Maverick overland build near completion!

[JohnCondren1933]

Man that is some crazy lift, most I think I've seen on a Maverick.
Care to post pics of your truck underside skidplates & rock rails, all around the sides see what they protect.
I just 30 minutes ago installed my RIVAL front end skidplate, RIVAL doesnt have skidplates for traction battery & gas tank sides but it slides onto 4 M8 bolts very easy with 2 people, & doable with 1 person (me)

RIVAL has nice bolted ports for oil & oil filter changes without removing the whole skidplate, how is it removing Jjc for oil changes?

Latest updates:

I switched over from the rough country puck lift to the Eibach pro coils with the HD rear coils- night and day difference

I added the Jjc evap skid plates and rock sliders , still have the gas tank skid and catalytic converter skid to go which I should be getting to in the next few weeks

Installed the Timbren active off-road bump stops on the rear

Added fifteen52 wheels (traverse Mx in magnesium grey)

Overall she’s riding way better now and I have way more confidence on larger bumps at speed especially on the rear end

just a couple more final touches and the truck should be just about done!

What states make a front tag mandatory, Kentucky doesnt & im driving through Indiana it doesn't either, pretty sure Ohio doesnt require front tags.

Isnt it just California & commie states require front tags to destroy thr airflow at front?

Forget about the airflow... the aesthetic!!!!

There are no communist states within the United States. All 50 states have democratically elected governments and their economies follow capitalist models. The centalized federal government recognizes and respects the electoral processes of each of the republics and manages interstate trade/commerce between the republics. The United States of America is a Union of Republics, where, among many other rights of self determination, each state is free to establish and enforce their own standards for vehicle registration and operator licensing.

Arizona, with a democratic govenor, 2 democratic senators, and 6 republican / 2 democractic representatives, only requires a rear license plate. None of these democratically elected officials are members of the communist party, but that doesn't necessarily prove a correlation between front license plate requirements and communist leanings.

That's really nice, long term I was thinking of going to bigger tires and a higher lift, has your fuel economy been hurt by making these changes?

A quick search shows 29 states require front license plates, 21 do not.

Looks better with not front plates...

Agree. I'm glad that Arizona doesn't require one. My wife had a used CRV that had a bracket for the front, and I just stuck one of those AZ Roadrunner plates on the front to avoid leaving the leftover holes in the bumber facia.

Yeah, good ole commie () red state
Texas requires both!

First thing I told dealer when he informed me my truck had shipped, "Do Not drill holes in the front bumper and install a plate!" I have gone without a front plate in CA my whole 40 years of driving and never had an issue, knock wood.

 

[Backin15]

Minnesota requires both, but I owned a 15 year old Jaguar that had never had a front plate, and I couldn't bring myself to drill the holes. I drove it for 3 years with the plate in the glove compartment and never had a problem.

 

[Strrazor88]

Not everyone follows the front plate law. I don't either.

I havent in 15 years in texas and dont plan onto

The “Free State” requires front and rear tags

NH state slogan, "Live Free or Die", which is also on NH license plates, which are required front and rear. Also, you can live free or die but don't tint your front windows in NH.
