    FlipPac Tent Install

    I cannot comment on most of your Q's as I've never had mine off completely... One thing I'd recommend longer rivets that they originally used... on one of mine they started to pull out... come to find they were only riveted into the fiberglass and not the steel tubing just under the fat layer...

    Flippac (5.5 foot) for Sale

    Hello.... is this brand new (or as brand new as can be since they went out of biz last October-ish)... to re-phrase: What year was this built. Also is that just the photo, or to me it looks like the rear window door frame is bent? Rain fly included? You say the front support poles are missing...

    Thin-Lite fluorescent to (white and red) LED conversion for less than $10

    Here is my second LED conversion - on this one I have "two" rows of white LED's (actually one continuous strip up one side, across, and down the other). I would say this is the perfect balance. The one strip of red is plenty for night vision and two strips of white is not quite as bright as the...

    Flippac Help Needed

    Yes, that is an extreme example of the structural tubing failing due to rust.... yuck, anything is "fixable"... but not a job I'd want to do! I'm wondering if sleeving the tubing would not be an option if this were to happen... the hinge uses shims to make a tight fit and the tubing is only .065...

    Flippac Help Needed

    I think you are probably OK especially if you have the 8' long version... the main issue is RUST. You should dig out the old sealant and apply new high quality sealant. Also, as mentioned see if the hinge bolts are tight - and don't break them off! Bolts are located inside, you need to open it...

    Flippac Help Needed

    Hi Jdavenport, It would be helpful to have a few more pictures fron slightly further away and a photo of he whole shell. A critical thing: Is this a full length FlipPac or one that has an overhang over the cab? If it has an overhang you may well be concerned as I have seen that style fail...

    Thin-Lite fluorescent to (white and red) LED conversion for less than $10

    EDIT: If you scroll down, I have modified my second light and it is even better than this first one ;-) I've been converting everything I can light wise to LED to cut down on battery usage... since I use my lights a fair amount they were on my hit list... My van, Ford E-350 Quigley with mild...

    Problems installing Swayaway torsion bar in flippac

    Sorry, just seeing this. The low down - looks like the original splines on the FlipPacs are all the SAME... earlier I eluded to the notion that there may be two different types - not the case, it is simply a question of tolerances. The SAW torsion bar DOES have a slightly different type of...

    Front end "alignment" on Quigley 4x4

    I've had my Quig 4x4 for a couple monnths now... it ha a slight pull to one side, not bad, but I'd like to get it aligned. Looking at the front end configuration I'm not seeing a lot that can be adjusted. is the toe and centering of the steering wheel about the only thing they can adjust on a...
