All good! 10K miles later and still love this setup - no issues to report in dry, wet, slick, or deep snow.

They are in the field of view, but I have always had roof racks over sunroofs and this is pretty much par for course so I don't find it bothersome. The towers are also high enough to allow the roof to both tilt and slide open without any problems. Also, there is some mild wind noise with ski...

Thanks for the compliment. The lane keeping mod was discussed on this thread. It’s a little tricky but nothing crazy if you’re comfortable with Forscan and modding in general. Should work no problem on a 22 XLT EB without copilot.

I specialize in audio engineering for high-end small spaces, including compact home theaters that have won national awards, and did this analysis work on my Tremor, as documented in my build thread. TLDR: The stock Maverick system uses multiple DSP tricks to make its parts-bin components sound...

There really isn't a ton of room behind that door trim piece - I don't think any decent tweeter would have enough clearance. Same thing with the A pillar - I took off the trim as part of the install and most of the prime real estate is reserved for the airbag. So without some serious...

I don't understand why people are confused about the size and DNA of the Rampage. Everything is platform-based these days, just like the Maverick is a C2 vehicle and is essentially a slightly elongated Escape/Bronco Sport with a bed. The Rampage is not really a RAM. It has nothing to do with...

A finishing touch that I have wanted ever since I took delivery and measured the dash cubby! I tracked down this Funko Mystery Mini figurine from the iconic Fallout series, a GameStop limited edition exclusive from 2015. One of my favourite characters from a franchise I've followed since it was...

Bought a new turn signal lever, and completed the fairly simple Forscan mod to add the complete Lane Keeping System (Lane Keeping Alert, Lane Keeping Aid, and Driver Alert) to my XLT. I sort of regret omitting C360 from my original build when I was worried about constraints, and will likely...

Another success, XLT Lux Tremor. Based on some of the issues noted upthread with the inverter and TSR, instead of directly copying the hex codes listed here, I used this process: Installed the new turn signal lever Found another XLT Lux Tremor, but with Copilot 360, on Carmax, grabbed the...

I’m pretty sure that I saw this regulated in the federal Motor Vehicles Act. Something about being able to reach your Timbits without having to take your eyes off the road.

I have them posted here and on other marketplaces, but no takers yet. Buying used tires doesn't seem to be as popular up here, but I'm trying. If I don't get a bite, there are a few buy-sell stores that will take them, but it won't be for as much. ☹ Toyo service confirmed that the correct...

The height and clearance difference is noticeable. I haven't had a chance to really challenge this combination off-road yet, but in other driving situations such as full-lock reverse over a speed bump, loading the wheel in a curve at speed while negotiating potholes, etc, I have not noticed any...

Finally decided to swap out the factory tires last week for a set of upsized 245/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT3s. Absolutely love them - my review of this setup

I honestly don't even bother looking at the mpg much - it's a Tremor, so I accept that for a Maverick it's just bad. That said, I haven't noticed a difference over the Wildpeaks - I think in terms of mileage it will be a wash. They're both A/Ts with a similar design and rolling contact patch -...

TLDR: I love this setup. I am more concerned with practicality than looks, so I was kind of reluctant to swap out the perfectly adequate stock 235/65s for something bigger. But I really wanted a little extra lift, and wider profile as I am clumsy and tend to bash rims. And yeah, it looks...

Thank you! Everything you need to know about the fender mod, including part numbers, is in this thread.

Full summer send!

One of the main reasons I bought a Maverick was for the ability to throw four mountain bikes quickly into the bed for the quick 5-45 minute rides to the trailheads from our place. Happy to say that the Fox Overland Midsize (which is a rebranded RaceFace T2 as they are the same company) fits very...

Audio system is complete and tuned - full thread in the Electronics forum with install, listening notes, and RTA test results.

Decided to add the Steeda strut tower brace to the engine bay and see if it tightens up higher-G turns or adds any understeer bias. Whether it actually makes a difference or not, I do enjoy the placebo effect - and it looks pretty under the hood.
