Folks, our life has changed drastically: no splitting time between MEX and USA, moved both sets of parents here to look after, and opened a shop on Jan 2026 to augment my waning consulting gigs. The shop gig: Reparation, Restoration, Legalization, and Resell of Golf Carts. Many of them get full...

I was a critic of the heavy use of Navy Pier (and the whites/lightlblues) of the XLT and Lariat interiors when ordering my Maverick. I ended up getting the Black Appearance Package, tint on all windows, and added a charcoal gray dash mat to diminish the blue and eliminate the...

So, my wife and I bought a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom furnished town home for my Mamá here in Green Valley AZ in August. This new reality, caring for Mamá, we've stopped splitting time between Mexico and the USA after 20 years. So Mamá will continue to have her independence, but is less than a 6...

Over at the sister site, Bronco Sport Forums, there's a Bronze Smoke gallery. I've pegged one of the SUVs becuase I can't believe how gorgeous the interior is compared to what we get in the Mavericks. Even down to rear speakers that are actually in the lower rear passenger doors. I hope for the...

The artists is called New Perfume Genius and the the Album is Glory. First I've seen one appear in artwork. There was that Mexican mini-series about 3 years ago on Netflix too that had one.

Not so much what I've done, as what I'm doing. I pulled over to, block from home, to get a 4 1/2' Sonoran Gopher Snake out of the road. He bee lined it for my truck, climbed up the suspension and into the engine bay. Great. You can see part of him in the photo, lying on the felt bottom engine...

Today, went over to a storage unit we have to manage our stuff after we've decided to put Mexico on hold for a while and stay in Arizona. Noted tires were liw and my phone was dying .. hooked up both to the adapters I've installed in the bed... Looked at the bed and thought, wow it's pretty...

You know the guy.. always had an opinion and signed them all Booyah with a Fist Punch? Never see him... Did he sell his Maverick?

As the title says. On Maverick AWD, the rear hubs are serviceable, that is you can install new wheel studs. I'm looking to add 5, 7 or 10mm spaces to the rear only and would like longer studs that the stock 14mm 1.5". However, I cannot find any that list compatability with Maverick (or AWD...

Well... my truck was in fact Hit Again. (This was the first HIt here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/joined-the-club-got-rear-ended-in-mexico-motorcycle-minimal-damage.59842/) As I was slowly pulling left into the cobble stone parking area in front of my house with my left turn...

As previously reported an older man on a poorly maintained motorcycle slammed into the back of my Maverick as I slowed for a speed bump here in Álamos, Sonora, Mexico breaking the right rear tailight lense cover. So, looking, but being the dark variant of the LED lamp, they are quite costly. I...

I thought this was an interesting video becuase there are allot of folks who run to put AT Tires on their Mavericks, only to barely go off of pavement at all... Everybody looks at off road tests when purchasing AT Tires, but what are they like on the road? Let's get this out of the way before...

An older man in a well worn motorcycle was driving too fast and did not react as I slowed for the first of 3 consecutive topes (speed bumps). I drive very slowly in Álamos, so there was nothing abrupt about my creeping over the tope. Claims his brakes failed, but there were light skid marks. Oh...

You don't see this very often in Hermosillo (nickname Hornosillo - meaning oven).. This was the Ford plant today.. It's not snow, but sleet.

12/31/2024 - Beer of the Day Seems necessary. Curious what Beers you all enjoy. This is the inaugural posts, so I'll start off with a nice beer from 12/27 Last Friday's Date Night at Teresita's Le Bleu Jazz Club, Álamos Sonora Mexico. Enjoyed a Negresíma Mexican Vanilla Stout from Punto de...

Folks, I sourced TPMS sensors from Amazon, purchasing 4 high-end ones.. Schrader EZ-Sensor GO 33560. Sync'd with the truck at time of tire install, but since they have dropped out frequently for days at a time, 2, 3 or all 4 of them. Obviously, I don't drive far enough for them to re-sync...

Folks, I frequent the Bronco Sports forum becuase they are so similar to the Mavericks, and I'm always curious to what the folks do over there that can be applied here. The other day, I ran across a thread where someone had adapted a 1" leveling kit to just do 3/4" on the front. That would...

I was pleased to fetch $900 + Shipping (additional $200) for my used BAP Alloys & Michelin Primacy Tires. There was also a $55 AZ sales tax too... Not pleased to see Ebay get $155 worth of transaction fees on the $900 sale. (the $200 shipping is not part of the sale as that went into Ebay's...

Yet Another Fuel Economy Tracking Thread. Didn't fit all of the tire upgrade or fuel economy threads, so thought I'd just document it here. Upgraded from 18" BAP Wheels with Michelin Primacy AS 225/60 R18 combo to 18" Bronco Sport Wheels with Pirelli Scorpion AS 245/60 R18 combo. Not worried...
