good story...although it was bad luck

 

Well, ya'll gotta remember it wasnt the bag so cant give bad name to UAS (just want to clear it up for them ) It was just a bad install on my part I ran the hose the wrong way. I'm just glad it wasnt that cheap plastic stuff they send with the kit

Thanks for the kind words James. And oh yea! I have an ugly temper, but I surprisingly kept my cool... I did damn the Lord a few times


Yea we can only wish.. but it all comes with the sport I suppose. I say the same thing about people who push the limit of the performance of their cars... what do they do when they throw a rod or a piston

BTW duct tape will do WONDERS!!! Had I known it was just a hose, I would have brought a roll! In fact thats how dude fixed his down in so cal when he blew his bag! LoL, hey it worked. Wrapped the bag with duct tape and it got him home!


and "air-baller" lol, nice!

on a very good note though

as I went to test drive it, looks like the 80mph grind the tire did on that side did a great job smashing all the metal down LMAO! now I can almost drive with it all the way down without it scraping! HA HA YES! so some good came of it too


(Hmmm... maybe I should dump the driver side while on the free way.....)

 

Glad to see your ok mr jokester!

 

+1 on UAS NOT being at fault once you get their brackets.. Its all about installation. If your install isn't well thought out, you WILL have problems. I was having problems almost everyweek, but now that I looked every detail, its all good.

 

WOW!! glad to hear that u pulled thru that one ok!! ****s sick bro! cant believe u actually took pics i wouldnt been gas'd up bro and ready to burn the car haha....

 

Damn that sux. Glad it's an easy fix. Funny it's the same corner I had a problem with on my air setup on my camry. Only my issue was the strut separated from the strut mount while driving.

 

Oh Oh... another member of the Air Club went down... Sorry to hear of your mess. However, it looks like you handled it. Also, good thing nobody got hurt and minimal damage to the GS.

I think it's time to ck my set up... just in case...

Btw, are you gonna remove the air system now, and go hydraulics? lol..j/k

 

glad you got home safe

 

lol, funny that once it happened the first thing I thought of was you guys! I remember many 'happenings' that other members posted and the pics... made it very interesting, so thought its time for me to do one


ha ha, yea not that it would make anything different (actually would have made a HUGE mess and slippery all over the place creating a nasty accident! if this same thing happened) but yea, I so like the idea of hydros now that we've discussed it!

 

seeing stuff like this happening always pushes me away from bags , ive always rocked coils for the past 9 years so i know that pretty well. Thanks for the write up on this hope everything is okay.

 

true, but you got to remember, everything has its benefits and downfalls... When coils make you too low and you cant go over a speed bump or up a driveway...... We get to air up to go over! air problems is usually operator error more than equipment failure.

 

Well im glad to see that you got out ok and you got to use all that "Muscle" thats what i tell my wifey too. its all muscle. Also im really diggin your pops skunk patch!!! thats old skool pimpin!! give him a double

 

lol, muscle heck yea! and yea MAN! My dads hair, its been like that for YEARS!!! thats the way it grew and the only white hair he's got, SO pimp!!! ha ha... I'll let him know!

 

had the same thing happen to me doing a u turn tire rubbed thru the line but i cant drive on my 20s i took out the bump stops in the struts to go a little lower anyways made sure to move my line and protect it well no problems since although it is at the back of my mind when i am haulin ***!!!! ohh and you should carry extra line and a splice connector in your car at all times and if a bag pops use a razor knife and exspanding foam from home depot lift with jack and fill bag with foam and let it dry that should get you home.

 

why cant you drive on 20's? I removed my bump stops too... as for carrying lines, as stated above (and as you can see from the picture) I dont use the plastic lines I use hydraulic lines... you cant splice those, hell you'd be lucky to be able to cut through them without a pair of nasty sharp shears, the fittings have to be machined on... This rubbing was happening for the last year and took that long for it to actually cut through...
