    I had originally been saving for a Flippac from AT for years, then when I was ready to order they stopped dealing with FRP. Around that time when I called they gave me a hint that they were working on something else, so I just kept waiting. It's been a long time coming even just to get to this point.

    How do you go about cleaning your undercarriage? Ive been rolling under there on a creeper with a wash mitt and a bucket of dawn soap n water. I get soaked and my eyes know how dawn tastes. There has to be an easier way to get all the details and im wondering what you do

    For mine, I use simple green. 3:1 ratio and just soak the living shit out of the underbody. Then blast it with a pressure washer to get the main gunk off. After it's mostly dry, use aerospace 303 and go over everything to give it a nice sheen.

    Good luck! Do you use it in place of simple green or 303?

    I hear ya, tried to sort out a few different solutions until I came across the FlipPac and it just solved most everything. We have a few more vehicles added to our garage that we like to take out exploring and I finally gave in to my wife and bought a Kimberley Kamper trailer. We She opted for the Platinum model of course. Just did the video tour with Brett and waiting on Bruce to tell me what ship it will be on so I can buy a tracking subscription.



    I still want to look at a Habitat for the Tacoma.

    After i wash everything down and take it for a spin to dry it off i use the bare bones as a dressing. Its oil based and seems to resist dirt pretty well. Ive also heard of using 3 parts atf with 1 part diesel as dressing/ protectant and it last much longer

    Hmmm, interesting. Have you ever used 303? It works extremely well. I also use it as a tire dressing because it's not overly shiny or greasy. It's a fantastic all around plastic/leather/rubber/anythingandeverything cleaner

    I use 303 on all exterior and interior plastic as well as the headlights to prevent yellowing. Ive never used it as an undercarriage or engine bay dressing but I'll give it a shot

    a bunch of new/used parts....and some skids.
    @juiced03 How do you like your bedslide? I'm designing my truck bed drawer system and this would be the time to add a bed slide to the top if its worth it.
