haha I think we're equal opportunity pop-up shell lovers here

That's funny, I saw a guy with a silver Frontier yesterday with a Flip-Pac and his shell had broken there too. I never saw anyone else with one until I got mine and now I've seen like four in the past week.

Awesome, thanks. I was guessing it would be close to the same age as my truck

I think every 4Runner 85 and later has EFI but I know some trucks had carbs until at least 87 (I have one).

And I thought I was the only one with the barn doors in the back of a flip pac. Do you know how long ago they came like that? I've been wondering just how old my shell is. Here's the thread in question if anyone wants to see the pictures...

Met with ntsqd (great guy btw) today and it looks like the Flip Pac is fixable! I've got finals next week so I'll be starting the disassembly after that when I've got more free time.

Looking good man. How much more light do those guys throw on the road?

Things are looking up for the time being. ntsqd has been nice enough to offer to help me fix this so hopefully I'll be able to add some more good news to this thread soonish.

Do you plan to take any trips in the middle of building your truck? What I'm asking about is if you put the suspension on first, would you be going out and potentially damaging your truck on some trails or would you have time to get the armor installed before taking it out? If not, do the...

Currently I have the flip ratchet strapped down so it should be fine for the drive back to socal tomorrow. I ended up using the crank to twist the torsion bar enough to let me get the strap tight enough to work. It looks like I would have the replace the entire metal piece inside the flip in...

Bad news guys, the Flip Pac died last Wednesday. I was opening it to show my friend's dad and the hinge ripped out of the shell. Apparently the sealant had been missing around the hinges long enough for the metal parts inside the shell to completely rust through. I guess its better it broke...

You also need to run one wire from your coil to the back of the tach for it to work

Ah, nice and clean. I like it way better without the wheels being so far sucked in

Ah gotcha. Glad to hear the swap will work out just fine :)

I hate to be a killjoy but I don't think a car engine in a truck is smog legal here in CA. Does that fly if the vehicle in question is an SUV and not a pick-up?

Cool, thanks for the info

Haha, I can see myself doing that. I've been keeping it behind my seat in the cab when I'm not using it to avoid such situations. I had to next day air the crank so after shipping it only cost like $15 less than my entire Flip Pac :)

Awesome, that's just what I needed to know. Is this all the Nuvis or just the higher end ones?

Is it possible to input tracks and waypoints into the Nuvis everyone is using?
