Of course there is a China copy for $78. Quality an unknown? http://www.cascadedepot.com/servlet/the-197/Anodized/Detail

I think the most dangerous issue with overloading is the tires. That is what is going to give you the most grief and you are on the right track with the load range E.

The fire was way south of the Sedalia/Sprucewood area. No worries. A few quotes on the Bucksnort: "The super narrow, winding road that keeps the city folk away. The deck that hangs perilously like an adolescent loose tooth over the creek. The view of a tiny cabin built on a rock. The lack of...

Google Rampart Range Trail maps. You will need a map as there are bike trails all over down there. We used to go in at Sedalia and unloaded near the Sprucewood Bar. Great riding and trails that go on and on. The Sprucewood is also good for after bike libations as is the Bucksnort Saloon. Both...

The day I picked my 2012 Hawk I took it to the scales and it was 1340 pounds dry, empty and jacks off. Options: dual batteries, furnace, 110L compressor frig, Fanastic fan, second vent, arctic pac, fluorescent lights and screen door. I haven't reweighed fully loaded but I would think WELL over...

The entry door on my old Grandby looked like that after 15 some years and finally it just collapsed/disintegrated. I had it replaced with a new one but I have no recollection of what it cost. When the door does go it is sudden and ugly so be forewarned. Any cracks in the camper skin around the...

Thanks guys for the info. With the new FWC web site I can't seem to find the option prices. Don do you recall what the factory charged for struts and install?

Captain, I was wondering if, in actual use, you think the struts intrude into access or use of the upper bunk? It looks like you could clothesline yourself in the dark while clambering out? I don't really care for the look of the exterior struts so I hope the interior version is user...

Here are two posts about bed liner material on campers: post #11 post #2 You could pm him to see how it is holding up long term?

How about using the do it your self truck bed liner material on it? I seem to remember another member here doing that. I have thought about doing that or even having a LineX spray on done. I love the LineX in my truck bed.

I used the tripods (from a rental place) for years. At first they had a set of three and that seemed marginal but then they only had two and that was down right scary. My truck had a 4" lift and 35' tires so I had to place 4x4s under the jacks to get it high enough. Add in a slightly inclined...

I mount mine to the garage floor/corner. I HATE my hi-lift and generally want nothing to do with it.... That cracked me up! Have to say I feel the same way. I dragged around my 5' model around for 20 some years and never once used it. I have two of them mounted in the same place as Ha Ha. :)...

I was disappointed with the mileage on my last set of BF AT. 32,000 on a set of 35x12.50x16.5. My new truck came stock with Michelin LTXs. Hopefully they will last a lot longer.

I thought about LineX spray on bed liner but haven't done anything yet. Have seen some use diamond plate.

James, Maybe this will help: WTW jack off

Or you could just buy a couple of AAA battery powered blinking red lights that would simulate an alarm and warn off would be thieves. Stick them inside where they are plainly visible to passerby. Like http://www.amazon.com/Auto-Theft-Deterrent-Light-Alarm/dp/B0003I92R6 I like this idea for...

Stan, care to elaborate on the "new table"? The only thing I don't care for on my new Hawk is the table setup. Any pictures of the new one? Upgradable to older campers? Lagun style mount?

Hello. Have a 2011 Eagle on a 2001 Tacoma, I'm interested in your idea of bolting camper down through the floor. What are the best hole placements, did you use plates, what # strength bolt did you use? That also would free up the space in the wheel area for a greywater tank or other such...

I can't speak to your Dodge 3/4, but my old 1983 Chevy K20 handled my previous Granby with no issues and absolutely no suspension modifications other than shocks. First time I have heard of suspension issues on a 3/4 ton of any brand with FWC campers. Update to the present with a new Hawk...

Denver Post article Interesting perspective from the sports columnist here in town who is also a FWC owner. Also some comments and background on Chris the new dealer in Denver.

I will second your thoughts on the new diesels. I went with the gas engine on my new truck and have been pleased. I went with the 3:73 gears. On the new GMs with the 6 speed auto the low gears are lower giving the equivalent of a 4:10 ratio that an older truck with the 4 speed auto had. I...

I just put my new Hawk on the the scales. It has the same options as yours plus the factory furnace and it came in at 1,300 pounds DRY and EMPTY with the jacks removed. I will be well over a ton loaded. These things are NOT that light with options. I highly recommend a 3/4 ton truck. I love my...

My dog is in love.

"......Eagle or bobcat with many amenities (will be doing month long trips)?" To me that means heavy and my vote would be a 3/4 ton of your favorite flavor. These campers when optioned out and loaded with gas, water, food, beer, dogs, waitresses, bikes, ammo, etc are not that light. This has...
