Hello All, Newby here.
Just purchased a FWC Hawk (haven't even picked it up yet), from a forum member. We are putting it on a 2006 Tundra double cab 4x4 and heading to Canada for the rest of the winter.
We are rabid skiers and this will be our ski resort hotel room (parking lot), and backcountry ski exploration vehicle.
It will also be the home of our 11 year old Shepherd while we are skiing. The furnace will be essential as we have been slowly freezing her to death in the fiberglass shell of our old truck.
I put new tires on the truck today and the Ride Rite's go on tomorrow. I hope to pick up the Hawk on thursday and then get to figure out how to wire the harness in.
The Hawk is in excellent shape and has almost all of the options. One that I feel we still need is the Yakima tracks up on the roof so I can put a cargo box for skis up there.
Has anyone installed these themselves and what are the problems I could get into as far as water leakage ect. ? I don't want to start drilling holes up there and being in Utah there isn't a FWC savvy RV shop that I have found yet to trust to do this.
This forum has been a big help in our decision making process leading to this investment. I post on Expedition Portal and folks over there pointed me towards this forum. Thanks in advance for all the help and I hope to be able to contribute myself.
Cheers,
Kevin
