The Mabetts use about 4 or 5 plastic retainers into the fender well, per corner. It comes with the clips, then yes, the double sided tape. Also, no problems, almost 3 months now.

Personally, I think fender flares are a must for the Maverick, not just for aesthetics, but for the protection they offer against shopping carts, etc..

Google AI says the stock 19" wheels weigh 37lbs vs. 27lbs for the 17" steelies. This tire weighs 40lbs vs 26lbs OEMs, so I see a 4lb difference at each corner, so not too bad....I really want the taller profile (close to 3/4" increase in ground clearance over stock) for the winter snow. Keeping...

I have purchased many new vehicles over the years, never had any issues getting a Vet discount....EXCEPT for Ford! To say that I am disappointed in Ford is an understatement, especially after getting discounts from foreign manufacturers like Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Toyota

I've run a couple sets of Blizzaks, great tire, sure a bit pricey too, but I find they wear pretty well and you'll get many seasons out of a set, as long as you dont run them too long Into the warmer months.

Interesting, I wonder if that's BC of "many years ago". Winter tires these days stay soft in freezing weather and have hundreds of sipes. I've been using winter tires on nearly all my vehicles for the last dozen years, principally BC I have a long driveway, uphill, bit off grade, with a hairpin...

Tirerack is having a closeout on these tires- NOS for $90ea. I picked up a set of steelies for $200, so they're going g to get mounted in preparation for next winter. The Winterforce2 tires are 2021 dated, but most experts will tell you that tires are good for 10yrs from manufactured dates, so i...

Noone has mentioned PPFs, for 1500 , you can get the leading edges covered...about $3500 for the entire Mav, but "one and done". PPFs dont need to be waxed/sealed and are self repairing and WAY more protection than ANY sealant/coatings. I had my Stinger CC, but from a guy that does side jobs for...

Nice option, but I'm on my 2nd SofTopper- formerly on my Honda Ridgeline too. I've never had a problem at all with sag. As long as the straps are tight at the corners, never an issue and I had mine installed on the Honda for 7 years. I like the weight/load bearing of the Wildtop, I can see that...

Nice, still rocking my 2001 VTR1000F SuperHawk, my poor man's Ducati 😂

Foan hardly covers the entire cavity....maybe 80-90%, I can still see into the firewall area

Ahh, yep, I live a few minutes from a major interstate running north-south, so not many EV/city miles for me...70/30 if I had to put s number on it...

Did my 1st change at 28xx miles, I kinda felt that waiting a bit longer for the "break-in oil" to do it's job was appropriate, then get it out...definitely didn't feel 7500 mile inotial OCI was a good idea. I'm going to have them performed every 6k moving forward. We have to consider that the...

After taking off the door panel, how the heck do you get off the black plastic panel to access inside the door skin to lay the sound deadening material- like Dynamat, Noico, etc...asking for a friend 😉

No, it cannot. There are 4 c-clamps that essentially hold the SofTopper frame to bed. The beauty of the Softopper is that it's much like a manual convertible top- up/down in a single minute and it's mostly waterproof. However, it can never be fully secure. It's perfect for my doggos- one of them...

Ok, getting everything together, I just have the Mabett hood deflector with the built in lights to install. Oh yeah, Ford tailgate applique too, but here's pics so far:

2025 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD 4K Eruption Green Ordered: 1August2024 Order placed: 2August 2024 Received: 5April2025 So, about 8 months + 1 week. If it had come in 1 week earlier, it would have cost me $1500 more, as Employee pricing was announced just days before I picked it up! I'm...

My 2025 Lariats ok, id give it a 5/10...maybe 5.5/10, but i think with a bunch of sound deadener in the doors and perhaps roof/A-pillars, I could be very happy with it, maybe getting it to 7/10.

Yeah, I installed mine last week, I must also add that the finished quality. leaves a bit to be desired. The installation went fine, but the edges where the plastic meets the actual paint- the seam if you call it, looks a pretty gnarly. You won't notice it from 7-8ft away, but i know it's there...

I’m pretty sure I’m over it 😂 I’m not crying about it, we’re all here to share stories, I’ve just shared mine. I’m not losing sleep over it buddy, I knew from the very beginning that it wasn’t the end of the world, shit happens, drive on. Body shop called, they’re not going to even charge me-...
