Kifaru Guide Lid on an EXO?

[Elkoholic87]

Has anyone tried this?

 

[SHTF]

Yes

Works fine but you need an extra set of straps to attach it to the front of the pack. I had Steve send me an extra set for mine setup that's a Kifaru frame also the the Exo bag is on.

Yo SHTF, are you still using just the carabiners for the back of the lid to bag? I'de like to get the correct clips from steve, just don't know which ones to get.

Just tell him I hooked up your pack on the Kifaru Frame. He will send you a set of straps. its the same ones that works on the front of the exo bags. I looked it around the frame sleeve and into itself the remaining you use for your buckle that hooks into the lid buckle. Call me if you need a picture. Can hook it up and show you. Your still using the Exo Lid aye?

Can email Steve Speck <[email protected]>

Ya man!! Exo lid with my cargo panel was about perfect. But got sick of messing with the carabiners all the time. SInce archery ended on the 1st, i really dont need the cargo panel and camp bag anymore. All those clips drive me nutz!! So its back to the EXO 3500 and I'm excited to use it again. If you can send me a pic when you have time, that would be great. You know how handy I am with these. Actually you would be proud of me, i learned a lot. HA! You da man

Will break it out later today and snap a photo for you. i really didnt plan to seperate bag from frame on mine so just ran my straps through the sqaure connector at the top of the frame then slapped a buckle to that to attach lid. It only gets complicated if your wanting to keep your bag and lid attached together and putting a load between frame and bag. Will hook you up in a bit.

That's the part that got me scratchin my head. I forgot how the orig Exo lid was attached. Any pics you get would be cool. Only if it's not a problem. Thanks

I asked for extra lid straps when I order the pack but received nothing. I hastily cut the back buckles off my lid last night and used biners. It will work fine except for when pack and extended collar are full. Lid will not be able to extend up and over?
