Iāll soon be turning my attention from my truckās interior to the truck bed. I have several 60ā LED strips that Iāll be using to augment the illumination in the bed. My question is can any LED strip be cut down to a shorter size? I donāt want to turn the corner from the side of the bed to the...
Today with warmer weather, I chose to add a number of graphics to my ā24 Atlas Blue XLT hybrid. I understand there are strong divisions between those who personalize their vehicles with decals and those who view them as tasteless. Clearly, I fall into the first camp. I like the idea of making...
I have been working on setting up my recently acquired '24 XLT hybrid. I have focused on the interior, but had to do something different and chose to add several items to the exterior. First, I changed out the OEM antenna for a stubby I picked up off Amazon (TEKK Carbon Fiber Stubby Antenna...
I'm in the process of setting up my '24 hybrid XLT. Primarily, that means transferring or installing those items I had in my previous two Mavericks. I have to admit there are several new items to be added to this truck. Today, I installed one of those, a center console safe. I was not...
I picked up these vent vane trim pieces from Temu for less than $2.00 and thought Iād give them a try. They are simply cut to length and pried open enough to be slid in place. As you can tell blue is my color. They come in varied colors. Iāll be adding.some LED strips to the footwells for added...
Today I installed a bracket and quick release mechanism for my vehicle fire extinguisher under the driverās seat. The bracket holding the extinguisher I obtained from AliExpress at a cost of about $10. When the silver knob shown in the photos is pulled out, the extinguisher, still attached to...
I'm just now starting to set up my '24 XLT hybrid, luxury package, 360, as I want. I have no experience with ForScan and, to be honest, I don't see enough utility for me to warrant investing in the hardware and software. That said, I am very interested in adding TSR capability to my truck. I...
I spent a good part of the last two days first installing Mabettās side marker lights and then attempting to get the passenger side marker to work. Prior to beginning the install, I reviewed Fredās Garageās step-by-step YouTube installation video. (Fred thanks for producing the video.) I...
I recently took delivery of a ā24 hybrid XLT with the DIBL that comes with the luxury package. I quickly spent some time today looking at and planning for a number of mods for the truck bed including wiring a marine switch panel, LED strips, and additional rear facing LED pods. I was looking...
My first Maverick, a ā22 XLT hybrid, I lost in an accident. I was fortunate to find an available ā23 XLT (no options) just across the line into our neighboring state. It was not my choice of color, nor did it have the options I wanted. I always viewed it as temporary until I could get a ā24...
Does the Maverick share the same third brake light housing with any other Ford model. F-150? I would like to trade out the OEM light for one with a smoked lens cover. I find any number of third party products for every other truck, just not for the Maverick.
As requested, I have added photos to my earlier post entitled "This time, I won't say I'm finished". I have tried to include photos for all the items on my list of accessories and mods. I welcome your comments. Many of those things on my '23 will find their way to my '24 when it arrives.
You may recall that my '22 VB XLT hybrid was lost in an accident before my first year was up. I was fortunate in finding a '23 iconic silver XLT as an immediate replacement. I have spent some time installing those items I was able to recover from my first Maverick and repeating a number of...
I recently installed a 50" dynamic under the hood light strip and three six-LED pods as Raptor lights at the top of the grill. I tapped into the parking light's power wire coming out the back of the driver side headlight unit. Independently, both work and look great. The problem is with both...
After I lost my ā22 XLT hybrid (Velocity Blue, Lux, 360) in an accident, I picked up on a ā23 XLT hybrid (silver, no options) as my temporary ride. I have an order in on a ā24 Maverick in the color and with the options I want (XLT, Atlas Blue, Lux, 360). Regrettably, that means a DIBL rather...
I , perhaps in error, assumed I would find the '24 ordering guide available today online or through my dealer. When should I expect to find it available?
Iām starting to set up my new replacement Maverick with what I was able to salvage from my totaled Maverick before the insurance company hauled it off. Itās not as fun as the first time around.
I have access to a free 48ā tailgate light bar by Reno. My new truck is a XLT hybrid without a...
At the end of last month, I lost my ā22 Maverick (VB, hybrid XLT, Lux, SIBL, 360) totaled in an accident. Since then, I have followed a scheme employed by others to find their Mavericks. I reached out to every dealership within 100 miles inquiring whether they had any inventory or expectations...
After having lost my ā22 Maverick in an accident, Iām now searching in earnest for its replacement. My ideal would be to match what I had, an XLT, hybrid,, VB, Lux, 360, SIBL, but I realize I will have to settle for what might be available. I understand and appreciate Iām in competition with...
