My ancient knees will not tolerate crawling around on a hard bed liner so I opted for a Rough Country rubber mat instead. I purchased just the tailgate part of the liner as it protects the finish when hauling 8ft. yard timbers in the half way down position. The bed mat is great in keeping...

Another reason no one retires and moves north.

Carolina squat truck

All it needs is a set of $50 plastic chrome beauty rings from Amazon.

Interesting wheels or wheel covers? Would appreciate more info or a link. Thanks

Not a fan of the boy racer look. When I look at a truck I want to see more rubber and lesser wheel. I'd put the ride of my stock XL hybrid up against any of the modded combinations on this forum. If I ever go with aftermarket wheels they'll be seventeens as that was what the XL was designed to...

Great post. FWIW squat trucks are now outlawed in the original Carolina. Myrtle Beach will be a safer place to cruise.

Love the silver wheels. Don't know why folks spring for all black which hide the nice details.

I've repaired bent steel wheels with a hammer but you can't do that with aluminum wheels.

Add some $55 plastic trim rings from Amazon to break up the industrial look. They won't rust, fly off or add weight. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015G8E7OU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Conversation takes priority when I have a passenger and I usually do. Traveling alone for me usually means NPR. If you think car audio sounds good don't invest in a great home system. A properly set up acoustically correct home system will spoil you on anything less. In the past I've tried some...

Hard to imagine that any upgrades help much as a car's interior is the absolute worst environment for audio. Some would call me an audiophile as I've built and put together many hi-end home systems over the years in acoustically treated rooms. I can not bring myself to spend a nickel on any...

Wouldn't lower a hybrid and chance that expensive battery pack hitting road debris. A tire retread from a semi can destroy the battery.

If the lowered Maverick happens to be a hybrid there's the increased risk of damaging the battery from road debris. That could cost a few thousand. Road debris is a real problem. I once ran over a truck recap in a low-to-the ground sports car which destroyed the oil pan. Luckily I pulled over...

The number of watts is not so important unless you know the efficiency of the speakers. In my home system I can drive highly efficient speakers to insane levels with a single watt. And as you can see in the statement below all watts are not created equal as the first watt is the most impactful...

Nice but what would I do with my wife?

Same here. No snow and no salted roads means we don't worry about rust in South Carolina's Midlands. That's why used cars from this part of the country are sought after.

The link says it uses tape to install ?

I buy pea gravel in bags.

I used black foam insulation strips on the ends of my wooden divider so it doesn't scratch the paint. Wouldn't matter with a bed liner but a divider board will mar a painted bed. I have a Rough Country rubber bed mat and nothing slides around on it even when taking sharp corners. That really...
