Yep! "Duel", 1971 with Dennis Weaver being chased by what appeared to be a ghost truck (or something!) A classic a lot of us old timers remember.

Nope. Colorado is a "Rogue" nation. They do as they please there. My friend the Trooper says can write that citation on any road. States can set the speed limits on any section, including Interstate highways. Yes, in Colorado, you can be ticketed for "impeding traffic" (C.R.S. 42-4-1103)...

Chrome for me also, but I have the black lettering at the present. I'm still waiting for someone to figure out how to get the Crager SS (chrome) mags to fit our Mavericks.

Roadmaster Invisi-brake. Installs UNDER the seat, so nothing to put in, clamp on the pedal or take out. Once adjusted the first time you don't need to touch it. Just plug in your umbilical (tail brake light and charge cable) and go. I have a charge line also to keep Maverick charged up at all...

I just couldn't do 55 back in the 70's fuel crunch days. Sammy got it right. Enjoy the tune!

Before I left Colorado in 2015, the state passed a law if you were driving the speed limit and all, or most of the traffic around you was exceeding the speed limit, you would be ticketed for impeding traffic. The idea was the traffic was moving smoothly and YOU were the hazard. Try to beat...

My best friend is a state trooper. Pulled over a guy once who asked him if he had met the quota. He said no, they did away with quota's, now I can write them all day long!

In the fuel crunch of the 70's and speed limits 55, many truckers and myself included, ran CB radio and "fuzz" busters. Never got a ticket. I only ran about 75 most of the time. Never got speedy in the cities, mainly out of town, then set the cruise and "let her fly". Here in Idaho most do...

I do have the black lettering, but I must say that looks very nice. May have to peel mine off and get this!

After some thought I'm thinking I'll just put up with the inconvenience of the battery maintainer, although it is very simple and quick to throw it on there. If I can get motivated I may just do the old fashioned pull the fuses one at at time thing with a meter connected between cable and post...

Yes, I have a good clamp meter that will do what is needed. Several days ago I changed (Forscan) my battery to read flooded instead of AGM as I do have the original flooded battery. I also moved up to 95%. I think you are correct, makes no difference! I keep my battery maintainer plugged in...

I promised to get back to everyone when Ford completed my parasitic draw test, supposedly using the "new" test. Local Ford dealer had my truck 2 days and when I dropped off the vehicle, the service guy looked at their computer and said he could "see" my battery was at 11.8V. I asked, "covered...

I tried a different link and it worked. https://www.diehltoyotabutler.com/heres-what-we-know-about-toyotas-new-compact-pickup/ The article does stress 2027 debut. Guess we will all have to wait and see. Never count out Toyota. They play the car game like Kenny Rogers played the gambler.

Link not working for me. Says "Forbidden". I'm real scared now! Ha!

Welcome back brother! Just out of curiosity, what made you trade in for the Bronco, and, why did you want rid of it? Also, did you consider any other options before coming back to a Maverick? I do like those 25 XLT AWD (4k tow) Mavericks. If I were to get rid of this one, that is the exact...

Many dash cams have a power brick with settings where you set the cam to turn itself off if power sinks too low. I have a Viofo and the settings are 11.8, 12.0, 12.2, 12.4. It works. Here is a link to just that accessory...

One of the best scenes in the movie, can't remember the gal who plays the rental agent. Another good scene is (just before the car fire) when John Candy plays the imaginary keyboards on the front dash while listening to Ray Charles "Mess Around". Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a classic! My...

Not a fan myself, but I know there are those Boise State Bronco fans who would add some blue to off set that orange and viola! They would be some happy campers. Or, should I say, some happy "tailgaters"!

I had a similar, 1974 Datsun B210. Great car, 39 mpg. But a slug. Doors were thin maybe 1 1/2" thick looked like made of tin. Drove it 201K miles though and sold it. Interstate limits here in the west tend to be 80 mph, and some drivers are pushing 85-90. We have a short on ramp here and...

Nice tow rig!
