How did the wildernest hinge open. Anyone? Anyone?

Interesting. And you say you can lift the top yourself? Back on the torsion bar replacement. Tried to remove the bushing with the set screw in it today. It was in a stroke of genius ness or laziness installed with set screw facing up towards the sky, and the rain. Which have led to a rusted out...

I got my replacement bar in November. I lost track of how long I waited....9 months I think. I haven't installed yet but hopefully will be tackling it this weekend. I've also been wondering about putting some type of flexible viscus rubber over the bar. Flex Seal or something. Oh and I paid...

update Just now seeing these responses (my email junk filter works too well for it's own good) Wanted to give you guys and anyone else out there an update. I had already mounted the Thule artificial rain gutters in place so am hemmed into using a conventional rack system for rain gutters...

Thanks bro. Checked out your rig and I got to say, I like your style. Felt like I was staring at a twin brother I didn't know I had. I even use similar yellow top bins. They're great! Yep the rack on the FlipPac...many questions asked about it and not much reported. I had to do it though. I'm...

Update I've now tried the Thule 300 387 and 953 feet with the artificial rain gutter. The only one that will work with the FlipPac design is the 953. If I had know I was going to have to use such a high foot I would have mounted the rain gutters beneath the lid on the side wall. So there you...

Anyone out there using Thule or Yakima for their FlipPac? Wondering if you've run into my problem or have any better solutions than I've come up with. I installed Thule's artificial rain gutters into the FlipPac lid, along the side, 9 inches from each end according to FRP's recommendations. I...

FRP provides a warranty? Interesting. I've had a Thule quick release set up (with the artificial rain gutter) for a year waiting to install on my flip-pac. Now if only I could get the damn thing open...torsion bar break and no replacement from FRP.

This is probably a dumb question, but how is the torsion bar for the Flip-Pac different than a torsion bar for suspension?

So let me get this straight. You've been waiting for a torsion bar for the last seven months, I've been waiting for over six months, and I know by FRP's own words that there are a handful of others waiting. It's kind of a no-brainer here. 1. If so many people are having trouble with the bar (as...

$$$ maybe. I checked with Mario at AT and he said they use a different bar (I think). not familiar with Ursa Minor. Do they use a torsion bar for there Element camper. No right? That probably opens like a Westie? I don't know...I think I may be looking at a custom fabrication job, but who...

Flip Pac, Don't do it! OK. I've really had it. Just called Flip Pac again, and again I've gotten the run around. They've given me the same excuse they always do, "we didn't get the torsion bars in this week, but are expecting them next week. You should call back then". I reminded them that I've...

Everyone, thank you for posting your experience replacing the torsion bar. Abeaudin1971, big thanks to you for posting the step by step. It's been a long time since I've monitored this post because I've been patiently waiting for my torsion bar replacement. Without the bar there's not much I...

Hey guys I've had my FlipPac for about 2 1/2 years. It hasn't been used in the past six months and the other day I went to install a rack on the top, and noticed the torsion bar looked like it had snapped. It appears (check out the photo) that perhaps there was water penetration into the casing...

OK. Great to know. So the steel tubing runs end to end...and I guess you can just drill right through to the interior and put some type of washer/load spreader on the side interior wall? I've looked at Thule's site and don't see a tower/feet that looks like they could mount laterally into the...

I haven't seen a dedicated thread to this subject yet (just bits here and there). Has anyone successfully mounted a rack system to the top of a Flip Pac? I want to transport a kayak and/or surfboards on top. I contacted FPR yesterday and they said best place for the mounts are on the side (of...
