    Sold: 2002 FlipPac with rain fly. Newly Added Bonus: FP Ramblings from a Long-Time Owner. Must read!

    Well, I hope it make the new owner happy even though I haven’t done much with it in a few years… BTW, I always thought that first fly was especially cool b/c of the color options we had. Always reminded me of the colors you might see on a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado…

    Sold: 2002 FlipPac with rain fly. Newly Added Bonus: FP Ramblings from a Long-Time Owner. Must read!

    Well, I got over some of my laziness to post a few pictures, mostly as a data point for other FP enthusiasts/buyers/sellers. Here is a picture of my fly (two windows and four vents) in the pouring down rain. It was cold, too. Stayed dry for three days in that thing. Day four and it started to...

    Make An Offer

    Yeah, this place has changed. Same thing happened on Advrider. It’s easy to be snarky sitting at your computer. Here a guy want to do some good for the community and gets flamed. Too bad. If you cannot use the stuff, no need to comment. Or you could politely request more information. Or offer...

    Sold: 2002 FlipPac with rain fly. Newly Added Bonus: FP Ramblings from a Long-Time Owner. Must read!

    It’s time to move on after many years of camping in my FP. Bought a Class C RV and prefer it to the FP. I must be getting old… I am selling at a very reasonable price for a few reasons: I want a quick, painless sale; it needs some love; I’m lazy. I helped SLO Sail develop the rain fly. So...

    Garage clean out!

    I sent you a PM yesterday re: the fairlead. I'll take it if shipping to 93420 isn't too much. It may even fit in a Priority mail envelope for $5. That Foxwing is a smokin' deal. I wish it were a passenger-side awning... Thanks, bb

    Womens Belstaff M/C Pants, Insulated, Pads. Sz10.

    I have this item up for sale on AdvRider, too. But I don't really like the snarkiness of that site. (It once was a good site, but has gotten out of control in recent years.) So, I will take any reasonable offer for this gear from you all. If nothing materializes in a few days, I'll put it up on...

    FS: Aerostich Arborwear M/C Pants. For a small person.

    Not sure if they still do it, but Aerostich once bought these pants from Arborwear and modified them for knee-pad inserts, making them into m/c pants. I had two pairs and wore the hell out of them. Got my wife a pair and she rarely used them. Whatevs. They are a great alternative to ATGATT as...

    Womens Belstaff M/C Pants, Insulated, Pads. Sz10.

    These are really legit pants in VG to excellent condition. We got them for my wife and she has never really used them. There are pads in the knees and hips. Otherwise, these are heavy and seem to be well insulated. All of the reflective material is in good condition...and that stuff is the first...

    Monteros on craigslist

    Seems to still be available. Spoke to the owner. Seems like a nice enough guy. If it's not popular among Montero guys, I don't want to risk buying it and not being able to unload it if I don't like it...

    Monteros on craigslist

    I'd make it a dog car. I think our dogs would love to have their own sliding windows in the back... Aside from that, I'd just use is as a trail rig for wheeling in the local mountains. I think you are inferring that it's not an expo-friendly vehicle. I agree. But it might make a good camping...

    Monteros on craigslist

    Should I buy (and possibly flip) '88 2-door, 4-cyl, 5-speed? How sought after are the Gen 1 Monteros? A neighbor has a 1988 2-door, 4-cyl, 5-speed for sale. <150k miles. It needs some work. Brakes, tune-up, chase some oil leaks. I was thinking of buying it, doing the repairs, and seeing how...
