Didn't they do that in 1979! :D

I'm still trying to understand why he is even on this site. He has no intention of buying a Maverick Truck unless they remove all the modern tech from it and give it a separate frame no power anything and a stick that is capable of "Jumping". Jumping what I have no idea but I've never felt the...

How did you get it to snow inside?

Looks sharp! That is like the rubber mat I bought from Ford for my 99 f150 5.5 bed. They didn't have one for the short bed so I had to cut mine down too. Real pita to do. Used a hook knife on mine wish I thought of a jigsaw!

So then by this definition every unibody car made from the 60s on in your eyes are what? Not cars, are they car like vehicles but not really cars because they aren't body on frame. What do you call them if they aren't cars? Whats the Maverick then its unibody with a subframe so it's something...

Ask yourself Why would Ford's social media guy be contacting you about a sales order? Never ask the the guy trying to scam you to send you the official Ford Email these guys create copies of the official email and web accounts. Some use the real accounts but it reroutes you to them. Plus there...

So we no longer measure our "junk" it's gotten down to measuring our gas mileage? Lol So the guy who owns the Microjoule has the biggest! MPG 8,590. Everybody can now rest happy in the knowledge that none of you have won this competition.

No wonder you're in no hurry to get the truck back! That Sub must be a blast to drive. Not many days left to enjoy her before winter sets in. Then you'll have all winter to sort out your top end lol

You haven't said where this liner was done but from what you've posted it sounds like it was not a factory spray but dealer done after it arrived. Which is it because people are assuming it's a factory issue and it may not be. If it's a dealer install and they've admitted to having issues with...

I'm having nightmares now! I see a sea of middle-aged +, mid-life crisis types forming FoMoCo sponsored Maverick chapters replacing H.D H.O.G chapters all over the country! Large numbers of oldfolks taking over the streets in tiny truck packs. As I fall into this demographic would we be...

Those are a no for me too. No soft edges and too thin to hold up to daily use. Besides how much storage does someone need for small useless objects?

That's not entirely true. If you just go by the intent of both vehicles and the way they are advertised they are identical. It was marketed as "The answer to low cost transportation is simplicity itself." It was only 1,995 only 500 more than the beatle. It got 22mpg and sales skyrocketed during...

So give it up already! What's the project car?

Let me see if I'm following your logic on what a "truck" is. It has to be 4x4 no 2 wheel drive. Has to have enough ground clearance to go over stumps and heavy ruts. Must have front tow hooks to pull heavy vehicles out of the sand, mud etc. You just eliminated most every 2x4 half and 3/4 ton...

Is it a Cruck or is it a SUT? I think it's what happens when a Ranchero is allowed to breed with an F150!

Is this a factory spray, dealer done or independant liner co.? If its factory it has had plenty of cure time. No matter what, I think thats a lousy prep job. I'd have it back to who ever did it and have it redone.

Yes it is. I bought a 74 Maverick grabber in highschool in 82. 302ci, put 351 heads on it plus more engine/ drivetrain work. You're right, So much engine not much car. I had to balast the car to keep the rear gripping. Traction bars helped too.

VB XL tow package. Ordered Jan./22. Dealer told me build week of Aug. 19th but no vin number. Called Ford 3 days later they gave build date 9/05. Got email early this month build week 8/29. New email yesterday back to build week 9/05.

Love the way it came out! Don't normally like lifts mainly because they get the wheels wrong. Your set up looks clean. Nice job!

Thanks for the info, that is good to hear! My trailer gwr is just shy of 3000, 3500 watt genny at 100lbs so no issues there the other incidentals maybe another 200lbs. Not maxed but close to it. I do hotdogs and the like.
