My 2001 S10..

I bought this truck for cheap.. coz of the shitty bag job..

Here are some before pix.. and some of the hackjob bag job that some dumbass slapped together..

I'm ripping it apart right now..


Just some pics








A shot of the crossmember that is suppose to be notched. Instead it was hacked and monkey poo'd together.


The awesome wiring job on the compressor.


One of the rear bag "mounts". After taking those lines out, I say "Fuck compression fittings"


Interior shot..


There use to be a gas tank in there. How do you know? See the gas that leaked out?


BODYDROPPED on 17s!


Another shot of the money poo'd crossmember.


A mount for I'm guessing a dragblock. There was some metal welded to the rear, that hung lower than the airtank.


Another shot of the other dragblock mount. That yellow stuff came out of the airtank. We think it's fix-a-flat!


Yes, that IS a chainsaw blade thing. It served no point that we could figure out.


Another shot of the chainsaw blade, but closer up.


Time to give it a rest and go home and sleep. It was 3:30a. Dusty removed the bags up front, to fix the leak and replace them with slams.


A shot of the notch after we took all the wires off and stuff.

Dusty graduated from Choctaw Highschool...


Yes, you are seeing 3 different kinds of bags. The ones with the mounts on them are for the front. The two mismatch are for the back.


The AZ Compressor.


Steel to rebuild the shit crossmember.. and extra for whatever..


100 Feet of 1/2" Dot air line..


Mmmmmm Fittttiiinnnnggsss.......


Motivation............


Fuck that shit...


New toy.........


Side shot.. old crossmember out...


Testing fitment.. part of my new crossmember....


Yep...


Ran out of grinding disc's.. fuckin rivots..


Old placement...




This thing is completley fucked.. The shop obviously didn't know what they were doing. The two mounts on the link should be parallel to the other mount.. not the bars themselfs.. idiots..

Air lift bags are a sure sign the guy had no idea what he was doing.......and that crossmember.....HOLYYYYY shit. do people not no its like MAYBE 10 bucks for a piece of metal to use for a crossmember? jesus man. i hope you didnt drive that bitch home

I. uhh... limped home.. It was 5 miles from where I bought it...

After I unbolted the shitty wishbone bar, I could grab the crossmember and the whole fuckin thing would just wiggle loosley.. it was split and about to break off...

But, expect more pix to come

I'm off to bed fuckers..
