    AT & OJ Open House May 29th

    We'll be grilling dogs & burgers for all until they run out. Bring your own drinks & munchies and a chair if you plan to stay for for the movie after the BBQ. Thanks for the heads up. There is a truck stop in PV but no such parking near the shop.

    WASURF63's New ATFlippac

    Glad to hear you had a great trip and made it home safely. It was a pleasure to have you here at our new shop in Prescott for the install of your AT Flippac. Your Taco is a well built platform, now with the shell, it'll be very cool to watch how you personalize it to suit your needs. I am...

    FlipPac Awnings

    We have not tried it yet but preliminary measurements indicate to me that it would be a bit odd on a 6 foot bed. The picture is of a Tacoma with a 6 foot bed. The Fiamma awning that is attached is 72" long. As you can see, it has about 1" inch on the left before it would interfere with the...

    ARB w/ Blue Top Opitma Question

    No. Your ARB will draw about 2 amps per hour. Your Blue top if a group 27 or 34 is only 55 amps. You should only draw your battery down 50% i.e. 22.5 amps of usable power. In this case, you would yield only 13.75 hours of operation.

    Scepter Gas/Water can holder for roof rack?

    Hmmm, interesting. Not only did they copy our design after buying a few holders from us, they are using our copyrighted pictures to boot! Attached is the original picture. I guess a phone call and some finger wagging is in order. Thanks for the heads up folks.

    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    We unfortunately had some difficulties with shrinkage of the top post molding and the debut will be delayed a few weeks while we adjust the tooling. We are bummed not to have it ready at OVX. When it is completed though, it will be well worth waiting for. We'll have more to report on soon.

    Scepter MFC can order...Any interest?

    Those of us who were distributors for Scepter in the US were no longer allowed to order the MFC effective Jan 2008 and only permitted to sell existing inventories. This had nothing to do with CARB rules but a decree set forth by the Department of Defense. I know one distributor who received a...

    Describe what makes a off road trailer

    We are dead set against them because we have proven first hand that torsion axles fail in washboard environments. In our research we find that most SA mfgs use leaf springs and OZ mfgs favor trailing arms with coils or leaf springs. I would be curious to know which mfgs you have found from SA &...

    NL Portable Power Pack and Solar

    I too have a NL PP and use solar. You will need a controller and have the controller feed directly to the battery. If you have any questions, give us a call at the shop.

    33 x 10.50 safety...???

    I ran 33 x 9.50 R15 BFG MT for many years on the factory rims, even competing succesfully on that tire in Florida and California in the Safari Triathlon. I have since switched to 285/75R16 for the higher load rating (essentially a 33 x 10.50). 18 years of tall skinny tires on my MJ with 347,000...

    Sand ladders?

    During the Overland Training I was able to demonstrate the difference that 2 psi made between getting stuck in a sand dune vs. floating on top...both on the trailer and tow rig. For example, my truck at 5700 lbs with 285/75R16 AT at 10 psi and the AT Teardrop at 1285 lbs with 315/75R16 AT at 10...

    FlipPac manufacturer/sources

    Point taken and possible confusion is understood. I think what Martyn meant was that the JK project we are working on is not a FRP product. Sorry for any offense or confusion.
