I am the owner - cross posting my truck here.
If this ad is still up, it is still for sale.
This is a lower mileage (136,xxx miles) Toyota Tundra Access Cab with the iForce V8 engine and 4wd with a few add-ons to make it really good as a budget overlander or general fun weekend truck. The going price for a Flippac is $3500-5000 and the upgrades I've put on it total about $6000, maybe more.
Here's the main thing this truck is good at:
You can fit bikes and gear inside the 6.5' bed easily, but it's not a large or long truck so it is still easy to park, navigates narrow trails, and offroads well. The Flippac allows you to camp basically anywhere and maximize dispersed camping around here. Sunrise in the desert from the Flippac is always amazing. The dual battery system allows you to run lights, charge your phone at night and best of all, you can run a Dometic Fridge for days without killing your main battery. We've done road trips where we backpacked for 2 days and came back to cold beers and turkey sandwiches with NO melted ice problems you get with coolers. It's got a renowned engine and Toyota engineering, plus road trip friendly creature comforts like heated leather seats, Apple Car Play, and tinted windows.
Here are the main features:
- 4wd with limited slip rear diff (better for towing and offroading)
- limited trim means power doors, windows, power sliding rear window, center console, leather seats, stereo controls on steering wheel, etc.
- icon 2.5” shocks front and 2" rear with higher weight springs in the front (700lb) and rear add a leaf
- lift is set to about 1.5"-2" in front to allow BFG KO2 All Terrain tires on, tire size is max that will fit on factory wheels and lift is minimized to reduce driving impacts. If you wanted to drop the lift, you could with smaller tires, or if you wanted to go to the full 3", you'd probably want to do bigger wheels and tires (why not?!). I felt like this was the sweet spot, still good road manners for road trips but good clearance for getting to cool campsites.
- upgraded Kenwood DDX6703S touchscreen stereo with Apple car play, wired for steering wheel controls and modified to allow stereo operation when vehicle is moving (default is that the touchscreen is disabled while in any gear but park)
- partially installed upgraded door speakers - Infinity Kappa 60.11cs and Infinity Kappa 62.11i (no amp and sub due to limited space but it would be an easy add on)
- Rhino Liner bed lining professionally installed
- Viper Alarm with remote start, works up to a mile away from what over heard so you can start the truck from the ski lift and it’ll be warm when you get there
- Trailer Brake for towing with 7 pin wiring
- Aftermarket heated seats - they are position switches so they come back on with remote start
- Flippac camper and wiring to turn on interior lights. This camper is amazing and unparalleled for interior space, ease of use, and low weight. I will seriously miss how much interior space this provides and that you can set it up in less than 2 minutes (almost as fast as a GFC but twice the space). These can also be hard to find. (I'm the original owner, this is the second truck this camper has been on) Comes with rain fly from Flippac and some spare parts. Mostly it's in good shape, window screens have small holes but still keep bugs out, could use a little TLC but generally great shape for it's age and should be trouble free for many more years. I recently redid the side window sealing, I would recommend doing the front window too.
- Offgrid engineering copy-cat dual battery system with two new AGM batteries and voltage booster Fuse to correctly charge the AGM batteries at the right voltage. Since the truck has been sitting I am installing brand new AGM batteries asap. Looks like they no longer have
- Dark tinted windows
- I haven't priced it out, but I have a Dometic CFX45 Fridge/Freezer with fabric insulated cover that I'd also sell with the truck, this is a $900 fridge with $150 insulated cover but we can work out a deal
- Currently the truck has a 3/4" plywood platform bolted into the bed and a 72" locking drawer slide I built for storing bikes inside (I don't like hitch racks for bike cleanliness and security) - I don't think this is really worth much $$$ but I can include it if you would use it.
- probably other stuff I'm missing
Condition Notes (I'm actively working to fix theses, so this list will change and price may go up as the post stays up)
- this truck never was or is cosmetically perfect, and I don't think that if you use this truck the way it was built that those issues will matter to you
- Viper alarm key fob case broke, I will get a replacement soon since you need to go to a Viper dealer and can't just order one online
- back seats are not currently installed (plywood seat-delete in place for storage and the fridge)
- flippac right rear window is plexiglass, not tempered glass due to neighbor kids breaking it. It can be replaced with glass if you prefer the look but basically you'll need to send a template to a glass cutting shop that can make tempered glass replacements.
- torsion bar is in good shape, I think I got this Flippac before they messed up the heat treat and had issues with them breaking. You can read all about that on the internet. There is some surface oxidation but it has never been a problem.
- truck paint could use a detail, same with Flippac, both look dull. Truck has some rust spots, rear bumper, but per the Toyota Dealers I've gone to, they say it's in great shape. Maybe a little more elbow grease if you do your own work but I was concerned about this and got told by shops it wasn't a real issue
- CV joints are starting to show wear and will need to be replaced soon
- I have most records and manuals but not all due to some oil changes being done at home
- truck has been sitting with low use (100 miles a month max) for the last year, so needs an oil change.
- flippac comes the handle to deploy it
- flippac tent is overall good shape for its age, some screens damaged as a result of how the tent folds while it stows
- flippac shell leaks when you blast it at a car wash. The main window butyl seals are new so not from that but instead the main lid seal and the seals built in to the window frame. I have some seals to replace the factory seal but not the time. Overall I think a little RV grade RTV would fix any leaks you’d actually see from rain.
