Just an update, Had a very successful sale within the first week. Sold it to a very nice lady who will be wandering up and down the west coast. Thank-you for all your help. I'll be back in a few years.

Wow, just called a local dealer and they said any Four Wheel campers are 15+ month lead time. Just listed it on CL with the additional time premium. We'll see what happens. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the input. Had another member confirmation that the price is about right, so I'll get the CL ad up this weekend and see how it goes.

Been a member for a few years learning from you all on the how-to and how-not mods. Have not posted this on Craigslist yet. Wanted to see if my asking price is out of line and to give the members a first shot. Brand new 2016 Four Wheel Hawk Camper. It's NEVER been used or slept in. Purchased...

Thank-you for the prompt responses. I should've snapped a pic of the clearance when I had it on the truck. Sounds like it various from 3/8 to 7/8 clearance on the various Tundra model years. The camper clears the wheel wells because the front 75% of the camper is only 48" wide. The back 25% of...

We finally received our 2016 Hawk shell for our 2006 Tundra doublecab. Really surprised that it is such a tight fit. There is only about a quarter of an inch clearance between the rear side of the Hawk (where the battery box is located) and the sidewalls of the Tundra. Had a hard time even...

kmcintyre, Stop into any truck weight station (when they're closed) the next time you come across the border into Oregon. The scales are still on and you have the added benefit of taking your time weighting each axle separately and together.

Just a follow-up on this subject. I went with the ProGrip bolts from USA ProGrip Products (http://usaprogrip.com/products_detail.php?id=155). They're similar to the Quick-Ties mentioned by Alley-Kat. They went on easily and did the job exactly as I had wanted. Thanks all for your help.

Thanks for the heads up. Luckily my driveway is on level ground.

The Quick-Ties bolts are from China and no specs are available. They usually sell them as motorcycle tiedown points. They're guessing 600-900 pounds, but would not suggest it be used for a camper on a truck. Of course Alley-Kat had some major backing including a tie into the truck's frame...

Alley-Kat, Any idea who manufacture Quick-Ties? None of the vendors can provide specs on the product such as working load limits. Searches on the web is not coming up with a manufacturer.

Thank-you much for all your replies. Rubber mat won't work for me because I'll bang up the sidewalls and exposed corners of the bed. FWC was pretty specific about removing the bedliner from the truck bed when the FWC is loaded. Alley-Kat's solution looks like an excellent answer to my problem...

I’ve ordered a new Hawk Shell for my 06 Tundra doublecab. I’ll be replacing the FWC with a standard plastic bedliner and bed camper shell after each camping trip for work. How are you FWC veterans handling the tiedown eye bolts? Do you remove/replace them each time you switch or is there a...
