  1. DIY Floor jack and jack stand saddle: I've never felt safer

    I built this saddle so I could jack up the Maverick (and our other cars) and then settle it on my jack stands. I've never felt really comfortable pulling a wheel with the truck only supported with the floor jack. It may be the most dangerous thing I do every 3 months. I didn't have a good...

  4. Tie down alternative? 90 degrees instead of 45

  9. Pickup Truck Trunk

    We switched to the Mav from a sedan and sometimes I miss having a trunk to throw a cooler and other stuff in.
