Duke Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 This thread is a bit out of hand. I personally like the truck. The proportions after the section and the top chop look good IMO. I does look like it needs quite a bit of finishing though. Have you done anything about a windshield or side windows? If I were a potential buyer that would be one of my major concerns, as custom windows are $$$. GLWS Link to comment

elmerfudpucker Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I would love to see some video footage of the system in action. Link to comment
caddyhack Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) it doesnt really make sence but the bigger the bag the less pressure it takes to fill and bigger bags = smother ride they could have done the bags like normal (in the a arms)but he just wanted something different.Its pretty hard to explain how the cantilever works even when your looking at the truck while I explain. there . The linkage would have to stick up over the engine for it to work how it works now. if i can figure how to down load vidoe i will post some for you guys:D here is a crappy visual of how it works : bag fills (YELLOW) and pushes bag straight out then pivots on canilever(RED) and pushes a rod under the dash(BLUE) and that connects to another rod with almost like shock tabs (GREEN) that goes through the firewall (GREEN) and bushes bown on another rod that acts as a strut (NOT SHOWN) " like i said its hard to explain Edited November 14, 2009 by caddyhack Link to comment
72 327 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Well personally I admire all the work that has gone into this truck. The originality of it is A+. I would have done it to something else, a much bigger vehicle. Since it seems a bit dangerous with everything in the cab with you. As with my truck, not everybody likes it, but to each there own.

JDM510 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 what if that bag pops????? trade for a 88 ranger ext cab??? Link to comment
AZhitman Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Not likely. Usually, there's only 40-60 psi in these and they're rated to FAR more than that. No one worries about a tire popping as you air it up, and a tire is NOT rated to FAR more than the max pressure. I have bagged coilovers on my S13 convertible, and it takes 45-55 psi to go from lowest to highest. Weight is the variable, and this truck probably weighs way less than what my droptop S13 weighs (it's around 2200). Link to comment
JDM510 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 bagged coilovers??? any pics of this Link to comment

JDM510 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 it does lift up more than that but i didnt have my air tanks full it lifts the fender a few inches above the tire maybe you got a leak in the system thats why it wont presure up??? Link to comment

goes2fast Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I wouldn't call it a show truck, it's a Ratsun, yes, a Ratrod, yes, a unfinished project truck, yes, but a show truck, no way! It would need at least finish bodywork, and primer, to qualify as a show truck omho, and that of many others of my generation. :lol::lol::lol::cool: "A vehicle is worth what you fold and put in your pocket when it leaves" Link to comment
