🙋‍♂️ What did you do TO / WITH your Maverick today?

[XLTLUXRED]

Wow that was a deal, I just bought the same items minus the tailgate assist and the dealership wanted $200 to install. Not happening. Do you have a picture of the window deflectors installed?

Sure do. These are the Ford brand, which the dealership ordered for us. Very happy with how it turned out.

Thank you so much for the picture. I'm not sure if I will install the ones I got from the dealer. They are the low profile and look extremely cheap, very thin. Your hood deflector is different also, the one I installed is also low profile. Yours looks to have a lip at the top. The splash guards are the same, but the dealership ordered 2 front sets so I will be returning one and hopefully get the rears ordered.

Truck stuff.... 28 cinder blocks, as per Lowe's website 36lbs a piece. 1008 lbs. Maverick had a little dip in the rear but drove extremely well with the load. Not far off from no load, braking and acceleration was impressive. I knew the Maverick was loaded and I drove very cautious in the right lane but I did get ahead of slower drivers at times and was really happy with the whole experience. No fx4 but I have 4k tow package. Still need to make a few more trips.

We chose the "textured" hood protector, right off the Ford website, and it does have a lip. Hoping to deflect any rocks, as well as bugs. It matches the spray-in bedliner...!

The above is what we sent to our sales guy. He ordered them and the Service Dept. installed them. We were initially told that the tailgate assist would be fairly involved, so labor would come to about $125. We had been expecting our Maverick in January or at least February, so I bought my spouse snow tires for Christmas, and planned to have our local guy put those on and do the Ford brand front splash guards and rear mudflaps at the same time. But! Our Maverick got on Chip Hold and didn't arrive until March 17th. So, with the snows sitting in the garage now until next Autumn sometime, we brought the splash guards and mudflaps to the dealer to install, and expected labor to bump up to $140. So it was a sweet surprise when they charged us only $60 for doing everything!!

Besides giving it a bath, got the windows ceramic tinted and installed the AVS bug deflector. Gotta keep the love bugs off the edge of the hood!

Since no one else seems to want to ask about it, I will................ @MADPolo give us the story on the black and white vehicle with the umbrella decal in the first image.

Lol, well.... That's my brother-in-law's car. A lot can be summed up by saying my in-laws live next door, he's 36, has no job, and still lives with them.

It actually used to be a project car I owned. It WAS a red '95 5.0 5-speed.

I gave it to him as he begged me for it and I didn't have the time to do anything with it at the time. He's a bit eccentric I guess, lol. So he rattle canned it into police colors and he's a big Resident Evil fan, so he hand painted it up as a Umbrella corp police car, lol. It's just a lovely sight, lol.

Removed the bed cover, rails, and tailgait assist. Will reinstall everything, when my ordered Maverick is delivered.

2-3 weeks?……..in Montreal?
You are an optimist.
If you put your summers on, your neighbors will know whom to
blame for the next storm.
(B’s- Habs tonight! Not quite the old days. But still to be anticipated!)
