Here's some pictures of the inside as requested in a PM. Also Here's a link for better pictures of the same layout and Silver Spur interior package https://www.mainlineoverland.com/products/four-wheel-campers-hawk-flat-bed I should also add that the length of the bed supports in ours were...

After 4 fun filled summers in our 2016 FWC flatbed Hawk we've decided we won't have enough time to fully enjoy this kick ass rig for the next couple years so it's time pass it on. We'll be at the 2022 Overland West Expo. in Flagstaff if anyone is interested in seeing "The Beast" in person. The...

Thanks!... 2 years later. We've now clocked about 15,000 miles on over 20 excursions. Thinking back, I'd say the biggest disappointment with the build was retaining the front springs when doing the shackle reversal. They worked fine on the highway but on any kind of off road they were...

Colorado, Steamboat Springs

Went out again this weekend close to home. Friday night we landed south of Rabbit Ears on a fire road off of Buffalo Park road. We just got a sim card for the Cradle Point mobile WiFi that came with the FWC. Amazing! We were on top of a mountain with just one bar of 3g and my internet was faster...

This weekend we went on a mini expedition just 30 miles North of our home on Deer Mountain in our newly built expo rig. Mostly it was a short on time issue but we wanted to see how everything worked and to see what we may have forgot..........dish soap was the only thing. We first went North to...

Thanks and Thanks!

The flat bed was made with steel rectangular tubing to match up with the wood pads FWC uses on the bottom of their "flat bed camper". If you look back further in the thread there are some pictures. I used a combo of 1/8" and 1/4" wall steel. In retrospect I don't think the 1/4" was necessary...

Here's a couple pictures as it sits today with the under bed boxes mounted. At this point the list to finish is: Nerf bars reinstalled, trailer hitch, spare tire and tools to change, roof rack basket on top of cab in front of camper and a front bumper and winch assembly. For this I'm trying to...

Since my last post nearly a month ago the project is nearly finished.........if there is such a thing. First was to finish the back pack box ends, lights and top. Next, I'd been working with a reputable vinyl wrap company in Fort Collins CO. to do a "winter camo" wrap on the truck. My...

Sweet! Especially the old school Warn front bumper. Wish I could find one.

Yes the skirts are just for looks. The sliders on your OBS are cool and I like the idea of running a Cummins. I have a 93 12 valve but it's slated for a different project. In a couple weeks we take this one down for a wrap. So everything should be loaded up in early July. Then it'll just be the...

Didn't get as far as I expected but did make some progress. I started with mounting the drawer and counter slides into the box frame. Here's the doodads I made to mount to the slides and then weld into the frame of the box. Then I made some frames out of angle and welded in expanded...

Got the flatbed done and took it to the powder coater up in Craig CO. Installed the filler necks and all the rear lights etc. Put 19 gallons in the new rear tank and crossed my figures that it would read 1/2 tank. Of course it did not so I had to pull the sender and bend the arm until it did...
