Someone is going is up for great deal, I have the esentially same setup on 02 Tacoma with S/C with 195K. It has been everywhere - Alaska, Rockies trails, Newfoundland/Labrador, Canadian woodland trails. This size truck is ideal for offroading/camping. Flippac should be a classic!

Is this a 4 season camper with systems built for freezing conditions

That's why the Flippac is so great for bushwhacking and forest trails. Don't see $100K rigs having fun in the woods. I have replaced two torsion bars, the rear window, and finally got a rain fly that actually works. Even tho the Habitat from AT is twice the cost of my Flippac they still are...

Great stuff, missed who made bumper

Still looking to sell?

Samualashirley, This is a great post, so many have asked themselves the same questions. I have been researching and looking at vehicles and camping options to replace my Tacoma/Flippac. This overland build has enabled so many opportunities to experience North American travel adventures. I want...

SAW torsion bar I think I received the first bar made by SAW. It was a little tight fit, but it was so pretty painted red and all I knew it would work. My first replacement bar from FRP looked like something from a Russian steel works (lasted about four cycles) , visually the diameter was...

xp still for sale

ZR2 I think this will be great alternative to my 02 Tacoma with Flippac. I question only the load capacity of the ZR2 for hitting the back country with a full load of overland equipment.

Trailer vs truck camper This story just keeps repeating. Good camping

flippac torsion bar Sway-A-Way does make the bar, and I installed mine 2 months ago and it works fine. I appreciate that so many Flippac owners will be able to extend the life of this great camper. I hope someone will grab on to this concept and truly redesign and rectify some design flaws...

What a beautiful vehicle - too clean for me. I am in MN and my Tacoma build on a CA Tacoma looked like crap after 1 week - I am a driver that wants to have some dirt on the truck. Is this still available?

Long live Flippac I am so glad to see this kind of question. I believe the Flippac will be recognized as iconic in overland lexicon. Mine is on a 1st gen but am struggling with getting something with more amnesties for future trips. But I keep looking at the big rigs and remember all the...

It's a bit stiffer and that where you probabaly want to start from

Installed new SAW Bar Had some time on a beautiful fall day in the North Country and put the new bar in from Sway-A -Way. This is the second bar I've replaced so I knew what to expect. Top up in vertical with rope and supports to keep the lid arms aligned after knocking out the old/new bar from...
