Trunk Setup​

Again, huge shout out to "Oh Damn, It's Sam" as he's the one who took the time to map all of this out for me. My pen and paper doodling skills lack when it comes to precise fittings and I'm a very visual learner.

This is verison 2 of this render, after discussing the project we added more. You may be wondering why there's so many fittings? In order to clean up the install I'm mounting everything underneath the tank. It'll avoid running lines all over the top of the tank and I can hide things much better.

At this point, i'm still waiting on a few boxes to show up for my trunk setup. I decided to start piecing everything together without goop or the thread tape just to make sure I have everything (which I highly recommend as I forgot a few things.)

• Forgot 2 more 1/4 PTC T's
• Need a threaded fitting for the center "manifold"
• Forgot a 200PSI safety valve (THIS IS A MUST).
• Forgot to buy water traps

Just for a visual reference, I also circled the parts I forgot to pick up for anyone trying to place a name to a object.

That's enough for this morning, UPS only delivered 3/4 boxes yesterday that were out for delivery so hopefully the 4th shows up today!

 

Tank so excited it's smiling.

 

What in god's name does it mean to "bag" a Patriot?

 

Something like this

 

if this could be used to lift a patriot i'd be all over it like white on rice.

 

Haha. I'm sure there would be a way, but I'm not going to be the tester. I've got bad intentions.

 

I"ve guessing the angles are less than what they are when you go up =)

 

I haven't had any issues with CV joints (knock on wood). The joints don't look stressed in my opinion.

 

Hmm awesome I was just currious I'd assume they would be too long to go downwards but if working great!! Like the arms and stuff as we'll, so far so nice with the tank, also did dynomating that back area help road noise?

 

It helped tremendously. My stock deadener was pulled out for the picture being cleaned but hopefully I'll get that back in this week.

 

I used Second Skin Audio's products, all in was about 500 dollars

I used the Damplifier Pro as the first layer, then places that had the factory deadening I reused that. The third layer was the Luxury Liner Pro.

Ouch. I don't mind the noise that bad. Just crank the tunes.

 

Sick project. Definitely will be following your progress.

 

I look forward to this being done. I would love to bag my infiniti, jealous of your time and disposable income!

 

Sick project. Definitely will be following your progress.

Welcome back Fail, glad to see I could drag you back for this. It's going to be so good.

Disposable income, haha. I made sure my bills were paid and decided to live very sparingly for the next two months. I even told my best friend he'd get a birthday present two months from now because I had more important things.

 

Yesterday I placed another order for parts. Ordered some fittings that I missed prior, or broke this weekend due to overtightening. Also picked up my gauges early to start making a place for them to sit, and they told me if i stopped there shipping was $40. Free shipping limit was $240 away, so what did I do? I took the bait and got free shipping. Picked up some stage 3 stuff way early that way it could be fabricated way before I needed it.

 

what do you have in mind for wheels and tires once you get all the bag setup in place? don't you have 19s now?

 

I'm still aiming for 19s with a little more aggressive fitment and stretch, my fitment will be exactly where I want it aired out.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

Can't wait either, parts are shipping, parts are receiving, parts are being fabricated. There's way to much going on!

 

Oh damn you. I wanna bag my car soo bad.....debating, gonna wait and continue to read your post and see how it goes a few months after the build is complete.

 

I'll keep constant updates after the install is done. I'm still gathering parts.

 

Stripping my interior tonight, I'm going to record it just to have some footage.

 

:worthless:Well......we want an update!

 

Gutted.

 

Whos the girl you had pose for you? epper:

i just kid. Will that pancake fin in the well with the lid on it?

Are you doing tubs for the wheel wells or will the tires just fit up in there?

...scrape frame?

 

I need a shirt! It definitely looks gutted! We want bags and we want them now

 

You know where to find me.

Still just waiting on parts, some are stuck in the snow storm up north which is really bothering me they haven't moved in a few days

 

Today we got most of the electrical system wired up, just a few more ends to button up. Then install all 4 bags and turn it on. We got delayed due to UPS not delivering the package even though it's sitting in our towns UPS hub. Nobody could confirm why it wasn't sent out and they won't allow me to pick it up until the day it'll be delivered.

The install so far has not been "difficult" per se if you take your time. The downside is its very time consuming. I've had a friend helping me for 9 hours and only got the wiring partly finished, had I've put 6-7 hours in it prior to today.

I've never done an air suspension setup, so i'm attempting to take my time attempting really learn the system. Once everything is functional I'll start moving things and cleaning it up a little bit but for now function is the biggest problem.

 

I was doing a little thinking last night about your setup, and I think everything looks good so far; the only thing I think would concern you is the noise that the compressors will put out while your tank is refilling. I don't know if the compressors got any quieter since the last time I bagged out a truck, but the compressor that I had was relatively loud...might annoy you after a while. I would hook one up to some power and see if the noise will annoy you before making any final line cuts and adjustments. If it is too loud, you could always mount them upside down under the spare tire area, since you don't have that massive muffler anymore. Another suggestion would be maybe to put some sound deadening material under your spare tire door...may help with the noise abatement.

 

I know they'll be loud, but I was hesitant about mounting anything under the car just due to scraping and weather. I've got a nice layer of sound deadener right now, and plan on adding more soon to deaden a little more and with it being under the false floor it'll be a little quieter. They sell silencers now, I could always pick a pair up when the time comes.
