Great thought out post. I agree with everything you said. We are considering a Model Y since the decrease and price and tax rebates. Federal and state rebates are 10K i believe. My wife has a bronco, I have an f150 and the Mav was just for a little beater to run errands and save fuel.
Telsa's...
honestly the harbor freight hercules would work great. Not sure which is more expensive. I also keep an impact socket, ratchet and wrenches in my vehicles. I'm just lucky to have some older MW impacts I no longer use.
I've done it with beater I don't care about but not newer vehicles. My GSD likes to bark at people/ cars/ bikes in traffic.
What about using like a drop leg to go into the void a little and possibly add a piano hinge? Might be a little sturdier.
$100 when ordering and it's installed. $500 in parts after the fact and you'll need to install. Not hard but I'd only do it if I already had a truck and need the hitch. I don't think I'd change my order to get sooner and then install after the fact.
Great idea. I for one will be using the mav as a one/ two seater and will not use the rear for people. It's seems like you are still giving up one pocket under the wood on the driverside. Any thoughts to build an access door for that side or was that considered and dropped for some reason?
They'd have to drag me kicking and screaming. Just another pita thing that will drain the battery and cause potential issues. Funny, remeber the lights around the plates in the late 80/ earlu 90's? They said that was a distraction and gave tickets. How will this not be a distraction?
Been searching IAAI for one that is pretty good and found nothing. I'll have to look at Copart. Just checked and that looks like it was a wreck that was partially finished but lines don't line up. Inside driver knee airbag looks blown
Hey everyone,
Looking to see if anybody would like to have a meetup in the spring. I know it's early but usually scouting out an area is a little harder depending on the amount of people interested in coming. There is a local Cars N Coffee that would be cool for a bunch of Mav's to show up at...
Congrats on the purchase. I've been to that dealer before. I can understand questioning the purchase and I have thought mine over a lot. In the end, I found that what I mostly wanted was in the XL platform. The few things that were extra on the XLT caused me to not like the interior etc. I could...
The courtesy delivery may eat into the profits of the dealer and that is why they are a nogo. I also understood the lack of wanting to say where you are/were. Reminds me of another forum I was on. I sold an hk p30 to a person with a socom email address. He fell off the earth for like 60 days. I...
So as a Military member, can't you run standby on a plane going into Drum or another base close by? Not sure if this is a possibility for you. That being said, I'd run cheap tickets and drive back. I've done the drive last year wheeling a bronco in Moab. It's doable in 2.5 days easily.
Really like this idea and write up. Though I'd prefer the side mount, I see what you mean about touching the bumper. I wonder if a new plate brocket could be fabbed to include the lights for the side? The lights over the plate aren't an issue but I don't care for the wiring over the plate and...
I experienced extreme heat and codes when my nephew borrowed an AWD Nissan I had. Flat tire and he placed the spare up front which was a different size like above. Book said to put spare on rear.
