I just want to say to all my fellow MTC members in Appalachia and the central South, I hope you are alright and safe. Living on an island in the middle of the ocean we always fear the storms, flooding can bring ultimate devastation. From what I have seen it looks like many are in the grips of it...
You all know me as the Maverickman. Some of you may even know the my wife is a 5 year survivor of stage 3 breast cancer. A couple years of chemo, 4 surgeries, and 5 years of hormone therapy and she was feeling pretty good about things.
Unfortunately this spring she started having nausea...
Not sure if this should be in the Off-topic or the Automotive segment of our forum here. Either way me and my wife are very excited to have put a downpayment on a brand new Bobcat CT2025 compact tractor. Many of you know We live on Maui, some of you may know we live off grid down a dirt road on...
Got a couple things done on the Tremor today. After our camping trip last week it was evident we needed some rear end support. It was time to put in the AirLift load bags in. I decided to do it the slightly harder way and not jack up the truck. I just ran it up on ramps and fought the folded up...
Well we made it. We are finally here at Kipahulu campgrounds in the National Park outside of Hana, Maui. It was a long(lol) arduous journey through closest tropical rainforest to my house! It took us 2 whole hours to get here. 42.3 miles and about 900 turns lol. The road to Hana is a very fun...
Aloha! We havent camped for a very long time, its been nearly 5 years. Those are the years since my wifes cancer diagnosis. Today she is doing alot better. Working full time building houses, keeping me moving, and still time in her day to love 3 cats and 2 dogs. We used to go with a really nice...
I remember a while back someone being concerned that the Maverick wouldnt have all of its AWD traction while in reverse, either for offroading or backing a trailer or whatever. So I hauled a load of lumber home the other day. Just a rough guess I put it around 1900lbs given its overall mass...
Just found the Subaru Brat test truck everybody is talking about. It's Forester based and has a lowered ride height to appeal to the mini truck crowd. Makes my Tremor look huge by comparison!
It was actually a custom project car for a body guy on island. He did it himself rear window is...
Crazy prices for a Tremor on Maui. It is the 2nd one on island after mine and also HPR. I get it's a lariat but I paid 29k for mine. This is crazy!!

Saw a color matching hybrid the other day at the Lowes lumber yard. Not sure what he was working on but said he has nothing but love for that truck. We were buying material for a utility cabinet and battery shelf for 8 golf cart batteries for our new solar system in the carport we built for our...
Just came across this new youtube review from some boys up north. They took it on some decent trails and got it almost as dirty as Ive gotten mine.
They did bash it for not having more cameras, would be cool but only at a certain price point. Like I wouldnt pay $1500 extra for em. But otherwise...
I hauled 4 solar panels and a couple of mounting rails home today. This is in addition to 2 good sized dogs, 3 big bags of laundry, 15 gallons of water, a new Milwaukee shop vac, aswell as our truck fridge. Here is some pics of it along with every other pic of it working that I have taken.
Has anyone installed a switch in-cab to control the flex bed 12v power outlets?
I have a XLTremor that just had the blank 12v wiring doors in the bed. I put a 12v outlet on one for my fridge/freezer and on the passenger side i put in a lighted switch that controls 10 led lights I put throughout...
Canopy just named their pickup which is a derivative of the one they built to test for the Army. It's the one vehicle I am also considering buying as new. I like the designs the company uses. After seeing the beds capability I honestly think it could possibly be useful to me as my work vehicle...
We took a trip with the nieces and nephew up to Poli Poli on Maui. We just did a basic picnic cruise up to the high ridge and back down. Its a fun way to go up the mountain. After 5000ft its all offroad, but you can only drive to about 8500ft. Still alot of fun, some good switchbacks and some...
I know, illegal, dangerous. Irresponsible, expensive, impossible, think of the children, etc, ect, ect.... but the Maverick is capable of hauling about 250 gallons of gas. With a light pair of drivers, a tuned 2.3 swapped AWD XL and enough room in the back seat for various electronics and other...
Took a few pictures of my sister in laws new Falken AT3Ws in 265/65r17 for comparison our Tremor 235 stockers. The tread void gap is huge!!! I am gonna try and squeeze to 265s on my Tremor stock. I need that extra grip. Has anyone had em on a stock Fx4 or Tremor with stock wheels? These will...
