We were in Panamint all weekend....but of all of the sitings above I don't think any of them were us. We never got as high as 190, stayed on panamint/ wildrose and charcoal kiln road. Last two days were in Tuber Canyon mine hunting. Pic is coming out of Tuber Canyon onto Wildrose Easter morning.

Last year we took our first trip in our new (used) Hawk. We were above 9000 using the heater. We packed up the next morning and drove home. The following week I popped it up to clean and noticed about a 8 inch diameter section of the front lower sheer wall panel was discolored. As soon as I...

Awesome trip report. We're headed up that way in a couple of weeks, on our way to Wyoming and Montana. Your report makes me want to leave today!

INYO I am curious why the 10 ply tires I had some pretty crappy p rated Michelin's on the truck when I got the camper. They were the stock tire and kind of spooked me off road (really squirley). I've always run BFG AT's on my trucks (and have them on my Tacoma now) but, this being the wife's...

2008 Tundra I have the same truck and decided to go with the Hawk. We could not be happier! The bed super short bed was probably the worse choice I could have made buying the truck (I love the truck by the way) but it all worked out with the Hawk. I put air bags and 10 ply's on it and can...

Been a while since I have taken engineering classes, but I'm sure someone can check my math. My take is that this is purely a levrage problem. It looks like your mounting point to the truck bed is a good 4-6 inches from the camper tie down point. At 90 deg, that would be 4-6 times the force seen...

Great report mtn....enjoyed reading it. Sorry to hear the trips over.. but look at it this way, now you can start planning the next one.

Had a flat last year while doing some mine exploring. We were in the process of changing out the tire and had, no joke, two people come up the dirt road slow down and ask us for directions to the mine. Not even a "doing okay?"... Got it changed to the leaky spare (I do carry a small compressor)...

Ha.... or a "manzier" I installed Firestones on my Tundra last week (2nd gen). Those things are engineered VERY well. They have built in offsets (the leaf springs aren't exactly parallel to the frame members), pre-drilled holes to clear existing rivets and extension brackets for the fuel pump...

Dsrtrat .. Thanks for the pic. Thats exactly what I had in mind for the valve. Didn't think about the plastic hose though. That's a good idea, seems like it would be easy to change out as well. Ted, thanks for the advice on the faucet. I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with it. We were...

Thanks for the welcome all. It's much appreciated. Mtn..Yeah we know how lucky we were to find a used Hawk.. We like to think it was a little luck and a little persistence (over 4 months of daily scouring the internet in all forms).. chnlisle.. We are in T.O. The name in Lone Pine doesn't...

Well, suppose it’s time to come out of the shadows. I’ve been following this form for quite some time now and am finally a new (used) Hawk owner. Thought I’d share a couple pics and let you all know how the shake down trip went over the Memorial Day weekend. Background… We live in Ventura...
