Mounting EXO 1800 to Kifaru Duplex

[sivart]

I have the duplex ordered. Will i need any attachments to attach my 1800 bag to the Kifaru frame?

You’ll need a bunch of ITX Nexus split SR buckles to attach it. EXO uses buckles that aren’t compatible with the ITX Nexus Kifaru buckles.

You can also order the exo buckles.
Rock lobster 1"
And split them like a kifaru buckle and just attach to the frame.

Or put exo rock lockster buckles on a pair of kifaru compression straps to attach to the frame.

This is what I did and it worked great

I think this is what I meant.

Yeah that way you’re not permanently modifying anything. Not even harming a buckle.

Yep thats definitely what I did.
Gots so many different things I forgot.
I know I took the exo buckles off the front of the lid and used auto locks.
But I can't remember why.

So I'll need the k clip compression kit from Kifaru?

Bungee Cords and Ratchet Straps. Lots of both.


But seriously....I attached my Exo bag with the K-Clip Compression Kit from Kifaru

i'm curious too.... what exactly needs to be ordered for this to work?

i'm gonna sell my metcalf and buy a duplex lite frame.... while i test it, using my exo 3500 bag is ideal, so if i don't like it i'm not too invested... if i do, i'll buy a kifaru bag

I love the Kifaru frame, but dislike their bags. Too heavy, and too difficult to convert to meat shelf. Trying to mesh the best of both worlds.

To mount just a back you need a k clip compression kit.
Four 1" rock lobster buckles.

To mount a lid you need 2 more straps.
Id suggest the exo lid straps as they have the one with the wire closure.
2 more rock lobster buckles.
