Love what you did there. When I was working on my design, it was between black n red, black n blue or black n gold... blue won out

You gotta send me the side shots. Do I see more carbon fiber accents on the side?

I like the smoked front and rear badges, but they say they are not compatible with the 2026. Great father son project!

I couldn’t find any alternatives for my 2025 Lobo. That’s why I decided to disassemble them and customize them myself.

Removed the rear badge today. It is a 4 piece and fairly straight forward. The double sided tape is the toughest to deal with. When prying the oval from the large base trim piece, take your time and use a microfiber cloth with your plastic pry tools. I marred mine up a bit. The next part is the hardest! Separating the white lettering and oval (one piece) from the black piece. There are two clips that need pinched and released. Looks easy but the tape between the two pieces will make you second guess your life. I broke one of the clips. There are plastic welds on the back that need be lightly drilled. LIGHTLY!!! I broke the top of the white oval while drilling the welds. Thankfully I was able to glue it. Once all plastic welds are drilled, the two pieces will separate. Paint the parts whatever colors you like and reassemble.
I’ll post updated when reassembled.

Interesting... Have often thought of replacing a Ford oval with a Bears "C". I could 3D print one out of ASA... Now you've got my gears turning. Oh boy... My Mav doesn't even have a VIN yet and I'm already plotting mods. lol

Even if mine is the most reliable Mav Ford ever manufacturers, this truck is gonna cost me so much time and money. I can already tell. lol

I just realized He said his 11YO son is gonna take the LOWBO at 15YO
In 4 years from now...

My first car was a piece of reliable junk hahaha 😆
My first vehicle was a Maverick.

A 1972 Ford Maverick, cost me $600 When I bought it in 1985.

I wish I could have that thing back.

I still have pictures of my first cars but their actual Polaroids that were taken with a actual camera using film not a smartphone.

Damn I feel older.
