Very nice. looks like you have already been having fun.
How does it hold up off-roading compared to the Bronco?

The bronco clearance is superior for clearance so my buddy breaks and set trails for me, meaning clearing any big shrubs or branches. I can keep up until mostly but I've beached myself on an hump where the bronco had no problem. I'm attaching a photo of that hump for reference

Hi all,

First time posting, long time lurker here. I wanted to starte a thread of my experience on obtaining a new Mav, the ups and downs, and all the mods I've done so far.

I plan on adding a really long write up for documentation of all knowledge accumulated while building out this vehicle. Here's a few photos to get my started.

I have a lot to talk to about it when it comes to the start of my journey with a new example with only 50 miles on it to 8700 miles at this very moment. Everything to Aux battery problems, to the vehicle killing power at 60mph going through mountains, to battery terminals melting themselves, to hit n runs, to turn around times on parts both exterior and interiors, to all of the smiles this stupid cute truck has provided. Love and hate relationships is not suffice to describe this experience so far.

I still have lots of add-ons purchased to install such as the siderails for the bed rack, rotopax mount, traction board mounts, Boomba BOV, rain and hood deflectors. Ive done a good amount of other functional mods such as tailgate struts and a MagicBox device, but theres a ton more so i cant wait to provide a full write-up for you all.

Thanks to everyone who provide info on this site, you have helped me with many things that i questioned. Ask me anything!!

CHEERS!

Day of Pickup

First time taking it off road to camp

Meadowlark tent test fit

Install of RoughCountry 2in lift + 17in KMC wrapped in 245s WildPeaks AT3s.
A week before this, I change the Ford OEM trifold cover (for sale) for a ProTrax XR and added Yakima OutPost rack

A few hours before this post (at Vicks on HWY 2)

Nice set-up. I kind of regret not ordering w/the 4K tow pkg, but the reality of buying a camper and the time to use it made me not opt for it. Sadly there's fewer and fewer spots like you're enjoying that are accessible now as irresponsible people have tended to ruin for the rest of us.

and it was a good thing I had camp already set. Those 5%'ers will get ya!

I used to be big into high gravity/craft beers and I still appreciate them but gluten is not ny friend anymore. White claw ensures my abs stay there lol.

Wish the bottle of Jameson was showing in that pic. Darn!!
