    Price drop: 5’ Flippac for 1st Gen Tacoma $4K, with build $5400 .Sad day

    I'll share this with some friends of mine, they're looking for campers and are all pretty jealous of my flippac... On a sidenote, do you have any documentation on that windoor you installed? Part number, manufacturer? I tried to order one from a local ARE dealer here, knowing ARE has one that...

    FlipPac Hinge Broke - Solutions?

    ha! I thought it was pretty clever until that facepalm moment at the end…? I think the only thing I’d be hesitant about that process is the fiberglass repair, I hate doing that.

    FlipPac Hinge Broke - Solutions?

    That video of the guy hammering out from the back end was completely wrong, FYI... Itwas because he thought the entire thing was seized,rusted in, but in reality he forgot to remove one of the bolts holding them in. There should be 3 bolts, he undid two...

    Spare tire weight...

    awesome, thanks! guess I coulda looked that up. oh well. I drive an older Nissan 720. Wheels are very basic white oem steel, i like the look. alloy just seem to flashy for this rig and my taste. I'll probably upgrade to an 8" wheel, over the stock 7", when I finish building this. Unless...

    Spare tire weight...

    Can anyone give me an approximate weight for an 30.5" AT tire on a steel wheel? Just ballpark. I want to order a 2" hitch swing away adapter and mount a tire carrier and two bike rack or gas cans to it... Want to make sure I won't over do it. It has a 300# limit. Thanks.

    Low-profile hard-side truck campers without cabovers

    I believe there are reinforced areas, both horizontal and vertical, molded into the fiberglass to screw into for shelves, tables, bed, etc, whatever you want to build out.

    A marine shop, like West Marine, will have the material, including all the nylon fittings.

    FLIPPACK CAMPERS

    Yeah, last time mine snapped it tore that sleeve in two and left a big dent and scratch in the top of my truck.. there was also about a 4" schard that probably would have projectiled somewhere if it wasn't for that sleeve, knowing my luck probably would've gone through some kid's eye into his...

    Flippac torsion bar

    Maybe I've been lucky... Two Torsion bars in 15 years... Kinda bummed that FRP may not be around. I was looking to buy another in the future, since AT doesn't seem to have any interest in building a Habitat for Nissans... :/

    Oh joy, motor swappies for old gold

    Yeah, not many have had success squeezing th VG and VQ motors into a 720. Most just do a KA24D swap. Ive seen some of those mercedes 3.0L turbo diesels dropped in, as well as the Nissan SD25. All are super gutless, but reliable and torquey. This is kind of a cool swap...
