    Is Cook Partner the best? Money vs. Quality

    18" with windscreens. I know it's expensive, but it's the best.

    RTT question for all RTT owners

    Fabric is critical when choosing any tent, but it's critical for RTT's. On the weatherproofing side there is the balance between water resistance and breathability. Water resistance decreases as breathability increases. So a good balance is needed to keep the water out, but keep the atmosphere...

    New Sportsmobile on Order

    I believe you are fundamentally correct on this. There is an exemption, if you pick the vehicle up in California and drive it directly out of State, without using it for any other purpose. The example given is someone picking up a boat in California, they are not liable for the tax if they...

    Flippac Rain Performance?

    Being involved in manufacturing, and knowing we haven't started on this project, I would advise against waiting for the new tent portion of the FlipPac to come to market. Right now all we have is the material, the process from here to a finished product takes a while, especially since our...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    Sorry, the way the tent folds away in this unit you would have both the mattress and the tent fabric between you and the top of the roof.

    Flippac Rain Performance?

    AT has been in talks with an Australian company that manufactures a lightweight canvas that is water resistant and breathable. We have 100 meters of the fabric for building prototypes for our JK Toppers. Once we have that project dialed in we have talked about making replacement single layer...

    Flippac Rain Performance?

    Sounds like Doc has a solution for weatherproofing the inner tent :) What are you using? As far as I know Wildernest is no longer in business. I have one on the back of my truck right now, the truck came with it. My impression of this tent is less than favorable. My tent has become completely...

    Flippac Rain Performance?

    The FlipPac tents has very low water resistant qualities. If it rains you will get wet. The cover / fly sheet is necessary in this application.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    The JK Topper will use the exact Jeep hardware for installation and removal, so yes it's removable. Any interior work including storage, kitchen, water, shower etc. would be in addition, so it would be up to the owner to decide what they wanted fitted. We have a new division of AT that is...

    Hitch Riser?

    The commonality of the coupler can be solved with a receiver tube built into the trailer tongue. That way you can switch in and out a coupler to fits your needs. The issue is if Telwyn wants to do the conversion or not. Some people like to keep military trailers in original condition. If your...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    We are looking at a March delivery. Shipping to Alaska is always expensive, we would skid mount the top so there would be additional costs in supporting the JK Topper and protecting it during shipping. It would financially make more sense to pick it up before you went.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    Jack The rear window is in the identical position on the JK Topper as it is on the JK. Any difference would be due to the perspective of the rendering. Price point is going to be around $4400.00 details are here http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=521995&postcount=150

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    The window on the passenger side is obviously for the drivers field of view. The second window behind the driver doesn't provide much vision, and most expedition vehicles have the whole of the cargo area full of gear in this area. The solid wall area on the drivers side can be used for a...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    We have a couple left unspoken for. I get this Deja Vu feeling all over again. When we sell product we get three waves of buyers: The first wave, the first adopters, recognize a great product right away and jump on it. The second wave, the thinkers, take a while, ask lots of technical...

    Cheaper Scepter Military Style Cans

    The original Scepter Military Cans used a special polymer which gave them their ruggedness, the ability to be run over, thrown from moving trucks, and be shot by live ammo. In part it was this plastic that caused them to be withdrawn from the US market, they failed the permeability test. The DOD...

    start fresh or tweak it

    Go with a 3500 lb axle, the bearings are considerably larger than the 2200 lb. In the long run you'll be much happier with the larger bearings.
