i bought a 6" Air cylinder from grainger.com...part #6w151 it think, fabbed up some tracks, plumbed it with an old 3 way electric valve that i had, and cut some depth off of a Gravity-Werx tag box. welded her all up and viola...tag goes up and down.

i had to regulate it WAY down to about 3 psi though. i had it just sitting in the tracks and not bolted yet.... tested it and the tag box dented the 16ft high ceiling in the garage. so make sure you secure it before testing it

oh yea, james gave me some pointers when i did mine and it worked great! until my buddy rear-ended me like 4 days after i finished it up.

no kidding about regulating it. even through 1/4" airline, that thing flew across the yard!

THE AVS KIT IS BADASS!

The new AVS kit will be in the price range of $200-$250

It will have more than one use....you could use it for a TV,amp and some other goodies.

mines hooked up to my neutral safety switch.

put it in drive and it folds down.



seriously it isn't... but someone should do that, you pussies.

I'd like a retractable kit that works like in dash monitors personally, but that's beyond me to make one i'm a pussy.

Hey kris how is the new one going to work from avs?

anybody know of any thing similar to a in dash tv that would be beefy enough to push a plate out and up or down?

Check them out... They used to have a retractable plate kit. They also make some badass billet switches and trim too.
