I've been using EBay since 1999 and PayPal a long time as well. Never once had an issue. Yes, you must read the fine print for each and every item you intend to buy or bid on. I have never had my credit card compromised with PayPal. But, I use 2 step authentication on each and every site...

Great setup. Perfect for the OBX!

Sweet Viair system! I'm envious! Hope you have better luck with the Staun deflators. I was never quite satisfied. I now use a simple ARB deflator. I have to watch the psi carefully as I deflate.

Hi Piddin! Welcome to WTW. I had a 2003 F-250 with a similar bed when I bought my 2015 FWC Hawk. Sean, a FWC dealer in WI, simply drilled and mounted the eye bolts in the curved surface. The fender washers conformed to the round bed. I never had an issue. Sean has an older F-350 7.3...

Problem with using regular silicone, it will break down very quickly under UV (sun) light. Using a UV (marine) resistant type sealant will last many seasons. Don't use a sealant with adhesive properties. You might need to remove the fasteners and you really don't want to be applying heat...

Another Apple Preview trick, generally, Preview opens the image correctly oriented. Somehow "it" knows. However, when you use a third party image host or simply attach the thumbnail to a post, the post captures the actual orientation of the image. Discussing Preview again, if you are...

I used self tapping stainless steel screws as well on the struct brackets. Be sure to use a quality UV resistant sealant on the screw threads an a dab on the hole before placing the bracket against the camper. I don't recall the sealant I used on my camper, but, a product recommended by a...

Never thought about BBQ and politics, but, sounds about spot on for those who take either or both far too serious. Life is about living, enjoying and collecting friends.

Thanks for sharing!

Mike, what is your budget? What's the oldest/newest model year you're interested in? Gives us an idea if a member finds one another web site. Willing to travel is probably a good ting. I drove from NC to WI to pick up my Hawk.

Down East BBQ tastes like drinking a bottle of apple cider vinegar...said the old boar with is nose curled up like a gilt. In 3+ decades, I never acquired the taste for vinegar based BBQ, Most be a taste acquired in the womb. We'd zip down HWY 70 to Wilber's in Goldsboro. Another joint...

Vic, drive the Turquoise Trail (NM-14) to Santa Fe. Stopping in Madrid (not pronounced like the capital of Spain) for lunch. If heading north on NM-14, after Cerrillos, head NW to I-25 for about a 30 minute drive back down to ABQ.

Here you go Steve... Where I get my cookware and supplies.

I've been very happy with CostCo precooked ribs. I just wrap them in several layers of HD aluminum foil and toss them on a bed of coals (if a fire is allowed) rotating every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes total time. Camp fire not allowed, I break out the Snow Peak Field Oven. I...

Not going to be much help... But, research (search) here and other forums to determine what folks have paid for a FWC Hawk of comparable age and up-fit. Not too many for sale so its pretty much what your willing to pay and how much a seller is inclined to let one go.

Great article and video. Thanks for posting Ski! I wished the pines around here were beautiful and of unique character, but, they're are not.

Since a winch is list as #2...I've been a Warn winch fan since the 70s. Never had one fail or let me down. Having said that... Visit a 4WD center and have your alternator tested for condition/performance since your truck is 10 years old. The winch is a huge current draw, especially when you...

Excellent analogy! Both my Yamaha F60 (2017) and F40 (2018) utilize "zincs" (sacrificial anodes) for use in saltwater to prevent corrosion. Even long ago sold outboard motors used "zincs". I fish throughout the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and Santee River Delta, saltwater estuaries...

Since moving to the SC coast a year ago, I have been in the process of replacing all FWC factory installed zinc coated fasteners. They will rust and rather quickly if exposed to salt air. FWC zinc coated bolts, washers, nuts attaching the front tie done bracket to my 2015 Hawk. Ford has...

If one is truly concerned about vehicle and option weights when placing an order, visit the dealer and review the Ford Upfitter Manual. Weights for each specific base sub-model and each available option are presented in the manual. Payload capacity will begin to decrease as you move up from...

I spoke at length with an ARB-USA rep yesterday. ARB-USA is the importer of OME products to North America. OME offers suspension products through MY 2016. Nothing for MY 2017 and later in North America. For MY 2011-2016 (2016 last MY for steel body Super Duties) only 3" and 4" lift kit...

Indeed, OME only offers suspension products through the steel body years...2016. Nothing for the modern beer can (AL) body trucks as of yet. Plus, for 2011-16 MY, you only have a choice of 3" or 4" lift kits. I installed a 2" OME on my 2003. It didn't give the impression the truck was lifted...

Sadly, Old Man Emu does not make a spring kit (F/R) for modern Super Duties. I had the F-350 OME full suspension package with overload spring on my 2003 F-250. The ride improvement was stunning. Even with nothing in the bed, the ride was dramatically improved over OEM. the overload spring...

When we retired and moved to a far off the beaten path Low Country shrimping village, we switched to T-Mobile for the $70 per month Old Geezer promotion which includes 2 lines and unlimited data. No contract, pay month to month. We brought our ATT iPhone 6s over to T-Mobile. T-Mobile provided...

Klahanie offers informative info. One thing I did learn in my search, is keeping good notes. I discovered many after-market suspension components do not meet OEM weight ratings. Simply put, they are designed for off-roading performance trucks/vehicles without the heavy payload. Because of...
