This is one of the trucks that came with my employers purchase of a legacy towing company a few years ago. The original owner of this F600 built this bumper 50 years ago... should be good for a daily driver in traffic... May have to fab a couple new bumper brackets to fit the Maverick

Well last night I decided to stagger out to the shop and TRY to install the tonneau cover I bought on Amazon... Seemed to be of good quality, poor directions written by someone who has a difficult time with the Engrish language. But better than my Cantonese I must admit. After two fricken...

I have to pay for this darn Maverick so I hauled 25 cows from their summer pasture back to the farm where they will spend the winter... they were all kinda vocal as it was the first time they were separated from their babies... you can't haul cows with calves as their would likely be some...

Got back from a 750 mile round trip with the Marverick. I attended the funeral of my late brother Jerry's oldest son. A sad day but the community showed up in droves at the church and cemetery to pay their respects. Rodney was a Vietnam veteran who had long term health issues after exposure to...

Ok. I have an affinity for large body oil filters. I mostly use an FL1A size filter on my Ford and Mopar engines. The FL910S spec'd for the Maverick 2.0 has the same 3/4"-16 thread and the same dimension for the gasket. The oil pressure relief valve is set for 14#'s. Other brands I have seen...

Okay... This Maverick journey started a week ago with a trip to my local Mitsubishi dealer thinking we may buy a small roller skate with good fuel economy and low payments. A test drive showed my wife and I the car was too small for our yearly trip to Florida. On to the Ford store to see a...
