  1. Tire replacement time is approaching.

    I am extremely happy with the Michelin Defender 2. I run them on my Maverick and my Transit Connect. We get enough snow in the winter that I use Michelin Ice-X from December through mid-March, but most of the time the Defender would be plenty of tire.
  2. Spare key fob hiding place

    But true! Locked myself out of my vehicle in the middle of nowhere 30 years ago, before cell phones..... hasn't happened since!!
  3. Good less aggressive tire for Maverick?

    I have the Maverick, and a 2012 Transit Connect. I drive each of them about 8500 miles a year. I have run the Michelin Defenders for over 5 year summers, and am on my second set of Ice X tires in 12 years. (3rd winter on them I believe) No dry rot, no appreciable difference in performance. I...
  4. Good less aggressive tire for Maverick?

    I agree. I settled on the Michelin Defender 2 for all my vehicles. Quiet, handle as well or better that any other I've tried and great tread life. I drove my 24 Maverick home from the dealer (32 miles) last February and put on 4 new rims and Michelin Ice-X tires that afternoon. Put the...
  5. What was the first thing you bought for your Maverick?

    Bedrug - protects the bed as well or better than any other option I have seen or tried, saves my kness if I chose to crawl into the bed, and looks terrific!! It's my fourth vehicle with a BedRug product, I recommend them highly!!
  6. Spare key fob hiding place

    I carry my keys in my right hand pocket. I have always carried a spare set of keys in my left hand pocket......about as secure as I can get.
  7. Bed ramp for loading and unloading road cases

    It's packed full with the drum kit in hard cases, 2 array PA systems(one backup), mixer(and a backup) backup mikes, several new drum head(in case I break one, which only happened once since 1968, and I didn't have a spare!! I do now!!) Tarps for rainy gigs, spare mic stands (the guitar player...
  8. Bed ramp for loading and unloading road cases

    It's a 4 x 6 LOOK trailer. I bought it new with the optional 15" wheels in 2017. Used to load everything in my 2012 Transit Connect, but the trailer is much easier to load/unload. Towed the trailer with the van for several years, but the Maverick is a much better tow vehicle!!
  9. Bed ramp for loading and unloading road cases

    I load drums and PA systems by myself, had the same problem. At age 73, it's not getting any better. Bought a small enclosed trailer! Load height is 15 inches, and the Maverick tows it easily!! And the bed is still free for the guitars and and amps when the other band members ride with me...
  10. Bedrug liner - experiences / review?

    I used E-Track mounted on plywood which is bolted to the bed using the factory mounting points on both sides. I use E-Track in my trailer and have multiple accessories available for the truck bed. (baskets, 2x4 carriers, straps, etc.) Works very well for me, I carry drums and PA systems in my...
  11. Bedrug liner - experiences / review?

    First thing I did to my 24 XLT. It's my third vehicle with a bedrug, haven't seen anything that suits me better!!
  12. What's behind rear armrest in the XLT or Lariat Maverick?

    My 24 XLT has cup holders in the rear seat arm rest....
  13. High Beam Disconnect for DD Fog light kit

    Thank you! I can't try to make sense of this til after this weekend, but it looks like an answer to me!!
  14. High Beam Disconnect for DD Fog light kit

    Thank you for your input! We think alike, I've tried everything you suggested, and had two mechanics try the same. Except for starting over with the F150 switch. Waiting for a wiring diagram from Ford at this point, and hopefully more information from DD today(sent another, more specific email...
  15. My Diode Dynamics fog light install - result photos

    I have contacted and called DD, no one seems to know the answer. Thanks for the answer though, I sent them another message a bit ago.
  16. My Diode Dynamics fog light install - result photos

    If you used the disconnect wire to turn off the fog lights when the high beams are on , where did you connect it? I can't find the proper high beam power wire on the Maverick. Lights look good though, love mine too!!
  17. High Beam Disconnect for DD Fog light kit

    Love my new Diode Dynamic fog lights! Look factory, lots of light where it should be. I haven't found the correct place to connect the high beam disconnect lead from the DD kit. In Pennsylvania, fog lights must turn off when high beams are on. All I is need is 12V power when the high beam...
  18. SIBL + DIBL Franken-Liner -- combination of spray-in bed liner from Line-X + the modular drop in liner

    It's polypropelene(sp?) just like on a boat. It doesn't absorb water, so technically it's not wet, but there is water on it. I guess the answer is that it is dry as quickly as most bed liners....
  19. Went old school…. Maverick build on chrome wheels

    Yes!!! Well Done sir...
