The hanging rack looks like something from a pop up camper. I've seen them at the rv show. Could also use a shoe organizer

 

Edit: never mind, just saw that it’s “unavailable”.

Isn’t this it? https://www.amazon.com/Tailgaterz-Hang-N-Haul-Organizer/dp/B00UBF7MUK

 

yep that's it. I've got one too and my action packer looks very much like @inv3ctiv3 minus the dividers. I just pile everything in and call it good. I like to use cast iron out there so I get even heat off of the propane burner.

I picked one up from Autoanything.com a year or so ago and just used it for the first time while exploring The Mojave Road last week. The bag made kitchen/cook duty easy and organized!

 

Hey fellas, is there a u bolt flip kit that will work with a darker leaf pack install?

 

Anyone checkout camping world? They probably have one. But watch they're markup on stuff.

 

Well I used search and found those but nothing says the length? Don't they have too be longer than stock to account for the extra leaves? Leafs? Pieces of spring steel?

 

I am using those with my Dakars. I did remove the top OL, but there is still enough room it seems for the entire pack.
I bet Marie would know.

Oooooo yea. I bet she will respond soon.

 

This is the kit I used with my Deaver pack. I have yet to roll the rear axle under the cab, so...

 

I see what you did there.

 

I used the same flip kit with stock leaves and headstrongs three leave AAL pack. The bolts were more than long enough.

 

Ha ha

 

They are long enough for any aftermarket leaf pack. With a Dakar you will probably have to cut off 2" of threads. Don't forget you need new bumpstops when using a flip kit.

 

Yeah I been looking at bump stops but which are best?

 

Running timbrins on mine and they have done well for me.

 

Back to Death Valley – Day 4, 5 – Steel Pass & Eureka Dunes
​

... A couple hours after falling asleep just north of
Saline Valley Warm Springs, I was awoken by what
I initially thought was a gunshot in my dream. But,
with the valley still echoing, I soon realized it was no dream.​

If you go with the all-pro u-bolt flip you can get the top plates pre-tapped for timbrins and its a simple swap to better bumps.

 

The Timbrin are supposed to be really good. I have the wheelers bumps and they have been really nice too. You don't even notice it when you hit the stops at all. They are cheaper than Timbrins but I can't speak to how they compare.
