Lol, I would actually like a nice new tent in the, what is it....light gray color? One CAN have too much black I suppose.

I had big ideas of building the inside like a boat, textured fiberglassglass floor, nice shiny white fiberglass cabinets, shower, etc. I'm getting tired of itching and after those simple repairs it re-occurs to me how much work it is.

'Murdered out' gets me more looks and comments than I care to have. If I could do it over I would have left the truck as is when I got it.

I like the idea of the fiberglass, but it is exceptionally un-fun to work with. Cutting granite countertops with a glas backing left me without fingerprints for months. Still, that would be unique I think here on ExPo, I can't think of anyone who's glassed the inside of a camper from scratch.

I like the flat part, but my expo vehicle is going to be flat textured tan or OD.

What color was it?

Hey Flatblak, just wondering if you have made any progress on the camper since your move. I also have a 99 Frontier, and i have started looking for a Flippak myself. :coffeedrink:

Just read this and I must say amazing work. I think the FP on the rear looks awesome and after you get a spare tire rack and finish out the inside, it will really be a nice rig to roam in.

You mentioned running that compressor off of a 2kw inverter, you may need to go back and double check your numbers but I don't think it will work. I tried a similar plan running a 1hp 3gal craftsman small compressor off a Cobra 1500w inverter and it just wouldn't cut it. The initial surge was too much. Wouldn't want you to make the same mistake.

Very cool that the toolbox fit inside the FP. That's something I'm missing with my pop up truck camper is having to take my box out and tailgate off. That should make a great double duty bench seat and storage box inside. Also, 11.5" under that toolbox is about a perfect size for milk crate storage. :sombrero:

I have not made any progress since moving. I'm actually thinking about selling it, no time money or dirt. I travel the world for a living and just got back from a 7 week trip in Alaska. The last thing I want to do right now is take a vacation into the wilderness. lol

If anyone is interested shoot me an email. I am located in Miami FL, 500 bucks takes it with the Hi-Lift.

Shifting gears again. This truck will be on ebay soon. I traded my 300ZX to drive this truck and am looking to buy a new Z. My friend who owns the truck wants to sell it to buy my old Z so we are going to put it on ebay tonight. I will be driving the truck back to VA for my vacation on the 2nd and after the auction is over the truck will be available for pickup in Va Beach VA. Anyone interested before auction ends let me know. I will be travelling up I-95 from Miami so cash offers could get free delivery. I don't know what it's worth, money talks. We are going to leave the flip-pac on it as well as everything else, stereo, recovery accessories, etc. Lots of extras! :wings:
