but I wouldn't roll it...

O i would never roll it, i just like the way the grill was done. On that new a body style ranger didn't they ditch the i-beams? Why so much camber?

[phatchevy06]

didn't they ditch the i-beams? Why so much camber?
Damn man I was just asking the same thing to myself...

[92 sierra slx]

i think that one still has beams the new new ones dont

[ikon]

That ranger doesnt have i-beams...has control arms

[92 sierra slx]

whys it so cambered then ??? im no good with the cast out of the auto world i mean ford

[ikon]

Just the way the suspension works on a ranger i guess

[bootie]

its just the design of the djm control both of those trucks have em i believe

sorry to thread jack bootie yeah, check my gallery

[bootie]

yea no progress yet lol but were gonna be workin on it here in a few

[92 sierra slx]

what else you got left and what you doing im sure youll get pics
as soon as you can

[bootie]

we gotta finich the bed, still had to be welded all the way, and we have to build spacers for it, we alsound out that the rear bag brackets puled the frame out a little bit, so were gonna reinforce it, we thought boxing the frame would be enough but no, so were gonna build a brace from bracket to bracket and then from each bracket to the notch for more strength, and then i have to rerun a few wires and new gauge line for the passenger side and the tank from when they were broken at indy when i was dragging

[92 sierra slx]

pics of all this i assume????

[bootie]

not yet, i keep forgetting my camera

[phatchevy06]

Patience Daniel Son :D

[92 sierra slx]

i just meant is bootie gonna stay on top of all this like he did the bag work

[bootie]

of course

[hardluck]

I like the idea of the Blazer gas tank man. I was just looking at my truck this morning trying to figure out my next step (mines a longbed w/t with a 32 gal. tank). Seeing how my truck has throttle-body injection, I think I may have to end up doing a 1st gen blazer tank to use my factory sending unit/fuel pump. Props on that one Bootie - Way helpful.

[ikon]

They do make aftermarket pumps that will flow plenty for that motor.

[hardluck]

Cool. When I was on Summit's website earlier, they had all kinds of stuff. I may hafta look into that some more. Ditching that massive bath-tub in favor of something smaller will leave all kinds of room for suspension...

[bootie]

im happy with the way the tank turned out and it all works wonderfully

[ikon]

Do Work Son!!

[Nickleahy23]

Keep up the awesome work Bootie....Bootie and Ikon i have a question for you..When you moved the stuff on your drivers fender (I know you had a computer to relocate) but what did you do with the mess of brakelines? Can they all bend enough to work around the tubs that i will put in? or will i have to get rid of ABS and splice the lines into a T or something? Any info would be great..I cant stand not being completely laid out.

[ikon]

Yea...i removed my ABS and T'd...i think bootie however may still have his ABS? not 100% sure tho. As for the computer and fuse block we relocated those under the pass. side of the dash.

Hey bootie where did you mount your water/oil seperator?

[bootie]

i sitll have my abs but its not plugged in, lol, the omputer is mounted to the core support, and i just pushed the brake lines carefully over to clear my trailer fenders and didnt move the abs module very much. and my water trap is on the innerside of the framerail on the passneger under the bed/cab, you cant really see it in this pic but its next to the square D

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/thrillfactory/DSC09298.jpg

they do very minimal but nothing major, now i know you did the same setup up in the rear, you need to run a support bar for the bag brackets, its gonna pull the frame, which happened to mine, so im running a brace from bracket to bracket and then one from the bracket to the notch, also did you plate the frame where the bag bracket is also? if not i highly suggest it

[bootie]

is that bar gonna hit the bottom of the bed when the bed gets put on?

[bootie]

no the bed floor is rasied 5 inches and clears the notch also, so if it doesnt clear that we got some prolems lol

[07SilveradoGA]

Bootie, I am new to the boards and following your project. Looking sweet!
I cant help but wonder about your back glass with the license plate recess. Do you have any close up pics? Where did you get it from?

Thanks

[slammed97]

i ment like is it gonna hit the bed floor to add structure to the frame bag mounts or just to hold the bed floor?

[crabmaster596]

ok got pics of the tails finally, sorry bout the wait but they do suck ass. i tried to get one with the flash and i covered the bulb with my finger for another pic, but u just have to see these things in person. plus i couldnt get anyone to push on the brakes so this is just with my parking lights on. they get brighter.

His plate is mounted to his tgate...

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c295/da_probe91/Itb/DSC00135.jpg

[bootie]

ahh no its just to support the brackets, and ikon is correct. its mounted to the tailgate right now, it was never recessed in the back glass, just sitting behind wedged between the seat and the window lol

[07SilveradoGA]

Sorry, I have been drooling over everyone's rides and got messed up. It is actually 'phatchevy06's blue chevy that has the recess plate.

[bootie]

you sir are correct that would be him, im sure he has some for sell on ebay though lol

[bootie]

yes sir, its for the gas cap

[92 sierra slx]

sweet

[RaiN]

no the bed floor is rasied 5 inches and clears the notch also, so if it doesnt clear that we got some prolems lol


Bootie, what did you use to cut the bed apart? Sawzall?

[bootie]

we used a sawzall and a couple cut off wheels

[RaiN]

What kinda welds hold the bed together? They arent the standard seam welds right because the heat would stress the metal.

[99gixxer]

do you have a pic of the underside of your bed? i need to raise mine a little, but after you raise it, what did you do where the crossbeams are to bolt to the frame?


What kinda welds hold the bed together? They arent the standard seam welds right because the heat would stress the metal.

tack welds

[bootie]

yea its just spot welds on the crossmembers,but i didnt drill out the crossmembers except the the rear one, i cut the back wall, and the sides and then raised it and rewelded it, then i built spacers from the frame to the bottom of the bed, drilled out the spot welds for the rear crossmember so it still mounted like factory and then made a 5 inch filler piece, but i don not have any pics of the underside

sounds easy, i only need to raise it about 2 inches. what did you use for a filler piece?

sheet metal
