    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Funny to see this come back up! Incidentally we still have the LC, but have sold the Bronco and the 4R and the wife DDs a Sequoia. I have yet to use the LC for any towing, but plan to tow a flatbed trailer with a pop up camper on it, total weight ~2000-2500#. So we will see how it does soon...

    Ventilation in FWC

    What is the best setup for ventilation? Two fans are better than one I'm guessing? One sucks and one blows? Which windows should be opened. I'm sure I can figure this out as we go along but as a new hawk owner I'd be interested in the wisdom from more experienced users.

    2012 FOUR WHEEL CAMPER HAWK FOR SALE

    Nice camper! Curious if it was built for your tundra. I believe the newer Hawks need a 2" riser underneath to fit the tall bedside of the tundra. I just bought a slightly newer less well appointed hawk or yours would be a strong consideration. GLWS!

    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    Chris - great article! How tight are those door seals? That water crossing would've had me sweating bullets. Tell Mario he owes you a beer next time he sees you, I just asked my local guys to order me a pneumatic wheeled tongue jack based on how hard the flatbed was to maneuver around their...

    Heating a pop-up truck camper?

    I am considering a Hawk shell and using our Mr. Buddy, the same one we currently use in our tent. Happy to hear that others are using it successfully, it seems a lot cheaper than the offerings from FWC or others.

    Pop-up with outdoor kitchen - design ideas!

    Thank you very much, no offense taken this is exactly the kind of feedback I am looking for from folks who have camped in and used and have experience with them. I've spent about 2 hrs sitting in a few FWC models at a local event and at the local dealer, and a few more hours sitting at my...

    Pop-up with outdoor kitchen - design ideas!

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen the camp kitchen and it looks like a nice unit. We are trying to find a cooking solution that is super quick and easy to setup. We were previously considering tear-drops because of the ease of taking all of 2 seconds to open that back hatch and start...

    Pop-up with outdoor kitchen - design ideas!

    Those drawings were done in Sketchup and are not very good at all, so thanks for the compliment! The hardware was purchased from Allegis Corp. I believe they sell direct to the public but not sure how their prices are....I own a construction company and we have a modest woodworking shop and...

    Pop-up with outdoor kitchen - design ideas!

    Don - thanks for your response! The outdoor kitchen on a slide out that you built was a huge inspiration for this. We met and spoke for a few minutes at the MAOF last fall - congrats on the new FWC, I saw some of the photos and it looks awesome! I did think about putting the fridge closest...

    Pop-up with outdoor kitchen - design ideas!

    Better refined the slide out kitchen idea.... Will need some solid dividers to add strength, plus an aluminum/pole support on the top left corner. The tabletop will hinge down and should have enough space beside the fridge for the stove to reside there permanently if desired.

    Pop-up with outdoor kitchen - design ideas!

    Hello all, While I love the extra space afforded by the pop-up, one of my biggest complaints is that when camping we will always cook outside. So many of the interior cooking features would be not needed, and quick and easy access to an exterior kitchen setup would be very important to us...

    CBI Offroad is doing some awesome work on a 200 series LC, hopefully someone out their way will get them to do some Sequoia armor.

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Most undermount slides are only rated for 100 pounds or less. Blum makes a heavy duty one rated at 150 pounds that would probably work. Why aren't you just using the slides you have in the intended orientation?
