Mistakes were made along the way...
2 - 4x8x 1/2" PVC Sheet @ $100 ea.
4 - Latches @ $25 ea.
Misc hardware including hinges and support brace approx $150.
I wanted something that was easy to remove while providing some security. I fully appreciate that it wont support much weight.

I am really struggling with how to install a battery tender or supplemental charging system.
The picture shows that my '24 Maverick has tabs that appear to make it very difficult to install ring/spade terminals to the charging post in this small space. Do you just break off those plastic tabs...
I am trying to prep my 2024 Hybrid Maverick (with Motorcraft AGM out of pocket) for backup power and bought some stuff and the results are driving me a bit crazy. I thought I knew what I was doing but I guess I don't. Consider this a cautionary tale and not a recommendation of anything.
Part 1...
I was annoyed by a few things with my Maverick. 1)Lack of power points that were accessory, not constant. 2)Crawling into the passenger footwell to get access to 12V power. 3) Futzing around with those tiny fuses.
I back stabbed a connector to the BCM pin 35 which is a constant signal from...
Many thanks to @LazyMex2022 (also a user here as @LaxyMex2022 )and @Bumpers & Doors DIY for there excellent videos on YouTube.
It is raining today and I do not have a garage so this is what I did yesterday. Then I screwed up with one of the bolts during re-assembly and decided to stop.

Many thanks to @Lane for his excellent build write-up.
I am planning a sub-woofer add to a stock/not B&O stereo. I want to tap to the rear speakers for signal to a powered sub. Assuming the rear fade is >0, does the integrated line output converter care what the fade level is in regard to how...
That is how I read the 2022 Maverick schematic. That the GN-VT (drivers/LH side still can't find exactly the passenger side) is a body ground switch that is closed circuit when the door is opened.
I am trying to add some additional courtesy lamps to the footwell when the door is opened. I will...
I ordered a Mangoal dash cam based on the YouTube video from Fred's Garage. I even followed the link provided from YouTube. What I was received was different. Fred's showed a hookup into the OBDII port. Regardless of what you think about it, it did look easy. What I received only included a...
Desired Outcome: LED turn signal lights and reverse White. No Running lights as I want that contrast where flash bright competes with NOTHING. No Brake Lights as I want that contrast that the OEM taillights do NOT provide. No warnings or change of driving mode indicating a trailer was...
I have a mystery that I am trying to figure out.
Owner's Manual describes and many post have shown that the Maverick has two variant instrument panel clusters, 4.2 and 6.5 inch. ForScan has nothing on the subject as best as I can tell within the IPC section. I did a full (all sheets) search on...
I looked for this or something similar and could NOT find it about all the options that ForScan exposes at least on the friendly screens. I dont know why it was so hard to make the UI of ForScan better.
Doc was created with Win 10 Wordpad.
Link to the smaller file size Open Office format (both...
Does the activation code work across more than one Android?
Google suggests that the code is attached to something on the OBDII. I only have one of those and Forscan demo complains about it a little.
I have Android phone and a Kindle tablet with Google extensions. I have not tried out the...
I cannot find the perfect link on Amazon anymore; even in my Orders List.
But I received and in stalled these LED lamps after doing a bedliner.
Kit comes with four lamps with clips between each lamp but I decided 3 lamps was good enough for short wheel base. Extra wire was included for tie...
Pretty minor problem but seeking suggestions.
When I put up the custom sun shade it suddenly gets MUCH darker inside the cab. My eyes will eventually adjust but until then it is very hard to find the door latches to exit the vehicle as its black on black.
I want the solution to look nice and I...
I received the Rustoleum Pro 2 part Epoxy bed liner from Amazon.
The box was not damaged but when I opened it, it was clear that one part of the two part Epoxy had leaked into the larger plastic bag that it was packaged in. 90% sure it was part A, the smaller part.
Ideally you mix part A and...
Amazon says its 20" but what I received was a bit over 15". Still did a good job. Either size would fit the Maverick without problems.

I removed the front seats to make as tidy as possible and documented as helpful. Its a slide show which is more navigable...
In preparation for a bed liner install, I had occasion to remove the bed plastic trim. During the process a storm was coming and I covered the holes with a tarp and secured the tarp with the back doors. I still got a lot of water to leak into the cab that ended up in the buckets outboard of the...

Works reasonably well. The holder is MUCH stronger than the cubby plastic. The top clamp is a bit stiff and bends the cubby plastic.
I haven't been on a bike in quite a long time but its the standard ball clamp found on lots...
I watched the YouTube that was on point.
I dropped the spare and disconnected the camera.
I disconnected the cables.
I tilted the gate and got the passenger side to slide out.
But the Driver Side wont bunch and there are no markings that clue me in.
Just try HARDER?
Doing it in the grass in case...
