  2. Early Maverick Sketches Included Bigger Display Screen

  3. Anyone have the side plastic warping?

    Record heat in our area and my rails haven't budged a millimeter. Of course I don't have any accessories that constrict the rails expansion and contraction either.
  4. Ecoboost Starting issue

    A few more details would help the diagnosis.
  5. Lithium instead of lead acid 12v

    Because, as mentioned above, that battery is for motorcycles and scooters. A auto rated battery is over $1100. That's a LOT of standard battery replacements. https://dakotalithium.com/product/dl-plus-12v-135ah-dual-purpose-1000cca-starter-car-truck-battery-plus-deep-cycle-performance/ You're...
  6. Anyone have the side plastic warping?

    The bracketry mounted on the truck is not allowing the plastic to expand in the heat it normally would so it is compensating in the direction of least resistance.
  7. Since the price of fuel has gone up so much... how to prevent boost on a Ecoboost?

    The ecoboost has a "happy place" where it runs at it's most efficiency. It's a combination of boost, rpm, af ratio, load,etc. If you start playing with one you'll mess up the rest. Less boost will only make the engine lug to try and do it's job which will hurt fuel economy every bit as much as a...
  8. Help with keeping neighbor cats away

    Go take a poop on the hood of their car and see how they like it.
  9. Confirmed: The Paint Sucks

    I have painted my own cars for 30 years, two are in the showcase. I have sprayed lacquer, epoxy, enamel, and the new water based paint. While there are some durability differences, in the grand scheme, if the factors that can happen come up snake eyes then you're gonna get a chip. The...
  10. Confirmed: The Paint Sucks

    You're paint "upcharge" is for the color. Fancier colors require different ingredients to create that vivid metallic look, the flip flop in the sun, etc etc, and you are paying for those ingredients. The actual painting process is no different, primer-base color-clears. The occurrence of a chip...
  11. Confirmed: The Paint Sucks

    That magic ceramic stuff everyone loves only applies a film thickness measured in microns. Something causing a chip tears the paint away down to the metal. Ceramic won't do squat to prevent that.
  12. Confirmed: The Paint Sucks

    Edges are the most susceptible to chips be it a Yugo or a Rolls Royce. It is what it is.
  13. I've had better nights! Maverick hit @ 1K miles 😔

    Two general rules of thumb. You KNOW the other guy's an idiot so drive accordingly. Ultimately, YOU are the one responsible for how you drive your vehicle.
  14. I've had better nights! Maverick hit @ 1K miles 😔

    It was 7 seconds from the Jeeps turnout until impact. Watch the clock on the bottom. On any of the versions I've watched there's no audio to listen to the engine's rpm so it's difficult to determine continuation of throttle vs beginning of braking. If the OP was one of the drivers I ever had...
  15. Front Door Needs a Good Slam to Shut

    My drivers door seal took a little time to break in. Warmer weather now will help. I'd rather have a seal that does it's job but needs a bit more effort to close vs one that has wind noise.
  16. Get a quote from Katzkin Seat Cover

    I bought custom leather upholstery from https://leatherseats.com/ for my Mustang years back and installed it myself. If you have a bit of mechanical ability it's not that hard at all.
