Not a one for one comparison but a good demonstration:

Well, whatever the case may be, after using this product I can longer see the scratches and the texture does not look any different to me. I didn’t take before and after photos like I should have but I have plenty more scratches to fix and photo. I will report back to this thread and you can...

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. works great!

Well, rather than belittling your problem with sarcastic answers like the posters above :)....I will offer you an actual solution. This stuff was recommended in another thread, I tried it myself after scratching my upper dash with my fingernail. I only had to use the cleaner and light scratch...

How much do you want for your OE take-offs?

That is a sharp looking Maverick. You have good taste, didn't over do-it with the exterior mods. Are your window visors Maxzina or EGR?

There are no bad Mavericks, only bad owners.

Underdash kick panel. Probably not absolutely necessary. https://www.amazon.com/Maxzina-Compatible-2022-2025-Protection-Accessories/dp/B0DSVX9DLH/ref=mp_s_a_1_2

I didn't like the idea of surrounding the brake and gas pedal with a solid aluminum sheet, with the possibility of pinning the pedals in the event of a crash. Also, the Maxzina driver's side panel covers the OBD port with no way to access it without removing the entire panel. I didn't want to...

when!?!?!?!?!?

I just finished making a trace and cut copy of Maxzina's under dash kick panels in ABS so I can appreciate how much work you put into this. It is not easy to work free hand with plastic sheet and make it look decent. It took me a couple tries and a giant pile of ABS sawdust until I was happy...

If you ever have occasion to pull your tail light housings it will be pretty clear what the splash guard is there for. I pulled mine at around 8k to install LED lamps and immediately ordered the Mabett covers thereafter. The unprotected side housing and wiring harness was covered in rock salt glue.

Rank / serial number ?

Wow, that blows. Good looking XL. Can I have your tonneau cover? Just kidding. Sorry, bro. There but by the grace of God, go I.

I mis-used the term "over-rev". I meant revs higher than needed (engine breaking) when in tow mode but not actually towing. You're right again. I was thinking backwards in terms of the final drive and RPM relationship. I did put the qualifier "I believe" because I was basically guessing.

148ft lbs is really not that tight. Easily achieved with a 2ft 1/2 drive torque wrench. You could always carry a rubber mallet to smack the lug wrench if you have noodle arms. I wanted to add that after switching to solid, one piece lug nuts and torquing to 148 my brakes are much less prone to...

I run 91/93 only, also. I still get occasional lug, especially below 32 deg f. ambient air. I believe the FX4/4K tow suffers more from lugging due to final drive gearing, maybe.

Yes, exactly, short shifting. Tow mode will put you in 2k range with only the occasional over-rev when braking downhill.

Lol. Basically: lugging the engine is bad. Manufacturers are programming transmissions to lug the engine intentionally to achieve EPA mpg requirements. Manufacturers know lugging is bad for the engine and also annoying to the driver. Manufacturers are installing transmission components ( double...

Here is a good video addressing the intentional lugging of modern engines. I have gotten into the habit of switching between eco mode on the highway and tow in the city.
