Count me in. Will be at Devil's Lake SP 6/3 & 6/4 before heading to the UP, Porcupine MT, Picture Rock, and Tecquemon SP for that week.

Sounds like a great trip. Lake of the clouds? Keeweenaw peninsula? I think a Wisconsin rally of some sort would be a fantastic idea.

I'm from Long Island, New York and just picked up a 2011 Fleet and a 2012 Tundra last month. Loving the setup and will be using it for surfing and surf casting the island all summer. Trying to plan a few longer trips for the fall. Trying to make it to the mid-Atlantic expo in PA this year. Nice to see some people on this side of the country!

Sailor - any pics of your setup? Why did you choose the fleet over the hawk?

I'm about an hour away from the MAOF and went last year and had a good time. It's a really fun event.

Fireball- I bought the fleet used two months ago for my 2004 Tacoma dcsb because I couldn't find a used finch after a long time searching. After using as my daily driver for a few weeks with just timbrens installed I knew it wasn't going to be a good match in the long run. I ended up upgrading and buying a used 2012 to put the camper on and built a platform with storage to raise it above the bed rails. I'm sure I would have went with the hawk if I had know I was upgrading but I actually like the fit of the fleet on my tundra and I have been putting the extra bed space to good use for storage.

Hi MuleHawk - any photos of your setup? I have a 2012 Tundra and just bought a used 2014 Hawk. I am heading to pick it up over Memorial Day weekend. Was your hawk built for the Tundra, or do you have some type of spacer/riser system underneath? FWC tells me I need about a 2" riser to clear the bedsides of the Tundra.

 Check out my gallery I have a couple more photos. My Hawk was built for a Tundra

Hello MuleHawk,
Enjoy the trip, been there done that and might do it again. If you are heading to MI have you given any thought of crossing Lake MI on the ferry? It leaves out of Manitowoc, WI. to Ludington, MI. The SS Badger connects US10 on each side.
Enjoy the trip and the FWC

Thanks! We've thought about it but it's a longer trip and we have two stops planned on the way up at Starved Rock SP in Illinois and Warren Dunes SP in Michigan

Virginia Beach, VA.
1989 Grandby that sits in a 2004 Silverado 1500 Z71. I haven't been west of the Mississippi with it yet (keyword-yet) but it certainly has been all over east of the Mississippi with the bass boat in tow.

Greetings, I have been dropping in to lurk for the past three years. I suppose I count as East of the Mississippi. South Porcupine, Ontario, Canada (Northern Ontario). 2013 Hawk on an F150 - built in California, exported to British Columbia, delivered to Goderich in South Western Ontario where I picked it up. From time of order to pick up, an impressive three months or so.
