Just bumping this. I am not firm on the price, willing to talk. I just want the rig to go to someone that will use it and enjoy it as my family did. Open to talking partial/full trades. Looking for a full size quad cab 4x4 truck that will replace this. Please see the threads linked above on...

I just added a lot more photos of both truck and camper on this for sale thread on Expedition Portal.....

Selling as a ready to go package. Nothing wrong with either the truck or camper and I have taken care of them both very well. $33,000 Camper - Build Thread on Expedition Portal 1990 FWC Hawk, Fully Restored Heater Water/Sink Engle Fridge 140 Watt Solar Setup w/ 2 batteries Roof Racks...

Hey guys, Been a while since I have been on here and updated the thread. I have been keeping track of most everything on Expedition Portal. Here is the link: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/80314-SLO-s-FWC-Hawk-Refurb-Build There are TONS more mods, picts, etc etc. Might be...

Been a while since I was on this forum. Yes, Life gets in the way. Figured I would post the most recent pict of the adventures! Hope all is well with everyone!

I drove 3 years all over, dirt roads, etc with no helpers. Only reason I added them is because I wanted to truck to look dead level with the camper. I installed a 2.5" front leveling kit before I got the camper and when I added the camper the rear squatted a bit like yours. I agree with...

Alabama Hills would be hot. I think that is mostly a fall or spring trip if you are going to stay there for multiple days. Leavitt is a KILLER spot. I would go back in a heartbeat, but still a bit of a drive from Sacramento. If you go to Leavitt, there are a number of other great areas to...

Looking Down at Leavitt. We could just barely see the rig. We were going to stay another night, but the kids were still at it. They had been continuously shooting all day. Many different calibers. It was unfortunate because it was such a beautiful spot. Oh well, we'll just have to get...

Pretty Funny Ski! How about a little Leavitt Lake! First of all this is a great spot and if I were to go back I would schedule at least 2 nights up there. The road can get a bit hairy with the larger/heavier rig I had, but we didn't have a problem. 4x4 low and slow and we made it. I did...

Thanks for the positive comments everyone! Ill Get Leavitt Lake photos up soon. That road sure is a fun one going up. Slow and steady with my big rig. Only one or two spots that had me nervous. Of course Im not sure if it was the road or the look on my girls face as we approached! haha...

Noth'n wrong with another photo or 2 eh? :-)

Ski, that is exactly what I think I will do to mine. I would rather not have it attached to the truck, but keep it integrated with the camper. That project is still on the drawing board. Allen, AWESOME idea on where to source the plastic. Ill drop by on of those shops soon. My fairing...

Excellent Ski! Great photos. Looks like a beautiful place! Love part 2, especially the part about the Texans! I know what you are talking about. I lived in Dallas for 7 years. They dress up, even for the back-roads. :)

How about some picts of night #2. Green Creek area south of Bridgeport.... The road out there isnt too bad. Pretty washboarded up right now, but we took it slow. You climb up into the valley. Get some pretty good views. There are LOTS of little turn offs with nooks to camp in by the...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!!!! Well it was a year apart. I didn't do it twice in the same spring. haha :) Desert Camo for sure! haha I actually like the tan. Dust blends in! Good food, happy lady = GREAT trip! Thanks! Ive been pretty happy with it. I custom designed it and...

Trip Report is started! :)

Every year the lady and I go to Tahoe for a few days during the summer to hand with her family. They have a little cabin on the west shore. To make a trip out of it, we camp our way up and down. We both love the eastern side of the sierras and are always looking for new spots to check out...

Awesome!

Same for me. I always get people asking me about the setup, what does it have, how does it work etc. Part of the FWC/ATC club. Sometimes its kinda fun. :)

There are a number of threads on here about them. Besides an off the shelf Thule rack deflector all are homemade. Sorry I have no links handy. Hopefully someone else can help. I plan on building something like that soon for my rig.

Impressive re-build! Dove WAY deeper than I did. Keep up the great work! :D

Cant wait to read the report! Glad to hear you had a good time Ski!

Guys, Thanks again for the recommendations! The trip was great and I am NOT looking forward to work tomorrow after 9 days on the road! We ended up hitting up the spots in this order. Alabama Hills Green Creek Leavitt Lake Tahoe (4) days Mt. Rose Wilderness Alabama Hills (on the way home)...

Again, thanks for everyone's recommendations and help! :D The plan of attack is starting to take form. Leave Friday noon and Make our way to the Alabama Hills for a quick overnight. Sat morning head to Mammoth Lakes area and camp off the dry creek roads area. Possibly ride up to Inyo...

Guys! Thank you for all the great recommendations. I will be researching and planning more in the next coming days and will let you know what I come up with. Cheers!
