On the other hand that's an easy way to open it when the torsion bar fails :)

The top front of the Flip-Pac shell is much stronger than the rear, where there's a large opening for the lift gate. So with the current shell design, a reversed flip could cause problems as the torsion bar feeds a lot load into the shell when it's fully open or fully closed, even worse than the...

California doesn't require the bi-ennial smog check for the first five years of a new vehicle's registration renewal. Each example you give is five years. It has nothing to do with meeting future standards.

T100's Jeremiah and Bimmeryota ... it's nice to see some T100's here. I'm not sure I've posted mine on this thread. Dman_93 '97 T100 3.4 AT with FlipPac

This. Especially (at least where I live) the typical, used Gen 2 Taco has 100k miles, a few tasteless mods, no maintenance records and is being sold (asking) at 80% of new price).

Thanks - I found the Toyota chart of configs and pricing. There's certainly been a lot of criticism but honestly, Toyota has a winning formula of incremental improvement balanced by some cost-savings, which may also be considered cheapening. It's no different with Camry, Corolla, etc. for the...

The spec sheets list crawl control on TRD OffRoad only, but the video shows a DCLB, which I thought wasn't t available in TRD OffRoad. What's the scoop?

Flip-Pac

I'm a parent of two kids now grown. Obviously a good used deal skews the price/quality balance, but we moved to low-end branded bikes when our kids grew to 24" size. By that age they would ride more, and keep up with (or beat us) in some technical single track situations and a better quality...

Peterbilt and Freightliner - aluminum bodywork for decades. Probably more sold in the U.S. annually than Audi A8's.

This looks like a very standard type of spring. The dimensions are of course almost certainly custom, but any industrial spring shop could clone it off of the broken sample. I bet if you measure it and make a simple drawing, you could shop it around. Or, as Arclight suggested, maybe even try to...

Ouch tacollie. Shoulder may be less pain than 2 busted bikes and truck wounds. But glad everyone is OK. I have been thinking about checking out the 2016 DCSB Taco when it's released, but one nice thing about the 6.5' bed on my T100 is that there's plenty of room inside for our two bikes (and...

I have been sitting around a lot lately so was checking this thread. Why am I sitting around? Because I broke my collarbone after going OTB on my MTB a week ago. Arm in a sling and almost zero range of motion for 6 weeks. Suddenly a T-Bar and crank would be pretty nice now; I think I could use...

It seems from what I read that the FWC is a quality product. The FlipPac, not so much. And the FlipPac requires do-it-yourself fitting out. But setting those two aspects aside, the FlipPac has more room if you want an empty shell to haul stuff, has just as much room for fitting seating, kitchen...

What is the current lead time and pricing (base, no options) for a new FlipPac? Short-short 5' bed if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I saw a blue one with FlipPac being parted out on Denver CL (in Castle Rock). It even has bucket seats in the right color and the ad says they're in very good condition but I expect shipping is prohibitive. I'll just be patient ...

California prices are higher than elsewhere, but if those seats were local and in my color I'd snap 'em up for $300, assuming foam and structure are good. By the way, I am seeing more and more T's running around. Went for a 3 hour bike ride the other day and saw at least 7. Prices seem to be...

Where did you find buckets, and how much ... if you don't mind me asking?

From your photo, it looks like the pin may align better if it's flipped 180 degrees. Then the angle may line up. On my truck. I have the pins facing forward, but I've seen other installs where they face backwards. The retention clips secure the struts either way, so it's not a big deal, though I...

Get in line!! These seem very rare. But if you find two sets, or a blue-gray set and you need a different color, PM me.
