Hey folks,
Here's my dad truck. I'll try to update this post as I work on it and provide links, reviews, and feedback of the products I've purchased and their installation.

Just came back from having new shoes installed and figured I'd post a couple of snaps.
I'll add more details to this later but some of the things I've done so far are adding black Ford badges and a matte cover over the edge to hide the chrome. I removed the tailgate's chrome AWD badge and...
Bumping an old thread because I'm also looking at the Coleman 17b. It seems to just barely squeeze under the max tongue weight rating and at a little over 21ft, it's quite a chonker for such a small truck.
Did you end up trying it out? As far as I can tell it should be fine but first-hand...
I'm just amazed that the engine swap was a straight swap. It's way beyond my abilities to do but it's certainly something to aspire to one day. This is awesome!
The Maverick's unibody and transmission aren't designed to accomodate a plow. The manuel explicitely states against it, meaning it would also void your warranty.
Is this theoretically possible? Sure. Should you? Probably not.
The Musology cargo net is a repackaged generic Chinese-made net you can get from Princess Auto (or likely from Harbor Freight in the US) for under 10$. I've order both and they're the exact same item. The only difference I've found is that the Musoloy kit comes with metal carabiners, whereas the...
I had the roll-up tonneau cover installed by the dealership and while it seems like it's good quality, I'm concerned about its long term care. The temperature in Quebec can range from above 40c in the summer to minus -40c in the winter, which makes it a particularly harsh climate to fabrics...
Just as a follow-up, this weekend I re-wired my Kicker HS10 all-in-one subwoofer/amp combo. I had initially set it up for temporary testing by tapping into the rear passanger speaker. It worked fine, albeit less than optimally.
I'm now tapped into both front speakers and am happy to report that...
It's getting signal from the both front speakers. I had initially just tapped into the passanger rear for testing but the difference between both sources is pretty minimal. It sounds okay but for the price, I was expecting a little more "oomph" I suppose.
Running into issues with the wiring. There are two blue wires; one looks like 18 gauge and the other is 20 gauge if I had to guess.
Also really struggling to figure out if the cable I'm looking at is gray or brown.
I plugged in what I thought were the correct cables only to be greeted with the...
Resurrecting an old thread because this has been happening to me. The chimes only play on the dash speaker, and I'm concerned.
I've recently installed a Kicker HS-10 all-in-one amp/subwoofer. Could I be draining the battery and causing this? The unit is set to turn in with DC and high-pass...
