Where can you get a NL Weekender fridge fixed in the US that is out of warranty? Seems to run constantly and cool down very slowly indicating in my limited experience that the coolant (freon) is low.

Pete, I really like the way this is going, keeping the weight off is a great challenge for any overland vehicle. It looks to be rugged and built for cold camping I hope to see you at Expo east. I live outside the Twin Cities and plan to swing buy to see you and the build. Tom

Hallelujah, We have a source for our Flippac torsion bar. Sway-A-Way, the manufacturer of automotive and racing torsion bars informed me through Brian Skipper the company President that they are interested. He said they made a bar for a Tacoma size Flippac in the past and he has the...

flippac torsion bar Hallelujah, We have a source for our Flippac torsion bar. Sway-A-Way, the manufacturer of automotive and racing torsion bars informed me through Brian Skipper the company President that they are interested. He said they made a bar for a Tacoma size Flippac in the past and...

I have communicated with Brian Skipper at Swayaway,. He is interested - I gave him rough dimensions of the Flippac bar but we need to get a bar to him, broken or otherwise. He is on the road till Thursday. I asked him to post some interest to pursue this project. I will not have my broken bar...

Brian, I am sure there are many Flippac owners that currently have a broken torsion bar or will need one. I have tried contacting many sources with no luck. Sent a broken one in last year - but ultimately they said it was not what they do (racing torsion suspension bars). You probably need a...

Does anyone know what what happened to the our Flippac?

I talked to Jay @ Coach RV & Truck in Henderson, CO a Flippac dealer and he said they have not been able to reach FRP in several weeks. He understands the problem with replacement torsion bars. Said he is working with a Denver machine shop over the next few days. I told him there could be orders...

My second torsion bar has now broken as of yesterday when doing some checks prior to a trip. Last one was installed April 2015. I tried to call FRP for the last two days. 800 number has been taken out of service and 951 number just rings. This sounds like the end of bad service is at hand. I...

torsion bar My first bar lasted 4 years. Last year I replaced the bar after many calls to FRP and waiting about two months. Yesterday I went out to check out truck prior to trip - broken bar again. What is more distressing is I was unable to reach FRP. Telephone is not working on 800 or 951...

I have mostly a love relationship with my 5 year old flippac - hated it when we drove to Padre Island to camp and found a broken torsion bar. Story is on the torsion bar thread. It has been used a lot in MN, Canada, Alaska so the broken torsion bar was all rusty,the aluminum cover does nothing...

Confirming what Arclight said, Schroeder can't do the bar from broken one I sent in. I didn't get any other info from Gary other than it's not what they do. He doesn't know who else to talk with about getting bars made - must be an offshore source he said. As stated the 90 twist is extreme and...

The broken bar I shipped to Schroeder has been received. Gary - the owner is on vacation till Tuesday. Person I talked with said they will look at then. My guess is they would be willing to make these, especially if we can get some quantities. I will talk with him then to see if we can proceed.

I talked with Gary at Schroeder today - owner I believe. He said to ship him a bar and said he would prefer a broken one so he can do some tests that may be damaging. Mine broke on passenger side next to splines. The Tacoma bar is just over 5 feet. I don't know what the length on the full size...

So it warmed up today to 20 F and I got the bar installed. Did the wife in the second floor window procedure - worked very slick. Once top is vertical just some mallet taps on passenger side gets splines engaged. Lowered with some trepidation but all is well and hope the bar lasts. Someone...

Truck:02 Tacoma Flippac: purchased new March 2010 Torsion bar: broke October 2014 after moderate use (30times) Torsion bar 2: purchased in November 2014 after 14 weeks it was delivered - not installed yet

Greetings from Tom - Midwest Overland Society (MOS), My Flippac was installed in March of 2010 and bar broke in October of 2014. As I mentioned in my previous post, torsion bar came last week - minus the cover tube which was ordered at the same time Have not installed yet because of weather...

So I got my bar after 14 weeks last Tuesday - looks not to be of consistent diameter? I was thinking this will snap at that narrowed area - I'm sure it won't last. As the recent post from mattj stated his new one snapped. I don't know what good it is to talk with those folks as they really...

These stories are all so Kafkaesque - read one of his books. It's all the same - call later, 8 weeks out for a bar, then's it's 4 to get your hopes up, talk with the Diane who will talk to the boss about giving you a break on the price to replace a part they never bothered to fix - that has a...
