    FlipPac manufacturer/sources

    In answer to some of your questions, the AT FlipPac has been specifically designed for off-road use. We offer the windows, small and large, as an option due to the security offered by a solid side and strength and rigidity vs. the window. There is flexibility in the length of shell that can be...

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    AT will be using high quality Australian canvas that is breathable and water resistant. It's the same type of material that the high quality roof tents are made of. I spent 3 months hunting this material down, met with the owners of the company at SEMA, and air freighted over 100 meters of the...

    Advice on buying a Ford

    I'd agree on the 7.3 engine. Common problems are, the high pressure oil injection system leaking, injector O ring leaking, turbo O rings leaking, fuel drain valve leaking, Crank shaft Position Sensor failure, all straight forward fixes if you are mechanically inclined. I am also experiencing...

    Tire chains, snow, mud, and airing down.....

    I think a case of "Great minds thinking alike". Although, when I was a kid, my brother would always pipe up "Fools never differ" :sombrero:

    Tire chains, snow, mud, and airing down.....

    If snow just had one consistency then there would be just one answer to this question, but snow varies due to it's free water content. The typical Utah powder has little free water and when you drive over it doesn't from a large ice layer. Sierra Cement has a high free water content so when you...

The 3 ft section on the AT Teardrop would be attached to the rear...

    A/T for personal use and as a Rental???

    It's legally complicated, and "borrowing" the trailer and not returning it was the least of the worries this guy had. We just moved on.

    A/T for personal use and as a Rental???

    A/T for personal use and as a Rental???

    There are a lot of pros to having a commercial rental fleet, depreciation, income, and re sale. On the personal rental side the big negatives are: People never treat your trailer in the same manner you do. Off Road trailers.... well they go off road and come back with the occasional ding. Wear...
