Ran across this by accident. Pretty nice vehicle, but no more room in my shop! Meridian Idaho, not far from me. If this is posted in the wrong place, admin, just send it where it needs to be, thanks...
Hey Glen Baker, this one's for you! Wife and I are thinking of getting rid of her 2014 Toyota 4Runner. She really likes it, but we don't need a large vehicle for her anymore. Anyway, she really likes the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia. Nice smaller SUV that replaced essentially both the Venza and...
Stopped at Ford for the quick lane (or whatever its called) oil change, down to 1%. Service guy was looking at my Maverick on is computer and noticed battery was at 53%. Asked me if I was having issues with battery saver or the deep sleep modes. I told him if I don't keep it plugged in with...
Just read this from my son, locomotive engineer in El Paso. They deliver some of our auto's out of that terminal. BNSF railroad also out out a memo to the train crews. We interchange a LOT of trains there every week. I'll talk to him tomorrow to see if he has heard anything else new, he is...
Idaho members may like this. Did not realize this was signed into law in July. I have my plate mounted, of course, too late for me. I may remove and fill the holes in somehow. If any vehicle has a FACTORY MOUNTED bracket, the plates must be displayed on the front. If bracket was in the back...
Buddy of mine sent me this. At auction from "Bring a Trailer" site. Nice car, but not my thing, I'm pretty much stock kind of guy, although have done a lot of small mods to my Mav. Just thought some would find this interesting. Those are some weird looking wheels...
It appears Allstate is being sued for implanting tracking software into our cell phones and using said data to determine our rates. They are also selling that data to others and are in cahoots with several other apps also, such as "Gas Buddy", which I use frequently while travelling. My...
Kind of like opening a can of worms. Would like to see what else is in his garage! Read somewhere else Ford is losing another $4 billion again this year. Too bad, but someone there needs to figure out why this keeps happening. I suspect they dug a very deep hole investing way more than they...
I know there are many on here with Ford Rangers, Escapes, Mustangs and other models who will want to read this. A "do not drive order" by NHTSA. Stupid Takata airbags... Again! Be careful out there!

Well, Ford has an idea they are working on. Not sure where they find these idiots to hire, but someone went to the "boss" with this one. Thank god we have what, 10 lawyers for every person in the U.S. They're going to need many more as one can only speculate the legal repercussions. Hey...
Was looking around with Forscan yesterday and checked DTC has it showed the yellow triangle. Had two of these POA37, May 18 and May 28. Never got a check engine light, never got a notification in the app. I checked app and there are two Service Engine Soon Warning. Says "The Engine has...
Several months back I read on here about the gentleman who had used these parts to create side marker and turn signals on the cheap! Sorry, but I can't find that post. At that time Mabett was still working on their own design. It involves a purchase on Esty from a kid who 3D prints the lens...
Read this today and wondering if it's the same as on the Mav's? I keep all this stuff shut off anyway except the blind spot notification lights on the outside mirrors. Wife likes that one! Maybe these self driving vehicles need a lot more refinement...
Saw this and thought it could be of benefit to some, although not sure I would need it. Only a patent at this time, but who knows, might see it in a Mav some day!

I figured after owning truck for about 3 months now and participating in several post, time to post some pics of what I have done to the truck. ALL of these mods were idea's I stole from tis site, so thank you to those who were the first to attempt these. (BETA testors)!
1. Side marker and...
