    Someone is going is up for great deal, I have the esentially same setup on 02 Tacoma with S/C with 195K. It has been everywhere - Alaska, Rockies trails, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canadian woodland trails. This size truck is ideal for offroading/camping. Flippac should be a classic!

    Flip-Pac Parts Suppliers List? Windows, Torsion Bars, etc.

    That's why the Flippac is so great for bushwhacking and forest trails. Don't see $100K rigs having fun in the woods. I have replaced two torsion bars, the rear window, and finally got a rain fly that actually works. Even tho the Habitat from AT is twice the cost of my Flippac they still are...

    Problems installing Swayaway torsion bar in flippac

    SAW torsion bar I think I received the first bar made by SAW. It was a little tight fit, but it was so pretty painted red and all I knew it would work. My first replacement bar from FRP looked like something from a Russian steel works (lasted about four cycles) , visually the diameter was...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    ZR2 I think this will be great alternative to my 02 Tacoma with Flippac. I question only the load capacity of the ZR2 for hitting the back country with a full load of overland equipment.

    FRP Flip-Pac for small truck FOR SALE

    flippac torsion bar Sway-A-Way does make the bar, and I installed mine 2 months ago and it works fine. I appreciate that so many Flippac owners will be able to extend the life of this great camper. I hope someone will grab on to this concept and truly redesign and rectify some design flaws...

    What a beautiful vehicle - too clean for me. I am in MN and my Tacoma build on a CA Tacoma looked like crap after 1 week - I am a driver that wants to have some dirt on the truck. Is this still available?

    Flip Pac on a 2016-17 Tacoma?

    Long live Flippac I am so glad to see this kind of question. I believe the Flippac will be recognized as iconic in overland lexicon. Mine is on a 1st gen but am struggling with getting something with more amnesties for future trips. But I keep looking at the big rigs and remember all the...

    FLIPPACK CAMPERS

    Can't wait to install my bar, UPS says next Tuesday. Went to ExPo East last weekend and had to use the delete mod for three nights of camping. I hope to never touch those lifting bars again. Saw some very nice rigs and truck campers from 10K to 400K. But for 6K my little Tacoma with Flippac has...

    FLIPPACK CAMPERS

    Broken Bars Both my bars broke in the closed position. In both instances the outer tube split open - but did not completely brake. I have been on several trips with broken bar and split tube. I have been using the delete mod to open and close the Flippac and can't wait to get my new torsion bar...

    Sway-A - Way Torsion Bar I will certainly do that. There is a good post on this forum for procedure for replacement - which I followed doing my first bar. I wonder how many have replaced two bars like have on 5 year old Flippacs? Don't get me started on a rant again. OK, I'm calm again.
