    Flip Pac Parts

    Just saw this in the For Sale forum. I gather it is on CL in AR. Worth buying for parts? If you were to buy it and take the arm you needed, I'd be willing to take the rest for parts or to modify my FP to fit a smaller truck. Getting it from CO to CA might be an interesting trick, however. I'll...

    Best piece of kit for your rig........a Beagle!!!!!

    Mrs. McBee and I are flying on SWA from LAX to Philly Thursday. Not sure if the pup is small enough to fit under the seat...that's the only way SWA will allow a pet to fly. (SWA Pet Policy.) The cost is $75. Have not mentioned this to SWMBO, but we are both dog lovers and would do almost...

    The Original FlipPac Prototype?

    My FP has a build date and a S/N hand written on the rear window frame. May be useful to track not just this original FP but also other FP's. There are few enough of these around that there may be some value to future FP'ers to have the additional data. As you can see, mine is #7088, built in...

    Flip Pac Parts

    I presume you are having the work done b/c the arm ripped out of the lid? I have often felt that that arm should be considerably longer than it is. Have you considered making a custom one that, due to its greater length, would spread the load across a greater area and be less likely to rip out...

    cold weather and pop ups

    I have given some thought to insulting the FlipPac rain fly. I am not sure it would work, but it would give an extra layer between me and the elements. The rest of the FP is uninsulated. So, that is another issue altogether....to say nothing of the bed of the truck. But I do think an insulated...

    Best piece of kit for your rig........a Beagle!!!!!

    Good on you for taking him in (and keeping your cool in light of your simple request to keep this thread about finding the dog a good home). Think about how many people simply kept on driving. I just cannot bring myself to drive past a stray dog. It is usually a safe bet as they tend to run...

    SAR--Rescue of my friends

    A friend went hiking in Kings Canyon last week and failed to call in on time Saturday. His wife called the authorities and the search for them started Sunday morning. By Sunday evening they had found my friend Jim and his son. They had gotten off the trail, could not hike out, and hunkered down...

    SAR Vehicle Photos

    Little late to this party, but, after seeing this thread, I took pix of our two primary units during the last call-out. I am a probationary (for now) member of the San Luis Obispo County unit, which is attached to the sheriff's office. 683 (with porta-potty attachment) 1755--which is the...

    The Expedition Portal Great Selling Extravaganza! (We're selling Stuff, and Things)

    I am less frustrated by the pace of the extravaganza than I am by your apparent inattention to it. I did PM you a question but never heard back. Maybe you should hold off until you are ready to really pay attention to the process. Anything less obviously just whips up the ExPo masses until we...

    The Expedition Portal Great Selling Extravaganza! (We're selling Stuff, and Things)

    I was interested in the Rhino rack and asked on June 7 (and again in a recent PM) about the length of the cross-bars. No answer until somebody else asked and got an answer just recently. Then they sold. Hmmmm. If you respond to your buyers you might sell stuff more quickly. I would have bought...

    Hi Guys, This is actually going to Karl at SLO Sail and Canvas. It will fit his Ranger, and we will use it to prototype fun, new gadgets for the FP. I am thinking about some hanging storage bags for the interior. Maybe a privacy curtain for the middle bow. And I am really shooting for a...
