Anyone know about "Bagged" cars?

I think it means the trucks that sit on the ground when they are parked, but then some kind of airbag type thing fills up when they start and lifts the truck so they can drive. I could be way off, though.

Edit---I just re-read and saw that you clearly knew what they were...I thought you were asking. I just looked at the "what's bagged mean" part and posted. I'm gonna go ahead and "play on..."

 

What vehicle are you using? Pickup truck, SUV, car etc? If pickup/suv is it 4x4? if so does it have IFS or a solid front axle?

Do you want it for the purpose of lowering or to lift it to the moon?

IMO 99% of the "kits" are absolute crap, anything good will be a full custom build.

How complex of a system do you want?

If on a truck, do you want load leveling to set a specific ride height and have it auto compensate?

 

Are you baggin the ol'e F40?

Theres really not a big scene in SA for bagged cars but I know of a few places in Houston who do it. What are trying to bag? IMO, I love when luxury cars get bagged....mmm, sweet but some might disagree.

Let me guess... A Lincoln Blackwood?

 

WES STEP AWAY FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE It ain't good for your noggen


The blackwood might be a real collectable (they couldn't give the friggin things away when they made them so the numbers are low...) But baggit and 22's and you are looking a something less than the sum of the dollars in parts

 

I agree... Wes is the only person I have ever met with one and I think it looks pretty cool as is.

 

had to google to see what one looked like.

 

Baggin a car is a worse addiction then building a track car. Once you get started its hard to stop the temptation to modify your ride more and more.

For me it started when I bought a pristine 1979 Chrysler Lebaron. I am talking Medallion series, top of the line hard top. I started with some sandwhich bags, ziplock style in the rear and used twist ties up front. I thought I was bad until some of my homies went and put on some tall kitchen bags. Not to be outdone, I went with some lawn and garden bags. The intial install used Glad, but I later found that Hefty works much better and is more reliable.

This was a bad time in my life. I was days away from upgrading again, this time to drum liners, when the intervention took place. Thankfully, I'm OK today. There is still some mental scarring, but the years of therapy set me straight.

 

BBBBBBBBWwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaahhahhahahhahahhhhh

The only place I know of in SA that does bagging is USA Motorsports.

Check his profile, he just turned 30 last week. He's now officially 'old' and high school girls will find him creepy.

Personally, I just got my first gray hair a couple of weeks ago. Now it will be an interesting race to see if I go bald or gray first. Bald had the early lead, by gray is coming on fast! Oh, and I am I'm only 37.

Wes, you've got a lot to look forward to. Don't fight it. You can always turn that new walker into a low rider.

 

If you are thirty

i am only 10 years north

age only enhances your taste like good scotch
Baggin a car... If you were 20 and had nothing better to do... and drinkin Swish....

 

"bagged" is just people shortening and using slang for air bag suspension.
sort of like
"chopping" a streetrod - short for chopping the roof or
"dropping" a car - short for lowering a car (lowering the suspension)
