    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Push Board

    Hi Stan, Thanks for the fast response. Yes, please send me a replacement hinge. I did hit a big hole in Baja last year and had to replace one of the tie down eyelet bolts. (You helped me on that one too!) Perhaps the damage to the push board happened then as well. I'll call Chicali next...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Fit Question

    My '06 Hawk fits my '04 Tundra like a glove. In fact, periodically, we wear down the paint a little on the Hawk as it rubs the side rails. No problem, we just spray paint over. Weight is important to us as the price of gas is so high. The existing OEM boards work fine. I don't think it's...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Push Board

    Has anyone ever had to replace the hinge on the back (above the bed) push board? It appears difficult to get to. Here's two pictures below: Glenn 2004 Tundra 4x4 w/AAL with 2006 Hawk

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West FWC Hawk on '07 Tundra: best mods for stability and offroad?

    Add a leafs should be about $200. Air shocks would be nice but I'm "cheaping it out". Going to spend 6 weeks in Baja and need to save my money. The 2004 Tundra 4x4 rides fine with about a 3" lift to the rear of the truck. Will let you know in January whether the AAL's were enough.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Baja hole

    Just a followup to the readers: I contacted Four Wheel and spoke to Chicali. I then faxed him my plan for repair, a painted wood sandwich with big washers that fit over the cut out portion. He agreed with my plan. Painted it up and hope it works. I'll let you all know when I hit my next Baja...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Baja hole

    Hi Marty, Below is a picture of the ripped out eyebolt. It basically splintered the plywood so I had to use a reciprocating saw to cut out the splintered part. My plan is to make a "wood sandwich" by placing a 3/4" piece of plywood inside the hole, another piece exactly filling the hole...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West 4wc water tank??

    4wc water tank I'm happy with the OEM one that came with my 2006 Hawk. It's rectangular, 20 gallon and with a water pump it's great for the sink, shower , etc. Perhaps you can get the name of the OEM supplier from FourWheel?

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West New to Forum with New/used hawk shell

    New/used hawk shell I'm only into my Hawk for a year now but I recently tore out an eyebolt (see Baja Hole). The eyebolts in the 2006 model are placed vertically to the "shoulder" of the camper. In my opinion, 4W did a poor job in installing the eyebolts. There should be at least a large...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Baja hole

    Thanks, Marty. I was able to get the eyelet out of the broken area. I was very surprised to see a washer used on the bottom side of the plywood but none used on the top side. The top part of the assy is only about one inch diameter and it just ripped through the plywood. I can stick my hand...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Baja hole

    In Baja, we hit an unexpected pothole. Our Tundra was OK but the Hawk essentially flew up an inch or two off the truck bed and came down. Three of the four turnbuckle hooks "unbent". We were able to have them rebent into shape again. However, the fourth turnbuckle hook did not give. The...
