This is TopGun, my new Maverick

[Barksdale123]

Very Cool. The Flags, what letters are they. Dad was career Navy and had them. I know what his were. Looks like some aftermarket work on the front. What did you do?

Golf, Alpha, Bravo. Not sure but maybe his initials or another acronym.

This is the stuff I'm trying:

Granted MN vs FL sun isn't much of a competition but I've heard good things about it.

I have been using Aerospace 303 protectant for years. We live in FL and so far it protects the Maverick bed cover, boat seats etc. I even use it on our boat cover. Great stuff.

I share your feelings. We will be towing it for the first time next week and can't wait to see if we feel the almost 1,000 lb difference to the previous toad. Has met all our expectations while at less than 1K miles but convinced it was the right decision. Enjoy the process of making TopGun my truck with the additions. More to come I'm sure.

Very good! Not common to come across someone that recognizes the flags. It's the first letter of my first middle and last names. My dad and all my brothers use similar plates in the front of our vehicles.

Up to now, I purchased the FX4 lower fascia from a Ford dealer and had it modified by the installer to fit. They added the brake breakaway, diode wiring kit and 6 pin connector from Blue Ox, with a supplemental charging line from the 6 pin to the battery from RVi. Then I added a license plate lamp holder, the custom plate and 20" 420 watt led bar with a wiring harness. I also changed out the turn signals bulbs with LasFit leds and have since added two appearance tow rings that will be seen in a future photo. That's just to the front, but I think I'm done at this end of TopGun.

I think I haven't had enough coffee this morning... My first reaction was "well, there's an 'M', an 'A', and a 'V', followed by..." Oh wait - that's NOT what he's asking... (Goes and gets more coffee...)

This is nice!
What is this part? Led lights or what?

The led bar, which included the wiring harness, was purchased as:

It was mounted by using this, upside down with the lip on the bottom, so it would not interfere with the adaptive cruise control box right at the bottom of the grill, on top of the bumper. That plate is mounted to the OEM factory supplied front license plate bracket:

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Still a few details pending but ready to be towed!

Love the Alto Blue. You done such a good job with the finish coating it looks like black chrome in some light. Great look...the mods are cool too.

Thank you. Here's an updated head shot with the dummy tow rings installed.

Not sure how you use the bar light up front? Im sure they are very helpful off the beatin path, but I see a few early in the morning on the way to work. Gotta say, very annoying!!!

As mentioned elsewhere, very handy when we go to back up the motorhome at night and setting it up after arrival. No intention whatsoever to use on the road. My previous toad had a similar set up for almost 7 years and never a problem or complaint for improper use.

I was a QM so easy to identify.
Bravo Zulu on your work
