not likely without some major surgery to the truck - I think the H3T has a 5' box :( -a

Ottawa, Canada With fuel at 1.30 a litre, switching to something a little smaller - bought in Oct 2009, AT Flippac, with side windows. New Torsion Bar installed, Nikwax treated rain fly, LED backup light. C/W custom machined mounts for 05+ tacoma bedrails Will fit 6' midsized trucks -...

Finally - pics of the failed unit. A machinist buddy of mine took a look at it and his comments are that the heat treating isn't very well done. Likely that combined with some corrosion caused the failure. Putting lubricant on the ends of the bar won't do a lick of good for the portion covered...

ok - so here's the before pictures I described yesterday - on the driver's side - tapped through to flush with the edge of the driver's side outer/lower arm. And on the passenger's side, no engagement with the spline on the passenger's side outer/lower arm. For the method we used to finalize...

Step 3 **Partially** install the replacement bar. There are two sides to the torsion bar - a side with a short splined section and a side with a longer splined section - the short is the passenger side, the long is the driver's side. The arms that extend into the camper that the torsion bar...

Step 2 continued. On the driver's side is a retainer bushing with a set screw in it - mine was seized so I used a hammer and a chisel, one whack and it was off, allowing me to drive the longer broken piece out.

Step 2 Since the bar is indeed broken, there's no tension on it anymore and you can do most of the work with the camper closed. Disclaimer here, you have to ensure that the tension is off the bar. I made a hole in the aluminum cover and enlarged it to allow me to drive the longer of the broken...

Step 1 Decide if you'll replace it on the truck or off the truck, I've opted for on the truck and took an old thick sleeping bag and placed it on the roof of the truck, draping over the sides and tucked down between the truck and the flippac to protect the roof. The hose clamps on the bar were...

Just noticed you're in maine and not anywhere near Los Angeles :)

I have to do this tomorrow - You got about a year longer out of yours than I did mine. Mine broke at 16 months. FRP should have them in stock, I picked up the torsion bar, aluminum cover, two bushings and a one of the retention bushings (the plastic piece with the set screw in it) FRP tried to...

I have an opportunity to pick up some FJ Rims and Tires, new take off, for my tacoma. Stock from the factory on my truck are the standard aluminum rims as part of the SR5 package with 245/75/R16 tires. the FJ rims are the 16x7 base aluminum rims but they've for 265/75/R16 tires on them...

Nice boots - how much of a lift do you need for those? The other nice boots in I can see in the pics here are the MSR lightnings and what looks like a pair of la sportiva rock shoes - I have the MSRs and two pair of la sportivas but no new rim/tire combo for my tacoma yet - but soon.

looks sharp - what are you building it out of - looks like sandwiched ply or fibreglass panels

X2 on Adventure Trailers - my first purchase from them was my Flippac - the camper was delivered when it was promised and it certainly hasn't been my last purchase from them. Engel Fridge, National Luna power pack, etc.. The service after the sale is great. -a

Paul Mine was the same - about the same age and an FRP fly on it. I treated it (the fly) with Nikwax and it improved.. Question for TacoDoc - Nikwax, when you treated your actual flippac tent (as opposed to the fly) - did you do it on or off the truck? How did you keep the nikwax off the...

Very sweet - I have an ARB on a '10 Double Cab and I like the idea of lightweight - I'm assuming there was a bit of a price difference between the ARB and the Aluminess? -a

thanks for the responses folks - I've got some things to look at now and I'll get my dad to take a look this weekend as well - he's an amateur also. I've seen some mounts I can use that shouldn't require expanding the mount hole size. Once I settle on what I'm going to use, I'll post up data...
