Here are a few pictures. I had the bars from my last vehicle, They are Jeep accessories made by Thule (look closely you can see the Jeep end caps, an easy swap). I had to order the towers and fit kit. I think the bars would be a bit longer if you ordered the Maverick specific kit, but I like the...
Exactly, I had the same curt hitches on a ranger, then a Subaru crosstrek, then a Jeep renegade. The Subaru and Jeep sounded like the trailer lost its wheels at times. The noise resonates through the body so much more then body on frame trucks
I still don’t know where all this bed rot issue comes from. If the slush I’m talking about is not allowed to enter from below, how is this increasing bed deterioration? By reducing the amount of water that comes in, by eliminating one of the infiltration points (not fully, I mentioned leaving...
One person replied mentioning unibody, I’m curious if the ridge line or Santa Cruz has the same feature. I guess I’m trying to compare typical separated truck beds to a unibody.
My concern with the water coming in from below is that it is salty and sandy slush kicked up from the road, why does...
I keep seeing mention of the cover, I’m not talking about the cover. I am fully aware that the covers are not water tight, nor would I expect them to be. I also am aware that there are small drains in truck beds toward the cabs. But the rest of the bed on other trucks is sealed. The issue is...
“its fairly well known that water can accumulate under the liner and cause beds to rust out. Letting the water drain would seem like a good idea.”
I’ve never experienced rust or any corrosion under a drop inbed liner without a cover in over 200,000 miles on one truck.
“What problem are you...
Help me figure this out. Every truck I’ve owned did not have drainage in the bed. The bed to sides are welded and sealed. The trucks I had that did not have covers would drain after the rain when I drove away, a waterfall would come out of the tailgate. That’s normal for all trucks, why is this...
Like the late Meatloaf said…
I installed the Kia home link auto dimming mirror with compass, stubby antenna with a signal booster, and 12 volt plug with USB ports in the bed.
the mirror and bed power were so easy, about 1/2 hour each, and they work great! The antenna, not so much. I was one of...
Heater on=drop in mpg
A/c on=drop
Quick take offs at the light =drop
Above 70 mph=drop
I noticed an uptick in mpg when I changed a few habits (except the a/c, still winter in RI, just speculation)
I had a Subaru crosstrek with a similar sized motor, all the same issues. When I drive hard, I pay...
So I’ve had the same issue in mine. I have an eco boost xl. Had it since thanksgiving. I noticed when I wear my sneakers and either a puffy coat or vest, I get a big shock leaving the truck. I still get shocked without the costs, just not as much. But when I wear my work boots, nothing. My boots...
