Okay, so a client sent me a destroyed FILBE main bag, and a heavily modded Mystery Ranch RATS pack... So that I could surgically move the complete FILBE lid to the RATS pack, which was missing its original lid and had a 2" wide strip sewn around 3 sides to expand it along with more MOLLE in the extension. The lid replacement was the most difficult mod I've ever done... just due to all the layers and seam ripping of the area on which to attach the FILBE lid.

My mod to the previously modded RATS pack
Modded the FILBE lid to better conform to the RATS shape, and added 3rd buckle
Showing the new lid attachment area and removable stiffener rod
Option 1 for the two lid corner strap attachments
Option 2 for the same straps
New carry handle with D rings for extra gear lash points
Center strap attached to FILBE lid
