I think rotary/dremel is all unnecessary and makes more of a mess.
I used a hole saw (1-2" would work) for the two bottom corner radius, then drew the straight lines where I wanted them and cut through with a fresh blade. It's soft plastic. Planning my cut took the longest, but the cutting...
This one goes out for anyone with kids car seats. The last thing I want to do in an emergency is remove the seats, especially side of the road with them in the vehicle to get to the jack. And since this is a family/work vehicle, I needed to maximize the little bit of storage we have under the...
Thanks for the vouch, I appreciate it!
I'm not sure, I got it from work but I'll check later for any markings. It's commercial grade and the size is just right
Wife wants quieter tires, so I'm selling my wheel/tire or just tire setup. prices OBO
$950 $880- 17" black LP Adventure LP5 wheels in excellent condition with no curb rash, and BF Goodrich All terrain T/A K02 245/65/17 tires with 10k mostly highway miles. Tires run smooth and are balanced...
I don't know the brand of the exact one I have as I bought it through a 3rd party amazon reseller. I think he buys the returns to amazon and resells them. He was missing the crossbars so I got a good deal and modified Thule bars, otherwise the set from amazon would include heavy duty straight...
I believe this is the one I got or its a 250lb capacity. Home Depot Mockins brand. It goes on sale for $130 every so often under their "buy of the day". The only thing I didn't like is for the center piece the bars in the middle of the basket don't connect (can kind of see it in the picture)...
Amen. I assure everyone that I'm reluctantly cheap and often price shop for things when safety or damage isn't a concern. Suspension/brakes isn't an area to be cheap, and I've done a lot of suspension swaps on my previous road cars. I've never gone no name parts besides one time a budget...
All the industries have been a race to the bottom - it's easy for a consumer to quantify a price, hard to quantify quality. You've outlined that you use high quality materials, but if you put the same part in an average persons hand - one high quality, one low quality and polished up, people...
Yes stock suspension. I'll consider an upgrade and small lift in a few years when the factory warranty expires and there's tried and true setups out there.
On road performance is fine, but I don't beat on the maverick to really test any grip limits. They're just loud IMO. I'm hoping they're...
My $7 "cubby" isnt anything custom aside from the screws. The inside is just open space with no compartments and suitable for bulky light weight things - ie - bungie cargo net, light weight ratchet straps, a tarp would also be good in here. It's an enclosed space with a thin plastic floor...
You definitely could fit two side by side. That was my original plan and I ran out of room, will probably still do that. Def. good for groceries since weve banned plastic bags here and I still never seem to remember to bring a bag, so I dump them right from the cart into the bin every so...
The one I have is the milwaukee packout XL. I believe I bought them on Toolup.com when they had a sale and I got them for $80 each and some discount on the base plates as well. Otherwise they're usually easy to get at $100 from home depot. They don't go on sale too often though
Hoping this is my final form for a little while. I'm downsizing from a F150 8' bed and wanted a vehicle that could do it all without breaking the bank. I work in event production and property maintenance, so enough bed space/hauling was a primary concern, and snow/sand capability was another...
Side access to the rear underseat storage would have been nice for those that can't fold up the rear seats due to childs car seats. The Ridgeline has this area open and was one thing I really liked - I'll probably modify the maverick so I can access that under seat storage.
I wish the bed was...
Crappy pic but decided to snap one quickly today. EB XL.
Mods so far:
245/65/17s bfgs on LP wheels
White/amber fogs/strobes
Leather seat covers
Generic bed rack pillars with thule crossbars sit even with roofline
Generic cargo basket to maximize storage so I can finally say goodbye to my 8'...
Sort of similar situation here as well, I'm coming from a 8' bed so I want to maximize space and have an easy to remove solution. I have a bed rack for roof top long items, and in the bed went with milwaukee packout XL boxes and a mounting plate. When I need my tools I can lock the XL packout...
can you elaborate on this decoy tube?
Seems like if someones worried about the warranty (which seems like a valid concern and one of mine) just have the OEM units on hand and put them back in if you go in for any warranty work. From the little bit of research I've done, the OEM units aren't...
Thanks for the screen grab - the vertical part is exactly what I was hoping to cut out. I think it will look fine and serve it's purpose. Probably next weekends project.
I have something similar already from another brand which fits perfect length wise - this would be used for long trips/vacations.
Otherwise I have a milwaukee packout with base I just mounted, so when the tail gate is up and locked, the packout is locked as well, so far so good. Using this more...
I need more storage, and with two kids car seats I can't fold the rear seat up to access all that prime storage. I'm looking to modify the plastic under the rear seats so I can get side access (from the door side not the front) to the storage compartments.
I havent seen anyone do this, but can...
