[deadCA18DET]

haha yeah il see , its going to be a 3 year project as i have lost my licence , so it could be on the cards :-)

[bodybodyrock]

u lost it for 3 years?? holy jeebus wat were u doing??

theres a few bagged trucks rolling around perth atm.. do it do it!

[deadCA18DET]

ah riding my moto on the road a couple times, yeah i used to have a mini truck and wanted to bag it , just a bit hesitant,if i can get it done legally i dont see why not, apparently if it can only be operated when u are stationary u can have them .ie not operated from the cab ??

[bodybodyrock]

yea as far as i know u are correct about bagging, altho u cannot legaly notch ur chassi. so ull never get it to lay rail without notch

there is a few trucks in perth rolling around with up to 10" notches tho, and are street registered. i dunno how they got around it, or weather there just praying to never get yellow stikered haha

[deadCA18DET]

yeah true man , i just wanna keep it legal , although il definatly do my homework bouth the bags , and what exactly has to be done for it to be legal

[mr_mike]

Bags and notch no way possible to make it legal. U can run bags/diff but $3-5k for air bags when its only gonna go as low as $120 spring reset and $60 lowering blocks isnt worth it in my opinion.
check out some of the minitruck web sites for more in for.

like i said i wanna keep it legal , il look into it and do what ever it takes to get it as low as possible...i dont wanna fork out for bags only to get it black listed cos of the `c` notch

[mr_mike]

i done a stupid amount of research not so long ago when i was lookin to notch and bag my truck. 1 possible way is to weld on a new rear chassis summin like a jag that has rear IRS that way u can run bags and still lay rail. Simple fact is the lower u go the worse the ride my rodeo x-member sat 30mm of the ground and the rear had no suspension travel at all as the diff was pressed up against the chassis rails, an extremely bumpy and harsh ride. Did look mean as tho

[deadCA18DET]

hmm i would have thought that would be pretty much the same, ur stilll notching the chassis no? even if its engineered certified its still illegal?
