Iām exploring possibilities for adding additional external lighting to the front of our Mavericks. Can the upper black portion of the front grillwork come off without a need to dismantle the bumper? That would also mean taking off the trim piece that bridges between the two headlight units...
Today, I completed installing a 12ā amber light bar to the lower portion of my front grill. My intent was for the light bar to serve as a fog lamp. Although having moved to northern Alabama several years ago, I have yet to experience fog here. If Iām truthful with myself, I just wanted to add...
Iām posting photos of my two most recent additions to my ā24 Maverick. Both products came from Amazon. I have included screen shots for both product sites. Standard 3M tape is used to secure them to the truck body. I have been pairing smoked or black exterior details to my Atlas Blue...
This is the last of my series of postings providing a list of mods and accessories with photos I have added to my ā24 XLT hybrid, luxury package, Ford 360. This post addresses the truckās exterior.
Tinted front side windows and added front brow
Mounted OGYE American flag metal trailer hitch...
Having the availability of an auto lift I took the opportunity to install a pair of 3ā amber spot and flood LED pods under my rear bumper. My primary interest is to illuminate to the rear of my truck when Iām hooking up my PWCās trailer. Therefore, I chose not to tie the lights into the OEM...
I just completed the installation of a pair of ditch lights on my ā24 hybrid XLT. Wiring goes to my under the hood control box for my interior switch panel.
Tomorrow I have access to my grandson-in-lawās garage auto lift. I thought I would use the opportunity to mount my Mabett fender flares and mud flaps and get started on my project of mounting a pair of 3ā LED pods under the rear bumper.. Rather than tying the lights into the reverse taillight...
Iām not sure I will use it but perhaps twice a year, the Fourth of July and Veteransā Day. I now have a means to mount a flag on my Maverickās tailgate. Other mounts I have seen commonly clamp to the truck bed's side rail and interfere with a bed cover. This one extends from the side of the...
I have started a series of posts capturing those accessories and minor mods I have completed on my ā24 hybrid XLT. In doing so, I have chosen to break it down in parts. My first cvered the pickupās bed. My interior was the second and posted just recently. I still need to edit that post...
Yesterday, I received a pair of LASFITās switchback LED turn signal bulbs for my ā24 XLT hybrid as a result of my name being drawn in LASFITās recent lottery giveaway. I was anxious to install them as I have not upgraded any of my OEM bulbs with their products. I know many Maverick owners swear...
Iām now working on personalizing my third Maverick after having lost my first in an accident and trading in my second for my current hybrid XLT. Many of the items on the list that follows are quick drop in accessory purchases. Some of the easy mods are nothing more than hard wiring power cords...
Iām awaiting delivery of a keyless entry keypad for vehicles without factory remote start for my ā24 XLT hybrid with the luxury package and Ford 360. I admit to now being totally confused whether my Maverick has āfactory remote startā or not . The vehiclesās window sticker says I have remote...
It had to happen. My ā24 is throwing its first fault indicators. Two warning banners have cropped up together on the dash display. The first tells me that my pre-collision system is unavailable. The second states that the front camera requires service. Has anyone else come across these...
Iām looking to overcome my hesitancy as to where to draw power from under the hood (24 XLT hybrid). I have a switch panel and control box (relay controlled) with the control box mounted up against the firewall in the engine compartment. I had been thinking of going to the post under the red...
A few days ago, I posted a list with photos of what I had done in my truck bed and the rear view of my Maverick. Although Iām not finished, LED strips in the bed, a tailgate light bar to tie into the taillights, and a pair of 3ā LED pods facing rearward hung below the bumper remain to be...
Having spent most of my time on my new ā24 hybrid XLT tricking out the interior, over the last several days I turned my attention to the truck bed and surrounding. What I have completed includes:
Installing a tailgate mounted step ladder
Mounting Molle panels to both truck bed side walls...
Iāll soon be turning my attention from my truckās interior to the truck bed. I have several 60ā LED strips that Iāll be using to augment the illumination in the bed. My question is can any LED strip be cut down to a shorter size? I donāt want to turn the corner from the side of the bed to the...
Today with warmer weather, I chose to add a number of graphics to my ā24 Atlas Blue XLT hybrid. I understand there are strong divisions between those who personalize their vehicles with decals and those who view them as tasteless. Clearly, I fall into the first camp. I like the idea of making...
I have been working on setting up my recently acquired '24 XLT hybrid. I have focused on the interior, but had to do something different and chose to add several items to the exterior. First, I changed out the OEM antenna for a stubby I picked up off Amazon (TEKK Carbon Fiber Stubby Antenna...
I'm in the process of setting up my '24 hybrid XLT. Primarily, that means transferring or installing those items I had in my previous two Mavericks. I have to admit there are several new items to be added to this truck. Today, I installed one of those, a center console safe. I was not...
