Recently. My wife and I headed out in the Maverick to run errands. We decided to save time by running through a fast food drive-in for breakfast. In addition to our biscuits, we each ordered OJ and coffee. As we started to drive off, we realized we had four drinks and two available drink...

Between rain showers and thunderstorms, I had an opportunity to install Maxzina’s roof rack rails. They are an easy install requiring no drilling. The trick is to leave the two piece mounts as loose as possible when bolting them together. This allows for maximum play when bridging opposite...

Mavericks are no exception.

I have always maintained a minimal tool kit for roadside emergencies in each of my vehicles. Usually, that has meant a canvas tool bag thrown into a corner of the trunk. I had a similar set up for my Maverick until recently. Harbor Freight has introduced an item that that I welcomed to...

I had my ’24 XLT into the dealer today to have my first oil change and to install my Ford external keypad. After three Mavericks, this was my first use of my points. I took advantage of the tire rotation to switch out the OEM two-piece lug nuts for a black one-piece set. Hopefully, I avoid...

I’m appreciative when I observe a seller responding to their customer’s needs. That is the case of Maxzina and one of their latest products. Maxzina took note of a number of Maverick owners expressing an interest in the commercial availability of a cover intended to protect the switches on the...

I’m just now completing another easy mod that combines products introduced by the two major providers of accessories for our Mavericks, Mabett and Maxzina. I have had Mabett’s sliding bed divider and rail system mounted in my truck bed for some time. It is one of my favorite add-ons...

I recently completed a mod for my truck bed making use of products offered by two of MTC’s sponsors, Mabett and Maxzina. I installed Mabett’s sliding bed divider some time ago. Since my Maverick did not come with the OEM cargo bed side rails, I ordered Mabetts bed divider and side rail...

I just received my pair of retractable truck bed tie downs recently introduced by Maxzina. As designed, the tie downs are intended to be mounted in a fixed position ot the upper corners at the foot of the bed. For small loads I make use of an elastic mesh net that I can drape over my load and...

Recently, I installed Mabett’s roof light bar. Shortly after installing the light bar, my windshield took a rock and cracked requiring replacement. Upon their inspection, the first nationally recognized windshield repair firm I called rejected the job. They stated that with the light bar...

I recently added Mabett’s truck bed divider to my Maverick. As it comes from Mabett, it is a great addition to my truck bed. The divider can come separately, or if your Maverick does not have the bed side rails, it can be ordered with the required rails. The divider slides fore and aft along...

I haven’t paid attention to the numerous posts about cracked windshields, that is until this AM. I awoke to find a 12” crack coming from the top edge to the center. There is no pitting or indication something struck the glass. My question is whether the warranty covers replacement?

I received Mabett’s LED roof-mounted light unit yesterday and started the installation today. I still have to route and secure the wiring to my under the hood control box for my overhead switch panel and to screw down the top cover. I ran the circuit for the nights temporarily and it works...

I picked up on a sport bar manufactured and sold by Tyger. I was fortunate to find it on Amazon Resell for half the original price. It appears that the rails for my tonneau cover will sit on top of the bar’s base that sits on the truck bed rails. That base is 1/8” steel with a 1/8 - 1/4”...

I can appreciate that in trying to keep the price of the Maverick low, Ford skipped on many of the frills that are common in more expensive vehicles. I have sent a lot of time under my hood wiring a number of accessories and modifications. As a result, one of the items I missed is a set of hood...

In June, I purchased and mounted a hood shield protector sold by Ipoqix through Amazon. What appear to be clones of what I purchased are offerd by a number of other sellers. I posted to Amazon a review representing my initial favorable impression of the both the product and its appearance. Now...

I recently received replacements for door molding trim pieces that are secured to my Maverick with 3M double-side tape. I have yet to strip the panels being replaced from my truck. For those who have removed similar items secured with 3M, is there any suggestions from your experience on the...

I have started my first audio mod on any vehicle I have owned. That is if you don’t count the cheap speakers I mounted in the back window area of my ’65 Mustang. I’m adding an 800W under the seat subwoofer with amplifier (ST800). The unit is too large for slipping under the front passenger...

Every time I think I’m done modifying or accessorizing my Maverick, someone comes along with something that just has to find its way onto my truck. At times, it is something another MTC member has done to his own that I find I must copy. Other times, it’s a new product that I find difficult to...

I recently obtained a subwoofer amplifier combination that is intended for installation under a seat (Seventour ST-800). With local thunderstorms happening almost daily, I have yet to take the unit to the truck to determine where I will mount the unit. I'll be looking at either under the front...
