    Flippac's, why open forwards instead of sideways?

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone can provide any insight as to why Flippac's are designed to open forward over the hood of the truck, instead of sideways over the driver or passenger side? It seems like it would create a more useful floor plan and have essentially equal square footage. I am...

    Ok, so I have a Diehard Platinum Marine battery in my camping trailer. I also have a couple of old Optima Red Tops laying around that I'm hoping to revive by parallel charging with a good battery per Optima's website instructions.

    As some of you may know, I've been making great strides on my trailer build(Mobile Base Camp Build). I have arrived at the point in time where I must select shocks for this trailer. The airbags provide for 9.5" of travel, and I would like a shock to match that. I have bumpstops to limit up...
