    Flippac build-out

    They do still show up. It's too bad production couldn't have simply restarted with the tooling from FRP.

    1st Gen Tundra Flippac - Novice Build Advice

    Here is my build thread from a couple of years ago. I have a T100 (same bed as your Tundra) and a Flippac. I designed a lightweight interior from thin-wall 1/2" square steel tubing and 1/2" plywood. There is a full-length bench seat/storage chest and drawers+crates on the right. I left a 30"...

    WTB 1st gen Tundra

    That truck is in my opinion, the perfect size for a family/couple's off-road vehicle. You can sleep in the 6.5' bed comfortably and still park it, unlike the GEN2 Tundra. Given the prices y'all are reporting, I don't feel too bad for buying a clean T100 and rebuilding the motor.

    Increasing Tacoma Payload Capacity?

    If you think your T100 is getting too tired and in need of work, consider going with a GEN1 (2008 or before) Tundra. It's basically the same truck with a V8 and a third door. At up to 10 years newer, it will be a lot easier to find one in acceptable condition.

    New hinge kits for your FlipPac will be available shortly from Sway-A-Way

    FYI, you could probably weld a piece of scrap to the broken hinge to get it out next time.

    I would still consider the topside paint. I restored the fiberglass on my 1978 Bronco, and it looked almost factory. Plus you can always sell white shell. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/interlux--brightside-one-part-polyurethane-paint--P004_121_002_006?recordNum=1 Arclight

    Recommendations needed for battery cable connectors between truck and camper

    If you need something skinnier than an Anderson Power Pole, you might want to visit your local welding shop. They have single-pole connectors for wire 4 gauge and up. Arclight

    If you don't mind white, visit a West Marine or similar store and get their 2-part topside paint. You can apply it with a sprayer or an extra-fine foam roller, and it looks pretty good. It's a special paint used for painting the fiberglass on boats that is above the water line. Just prep it...

    I'd get the center console. It's a pretty snug fit with the seats. I'd also pick up any AC vents, interior and dashboard trim and other small items you might be missing. The cup holder in the dashboard is also prone to breakage. Arclight

    What is an "Arsenal"

    You have an arsenal if you own a facility for the making of weapons. If you have a locker or room with some guns in it, then you have an armory. If your facility includes a dedicated place to store ammunition, powder or pyrotechnics, that would be a magazine.

    Inflatable Kayaks

    I would agree with the above. I've tried paddling around the bays here with an inflatable. You'll spend a LOT of energy fighting the wind and going very slowly in one.

    FlipPac Hinge Broke - Solutions?

    If you're really hosed, you might be able to get it welded, FYI.

    Can someone cut me a FlipPac hinge set (or more)?

    Suggestion: If the splines didn't blow out, you might be able to get a new bit fabricated and welded on. This would get you back on the road. This thing takes a lot of force, so you really want to have a 100% penetration weld done, and control the heat so as not to ruin the treatment on the...
