    A friend of ours blew a bag while heading back home to Arizona from the GNRS. He's stranded a few miles from the show. we're in desperate need of a Firestone 2600 air bag to get him rolling. Does anyone local los angeles/orange county/ pomona area have one we can buy? All of the parts houses do not have any in stock. Any help is appreciated.

    If you can help please give me a call @ 562 396 3500

    Thanks guys!

    Yeah we have a few friends at the show looking for a supplier. So far no luck.

    We had a 2500 bag laying around but were having to switch around fittings and mounts cause there're completely different. We've gotten a few leads so far. But if anyone has a 2600 laying around it would make things a lot simpler.

    Thanks guys

    Worse case scenario, Cut the bag opena bit, Put sand or dirt or whatever in it and duct tape the shit out of it. Got me out a pinch one time....Good luck.

    Glad you got it fixed. Could've jacked it up and cut a 4x4 post down and stuck it in there...
