I've searched for this but couldn't find it. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks - dman93

I have similar parts on order, but went with 1/2" quick disconnects from McMasterCarr - bigger is better, right? Parts should be here in time for the install this weekend. I flipped mine open for the first time this weekend using the garage wall and second -story window method described in other...

OK, this thread has been quiet so I'll respond to the first question. My recently-acquired but quite old Flip-Pac had the original lights which looked to be clean and un-damaged, but neither light worked. They had power and good bulbs. A little disassembly revealed a very hokey sliding mechanism...

Any likelihood of replacement torsion bars and associated hinge parts???? I still haven't ordered my replacement ... -dman93

Been thinking about doing something like that with my FlipPac .... -dman

Mine came with the zero-cost-optional broken torsion bar, so it's never been flipped. Still undecided on whether to invest the dollars in the parts (need a crank handle also). Taking it on its maiden camping trip tomorrow. Anyway, here is the un-Flipped-Pac on my T100:

I recently bought my first pickup in 20 years (owned them for 12 years before) and really enjoyed the unencumbered feel driving it around. Then I picked up a cheap FlipPac and immediately questioned the choice. It's big and ugly. But honestly, after a few weeks I don't even notice it's there...

That's right Mike, but the folks who bypass the torsion bar replace the wimpy hood struts with sturdier supports (3/4-7/8" tubing or EMT) that rest on the ground or bumper.

I've seen some of the torsion bar alternatives posted here. I'm a new FP owner (new owner, old F-P) with a broken bar and missing the handle, and the cost of the parts is high and lead time long. I removed the bar and installed bolts and bushings as pivots, but haven't yet made a handle/support...

Resurrecting this thread .... as I have a line on a used FP for a very good price but it almost certainly needs a torsion bar. I only pushed it up a few inches from closed position (no crank) to check the fabric, which seems good, but the aluminum tube over the torsion bar is cracked in the...
