Just got back from a week in DV. Must of seen over a dozen FWCs! Getting amped up to take delivery of mine in Feb!
No sir.. I went all out with a front Dinette Hawk with the goodiesLighthawk said:Ah, so your build is still a shell, and not a FWC?
Yes, we are a Cult
And we saw quite a few during our week trip to DV also.
Ah.. yes sir.. white Tundra with leer shell and roof rack with solar and awningLighthawk said:Good for you.
That's a popular floor plan.
But, I meant on your current rig.
Isn't it a truck with a cap?
Wondering if we saw you in SV. We were there on 12/29
Crap. Any damagepollux said:i was there too. We, two FWC trucks, drove through the Titus canyon and the turnbuckles on the front came loose. One of the rear turnbuckle fell off. Beware of the washboard roads!
luckily no damage, i read that we need to upgrade the rear shocks and springs.So Cal Adventurer said:Crap. Any damage
Mine will be used almost exclusively on washbords and similar
Thanks for sharing this. The turnbuckles supplied with the installation last month looked pretty weak, soft aluminum and sloppy threads.hoyden said:Check the turnbuckles frequently and bring spares! I've had three break
(all the same front left/driver side corner, so must have some special pull on that corner. der)
Most folks have had good luck with one nylock wingnut on one side of the turnbuckle.So Cal Adventurer said:We have done this in the past with good results on other stuff, might work here...
Could you add some nylock nuts on the outsides of them and then once the turnbucklesa are adjusted to the right setting, tightening the nuts against them??
