Hey Guys,

This might have been discussed but, just wanted to know how many of you guys use your bagged rides as daily drivers? Cause I am picking mine up on Friday.

Thank!!

Does your air ride freeze up in winter? Our buses do a couple times a year.

I know what your talking about there man, when i worked at freightliner the really cold winter days was miserable, and then you were the lucky one that got the truck in the lot that had frozen brakes

Daily drove mine in the winter in seattle. Never had anything freeze up. After 2 years of it on the 3rd year I had a fitting crack on the airride, but that was the worst of my problems with it.

If you didn't have a problem there I dought we would in OK. Do you have a drier? Do you have to drain or service the system?

Dinos63 · 12-09-2008, 12:13 AM

Should be ok. But I would most definitely run accumulators and such. I ran oldschool MIC manual valves so it was a bit simpler. So I used none of it. Drained the system 5 months ago for the first time, and I installed it in 2004. Had at most a cup of water, I would definitely drain it once a year and you should be good.
Edit: Mine always leaked from the fitting on the tank so that I'm sure lead to more condensation in the system than others will most likely have.

I couldn't agree with you more Dino

c10Mang · 12-09-2008, 02:10 PM

Thanks guys!! Quick question. I surf everyday pretty much. Now that I have my notch in. It looks like I am not going to have room for my board. Does anyone know where I can get a long bed vinyl Tonneau cover? I found this one: cover
Or any ideas. I was thinking about welding a rack too?

Thanks.

you could raise the entire bed floor or make a bracket so the the board mounts sideways. Like a U, I've seen these types of racks on the top of cars before.

what about button down tarp with a little tuck n roll
