So you live near Austin? Thats cool, maybe one weekend I can go check out your car and see what mods you have and I'll bring my bagged 3. This rain sucks doesnt it?? Every damn day. Thanks, yeah I know how people can hate and have their own negative opinions on what you do with your own car, but its okay my car turns heads when I roll down the street hitting my bags and its one of a kind.

In the Tuner relm there are so many different styles ya know so everyone is going to have their own opinion ofcourse someone who wants to drag will never have air ride and people who go for all show will go the air ride route. I personaly like air ride on cars and trucks. I had an xtreme s-10 and was looking into it but i wasn't about to get ride of my 20 in rims to go air ride then then again i could bag a xtreme on 20s but i would have to relocate all stuff and cut fender wells out and yeah im way to lazy to do that so that was the end of my air ride vision. But yeah i think your car looks good bagged man!

Thanks alot man, I'm glad someone else likes bagged rides on here, lol. It was a vision of mine ever since I saw my cousin joey's bagged Protege5, people went crazy over that car and I'm slowly getting there with mine I just need a paint job (in less than a month)some 20's and a little more interior stuff (in-dash screen) etc.

Do what makes you happy. Looks like a clean install. If show is what you're after, you're off to a great start.

I agree! ^ ^ ^ And think that a number of other ppl on here will appreciate what you're trying to do, even if it is not their own vision. It's not mine 'cause I'm a Sports Car nut and have been for years, but I like it.
I also agree that from the pic you posted that you did a nice job on the install. 'Fittings are well placed and there was some obvious thought put into it.
One of my friends/coworkers has a slammed S-10 and even though we're into different things, we still trade ideas and ask each others opinions of the things we'd like to try...and we understand that we areONLY givingan opinion. We don't expect each other to follow that opinion to the letter.
I respect him for the work he's gone through to get there andthe visionhe has had. And I think he respects me for the same... in spite of a nearly 30 year difference in our ages. If you get into North Austin, near the H-E-B @ Parmer and Mopac, check out the midnight blue S-10 parked @ the "Corvette" angle and sitting on the ground. My car will be right across the way from it... most likely.

okay, Im in south austin over on Riverside but I know where Parmer and Mopac cross so maybe I'll see your 3 there. Thanks for all the support and if anyone wants to know how I did it or wants some ideas or pointers on dropping/bagging your car just hit me up on this thread.

My friend has this truck that we'll be bagging in the future in order to clear some larger tires (probably something in the 42-44" range.) with custom 4-link front/rear suspension.

This is his daily driver and has over 220,000 miles on it and we regularly tow vehicles around behind it.

Nissan's and Toyota's are little girlie trucks, even the full-size ones.

Toyota likes to tout their 10,000 lb towing capacity as something special. F-150 can tow 11,000 lbs, F-450 can tow 24,500 lbs....You can load a full-size extended cab 4wd Nissan or Toyota into the bed of a new Superduty and not exceed the recommended limit (bed load of 6,000 lbs in an F-450)

An F-450 could have a truck sitting in the bed, and still be able to pull a car hauler with 3 additional trucks on it.
