Attaching Exo 5500 bag to Kifaru frame

[mk_v]

I searched to see if I could find anybody that has done it. I got to try on a kifaru pack and really liked the fit of the frame, it was so comfortable! The exo I had was my favorite bag layout that I have personally used. So my question if I ordered the new Kifaru ultralight frame would I be able to attach the 2015 exo 5500 bag? And if so would I still be able to utilize having the meat pack between the frame and the bag by using the meat shelf?
Couldn't find a answer when I searched so thought I would throw it out there and see if someone has done it.
Thanks!

Not sure if the bag would attach to the frame, but the new frames have some loops where a load shelf could attach. Check out some of the videos of the new frame.

I saw that, looks pretty good.
Thanks

Yes I did it with the EXO 3500 and bikini frame. You will need to cut off the EXO buckles and get itw nexus buckles from mil-spec monkey. The buckles that EXO uses are not compatible with the ITW nexus buckles Kifaru uses. Other then that it is pretty straight forward swap.

I didn't love the EXO bag so ended up selling it, so no pics.

I don't think you would have any issue getting the EXO bag to work on the new frame but just so you know the EXO is pretty much a copy of the Kifaru Timberline bag other then the timberline has two back pockets vs the one on the EXO and instead of a side zip it is a bottom zip.

A variation on the now popular Exo-on-Kifaru thread, but has anyone tried to attach the Crib Load Panel to the hunting duplex (or any other Kifaru frame for that matter). Seems like a fair and cost-effective compromise between a grab-it and cargo panel. Also, it might be an interesting day-hunt combination with the 1500 Horn Hauler and/or the 'Slurpy Stalker' water bladder carrier.
