First, Sam (gamgee) The Maverick
So, I've got an Alto blue 2.0 4k and I bought a awesome little trailer to it with.
I thought I might start a little build diary for both. There's going to be more trailer in here since it needs more.
Done so far:
Maverick:
Ford emblem overlay
Diy backseat extender for the dogs. It consists of two boxes and a vinyl wrapped bench. Comes in and out really easy. We store dog water, bowls, leashes and stuff inside the boxes. Leaves room to access rear usb. It's covered with a hammock style protector so doesn't really matter what it looks like, you can't see it.
I have a 110lb and 85lb dog and they are happy and comfortable with this in place. We've done a few 8 hour driving days and they were good to go.
Truxedo hard roll up tonneau cover. I love this thing. Easy to install, no leaks, and we can have everything in the back safely when the dogs take up the whole rear seat. So glad I chose this one.
Ceramic coat using crystal light. Again, so worthwhile. Glad I did it quick while paint still in good shape. Can't believe how good this stuff works.
Next morning. Yes I'm usually in my bathrobe. If you watch always Sunny you'll see the resemblance to the mcdoyles .
Here it is after a 7 hour drive to buy trailer, including lots of gravel roads and rain:
Bed extender I already owned from a sportrac. Just had to order the strike bolts. Fits great. I plasti dipped in teal to see if teal could work with the alto blue, because I love teal and would do the rims that color. It didn't work, so I'm not doing rims in that.
Also added fx4 drive modes using forscan, and have already had chance to enjoy the mud/ruts mode. Worth doing imo.
Only other thing is a k&n filter out if curiosity.
