This has been going on for a while now. So on the dash screen, my displayed temperature is around 30 deg higher than actually outside. While it doesnt appear to affect how the truck runs. It does cause the HVAC to not work correctly on start. So instead of heated seats or steering wheel turning...
So im working on my front end and I noticed some roughness at the top of the splitter. on closer in spection, every bit of adhesive from the edges up to the opening in the middle has completely given out. While I think the screws and clips are holding well, im a tad worried if the top gives out.
considering doing fender flares but the ones im looking at (EGR and Rough Country) have a rubber trim around the edges between the truck and flare.
Is there a way to do this without them?
Right as I turned the truck on. I heard a loud pop and the speaker started blasting static out all the speakers. Trying to turn the truck on and off real fast didnt fix it. It stayed this way until I turned off the truck and left it for several minutes.
While it was doing this, none of the...
I decided to update the table I had back when I was looking to buy. Its not everything but most of stuff that was around when I was looking.
Edit: Items says N/A just means they are no longer available as an independent option. Some items are still available but only through the purchase of a...
I didnt know this was a thing but apparently there are kits that raise a rear seat's height to get more clearance over the storage to put bigger speaker boxes and such.
Is there anything like that for the maverick yet?
Decided to make a thread covering my truck. Since its starting to add up.
So the list of add ons has gotten fairly long now. Some items were done locally or cant be bought so I didnt list anything.
Body:
-Air Design Front spoiler (Fast Mavericks)
-Air Design Tailgate spoiler (Ford OEM Depot)...
Since it seems like the truck isnt very fast at recharging its 12v battery when drained. With all the extra lights im adding, mine will need some extra help. So what device do you use to getting fully charged again?
Finally finished my project to get the brake calipers painted and wheel lights installed. The brake calipers were painted with a Color matched M7440 atlas blue metallic paint from G2. The wheel light kit is a V1 17" double sided kit from Mictuning.
I'm running cables across the cowlings from passenger to driver side. I'm trying to find something that would work well to hold multiple cables in place going across that doesnt look horrible. I was using zipties for a single cable but now that its several cables, Its not looking too good.
This will probably be an ongoing thread so i'll likely keep posting as I go. I'm installing wheel ring lights which requires removing all the brake components without replacing them.
Question 1. On the front brakes, Just removing the 2 15mm hex bolts allowed me to remove the entire caliper...
If Im only removing my brakes temporarily and not replacing anything, Do i still need this tool or will I be fine just using maintenance mode?
This is in reference to the E brakes on the rear.
Decided to paint my cowling. Other than it being a little time consuming, it was pretty easy to do.
supplies:
-spray paint of choice (Kustom Canz color match paint $30 shipped)
-clearcoat (1k clear duplicolor $20 autozone)
-blue painters tape (already had)
-brown masking paper ($5 lowes)...
Selling my factory rims. they have 7k miles on them. Im located in 70819. I'm open to shipping them for additional cost. They weigh around 52 lbs each.
Includes:
4x Michelin Primacy A/S 225 60 R 18
4x 18 Inch Machine face Bright Aluminum Wheels
4x TPMS sensors
20x 14x1.5 chrome lug nuts
Was looking at wheel spacers to even out the front and rear looks. Other threads have indicated that ideally I'd want 15mm (5/8") on the rears to make them match.
From my measurements, The studs stick out 30 mm from the hub. My rim has 10 mm before the lug nut engages. Since the lug nuts are 14...
So this is something im wanting to try but have never messed with. Id like to not remove them if possible so im looking for some advice from those who know better. So the process ive seen so far.
spray down with brake cleaner and wipe off after a few minutes.
Do we need to sand them down or...
trying to figure out an electrical gremlin. Installed the diode dynamics fog lights. Instead of a t-tap, I make a small harness that connects to the 12 pin molex and has an extra connector out for the fog lights. This worked fine for months.
Now my marker lights are having issues. Passenger...
Since I got my grill bar color matched, I got to keep all the extra paint to do touchups. my question is should I also be adding clear coat or something else afterwards?
So far im only doing it on the door edges. There is a spot on the hood that im unsure if I want to touch or not.
Also, any...
