Your truck is going to be overloaded but you all ready know that. IBTDT and it is not every enjoyable when you think about all the consequences doing so. I wanted a new Tundra but it just isn't rated for my purpose either.

I had a Hawk shell( 695 lbs.) on my '03 Tundra. It weighed nearly 1100 lbs. with options, I was alway running at max. GVW carrying 1400 lbs. fully loaded. No problems other than a one time blown an air bag and shock. I am now looking at a new truck and camper. I am leaning heavily toward a...

My heavily optioned Hawk shell weighed 1050 Lbs. and loaded with my gear was 1400/1500 on my 1st gen Tundra. I wouldn't be concerned with a PW and some overload assist. Much beefier than my rig and I put a lot of offroad miles on it. I had bags and cradles on my Tundra and didn't like them. I...

I had the same experiences with bags. Installed Roadmaster Active Suspension and had zero problems. Not a bag fan because of the experienced failures.

Reynaldo's, Lucky Llama both in Carpinteria, Ca BTW, did you know that coffee is being grown the Goleta,Ca. I found this out at Lucky Llama... http://goodlandorganics.com

It's an interesting route because of the wide openness, not a lot of anything but long vista's. I drove it west to east about 5 years ago in Tacoma 2wd pre-runner.The road was mostly a wet(muddy) slipe and slide. I had to keep the speed up and really had me white knuckling most of the way. Fun...

Look at paralleling south of I-90 interstate on the state routes. You can work your way across northern Idaho, South Valley road (100 miles of dirt) past Red Rock Lakes and Lima L. or southern Montana and the mining towns on pavement. There's so much to see you don't really need anyone telling...

Big With D/S motorcycle riders. Much more interesting drives in ID,MT, NE OR. Travel on most any road following a river and you'll see more interesting things. I've traveled all over the PNW back roads and Magruder is a novelty thing and not very scenic. Hwy 95 north of Boise to Canada, a...

My used Hawk came with one of the above and it had a cracked lower step. Cracked more with my use, so I junked it. That's why I ended up with the one that started this post. I now know of two I wouldn't recommend.

I'm still thinking it's an RV industry issue they could/should solve.

I've found few steps designed for slide-in campers. None were standouts. I'm thinking the slide-in camper industry should joint venture a bold new step design. One that works so well with their product and is priced so appealing it makes out sourcing a step, dangerous, un-necessary. FYI, my...

I've had this folding step for about a year with no problems until my foot went right through the top step. 300 lb. weight limit and I weigh 230. Yes, I was exiting my camper. It was an ugly fall and I was very lucky to only have sprained my wrist.

sold !

This is no longer for Sale.

Tundra ratings are high in these reports. Are there reports with low ratings like you suggest ? http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2014/02/gmc-sierra-ranks-at-top-of-jd-powers-dependability-study.html...

Just removed my '10 Hawk deadbolt to see. Mine is made in tiawan #G2409 . Happily, mine wasn't one?

Roll over couch with blue factory cushions. Excellent condition as I've never had a use for it. I know they sell for $725 new. Looking for best offer over $350. I'll throw in the queen size bed filler cushions if you want them. Didn't use them either. PM me for quicker response. As of 7/13/2014...

You have a compounded problem. The added weight and sand driving will be greatly helped with HP and Torque. Add the supercharger and loose the 33" tires too. Add tire width not tire height.

Spokane was my travel hub for 24 years. I'd suggest heading east from Bend. Hwy 26 and Hwy7 to Baker. Out of Baker take Hwy 86 and cross the Snake to Hwy. 95. Go North, lot's to see and great camping on 95, McCall/Payette Lk., Rigging and the Snake R. Canyon and the LOLO hwy 12(famous) . Another...

Nice report. Drove thur there couple weeks ago. Ice was still on the lakes at the pass. North entrance CG wasn't near full. I didn't stay and drove all the way to Quincy before camping that night.

I don't get the connection between those two locations. Polebridge is just a general store really. A place to go to from someplace like Reno. All my locations where major cities. Suites me because I like a major hub to explore from. Being retired that's mostly what I do..yin & yang...

With my same answers, I tried other western states. I got what I thought were similier towns. Reno,Nv or Polebridge,Mt.? I've been to both. You changed answers I'm thinking

If you want the roads less traveled, Stay out of crossing N.Y. Take NF 261 into Yellowstone. Then S.E. thru Dubois on 287/26 to Riverton and up through the Bighorn N.F. Central Wyo. is less traveled. Marty Stouffer filmed a lot of "Wild America" in the Bighorn N.F. Beautiful and quiet. Cody...
