MrGeo Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Updates: prom and then work all weekend so not much has been finished. Started new fuse block, the two open spots are for the compressors; I still need a switch box for them. and I strengthened the flimsy bolt holes on the passenger side mirror with hot glue just to be safe. They were all shattered and crumbling, not well built at all. The bolts were metric by the way, that's what you get when you buy american, lol. http://www.youtube.com/mrgeo20-Bagged '98 S10-Lowered '96 Ranger -'01 Civic EX Boosted -'99 Sierra, under construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetMetalBen Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would put a manual ball valve in between the 2 tanks, that way one of them is your reserve tank. That way if you ever have a problem, or a leak, or a short in a wire, or one of the other many possibility's of issues that could come with air suspension. 1 5 gallon is more than enough, and the 2 380s will fill that tank regularly for years without issues. But if you have the option to get 480's, I would defiantly install those along with your 380s. Looks like a very clean truck! And a great first toy! But be careful, If the previous owner cut corners like that, who knows what else they skimped on... What kind of 4 link is on the rear? Also, if you need new mirrors, I have them on the shelf!

That sounds like a really good idea! The rest of the truck looks like it was done correctly, they just used whatever wire they had to assemble it is what it seems. I'm definitely looking through everything to make sure it's a safe daily driver. I couldn't tell you what kind of 4-link, I don't know much about that to be honest. I repaired these mirrors so I didn't have to get new ones painted to match. If the hot glue doesn't last, however, I'll definitely let you know! http://www.youtube.com/mrgeo20-Bagged '98 S10-Lowered '96 Ranger -'01 Civic EX Boosted -'99 Sierra, under construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGeo Posted May 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Update: It was slow going for a little while there, but I'm committed to getting this thing together before scrapin the coast this year. Today was a long one (but fun)! Built, mounted, and wired switch box for compressors as well as some other minor things like put new plastic clips on the door panels to hold them better. I'm on one tank and one compressor, the second 380C is in the mail headed to Viair for repair. oohh pretty lights ^ made a run to Advanced Auto Parts for a new filter/breather for the fuel tank, looking good out in the sun (drivers door is a little open) of course as soon as I pull out of their parking lot a cop flies in behind me and follows me all the way home. (no plate on the truck yet >.> getting it Tuesday) my dad welding some uni-strut brackets to hold the air tank in place hit them with some flat black the last saturday of every month there's a little car show in my town, we brought the s10 to it's first show tonight! on the way there: posted up in the parking lot: Slowly but surely coming together! http://www.youtube.com/mrgeo20-Bagged '98 S10-Lowered '96 Ranger -'01 Civic EX Boosted -'99 Sierra, under construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
