There is a 2004 Hawk Model - Loaded! for $9,000 Just posted on Craigslist in SoCal http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/3736052801.html

Just loading my gear, putting as much weight on passenger side in camper as possible to help balance load. Before with air bags at 40 psi plus back of camper had no give to it when I pushed down on it. Now with lift blocks installed and 15 psi I can feel the springs give when I push down on...

.......Better to go with a system designed completely for the job than trying patchwork with air bags, add a leaf or such. .......... Talk to some of the spring folks and see what they can come up with. Good Advice Walt, and I have already contacted Deaver Springs. They have a great...

Because the truck gas tank, stove, propane bottles, cabinets, sink, and refrigerator are all on the drivers side of truck, I have an unbalanced load. Need to pack all heavy gear to passenger side under bed storage in camper. May put a little extra air in air bag on drivers side also. What...

OK I'm looking for a little advice here. I outfitted my 2007 Sierra 1500 Z71 4X4 with Firestone ride rite air bags to restore my stock ride height and handle the weight of my +-1200 pound loaded Hawk. They have been on the truck all of 6 months and I have lost one to a broken bolt, repaired it...

Does not look that bad. Says the guy with the most rugged FWC off road video I've yet to see. Good stuff Bill! If your truck can go there I see no reason your 4WC can not come along :D It really doesn't have much choice. That's the whole beauty of the FWC right.

I keep my truck wheeling on the mild side. I have a Jeep for the tough stuff. Its my daily driver and too expensive to go beating it up. Keeping it on the mild side was actually my plan. That descent was the result of an error in judgement really. I went further on an unknown trail than I...

So I've been looking around on various websites with FWC pages and forums and galleries and could't find much in the way of serious off roading with FWCs on the truck. I also finally actually have my Hawk on a 4X4 so I though I see if I could get a picture of it off the pavement. I went...

I bought my standard Hawk knowing I would replace my 2002 TRD Tundra soon, The truck was far from worn out, but I wanted 4x4 and newer couldn't hurt. The camper was fine on the Tundra for a year before I got my GMC Sierra 4x4. It really didn't look that bad, I filled the gap along one side...

This is a great thread with some good advice. I bought my 2004 Hawk used, and the original owner had really worked out a lot of the storage issues for me. My big challenge was in paring down from the stuff I had carried in my last camper, a tent trailer. I have found that keeping everything...

Real men have longer .......uh beds. I've had both long and short beds, and other than parking I'd opt for a long bed with the extra cab. I know toyota makes them. Not sure you can get that in a 4x4 though and that's what I opt for. I have the GMC extra cab with 6.5' bed and the truck is...

I have a FWC Hawk on my 02 Tundra, it should be the Kestral, but I planned to upgrade the truck, so the Hawk fit adequately until I got the new truck. I filled the gap on one side with this sealed pipe and some hose clamps, the end screws off to store my surf rods or a lot of cans, not sure how...

OK this is not my first post, but I think I'm under 10 still. I've been a lurker for a while. I got my new to me Hawk about 6 weeks ago and I've camped in it four times now, twice super local over nights with just my son. The two weekends where we added in the Mrs. We just returned from a...

My new crank up speaker stand arrived and worked as promised, except the first time I used it I set it way to the left of center to stay clear of the aluminum lift lever thing. Seemed like it was essential. I apparently positioned it right between two aluminum beams inside the roof above the...

I used to have two of the UFO lights, that what we called the circular battery powered led lights Walmart sell s for $4-6 they worked great in my old tent trailer. But it did't have a great place to hang them in the Hawk. I just purchased 3 LED arrays with 36 LEDs each from...

Winter came a bit early in SoCal. My Fall trip to Julian for fresh apple pie and relaxation came with a surprise. The forcast rain turned to sleet and quickly to snow as we set up camp Friday night. By the time we turned in for the night everything was blanketed with 5" of white wonder. My...

I picked up my new to me 2002 Hawk this last Saturday. It is pretty much what I was expecting after all I've read and researched about FWC. I only had a chance to check out one in person and it was another model. The first time I raised the roof I was amazed at how hard it was. Even when the...

A few more pics

I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. It's pretty much loaded and in really nice shape. I was all set to order a new Hawk shell model with just the roof rack, rear wall steps, furnace and a couple other little things but the Mrs pushed me to look at used. I had looked at used off and on for a...
