FYI for everyone. I got a price offer of about 30k from Carvana for my Eco XL AWD almost 2 weeks ago after finding out I'm going to get a company vehicle to use. I submitted everything to them and I'm still waiting for them to schedule a pickup at which time they said they will issue me a check...

Talk about timing, I just found out yesterday that I am being provided a company vehicle for work and personal use. Already got a quote from Carvana, a little over 29k which nets me a few thousand over what I paid. I'll be reverting everything back to stock so if anyone is interested in a...

I also wanted to mention that rear camber is not adjustable and was slightly out of spec with positive camber. Unfortunately it's not adjustable from the factory so I'm going to purchase some adjustable rear camber arms and get the rear re-aligned. Something else to consider if going for a lift.

Not really sure how being 1/2" lower would benefit you? I think it will actually bring the widest part of the tire closer to the pinch weld at normal ride height.

No rub but it's pretty close, maybe a 1/4" of clearance with the pinch weld/liner at full turn.

I know that this lift and this tire size has been posted many times before but I wanted to add a few things that I don't think have been properly covered here. I've seen a few people say they installed this lift kit but didn't need an alignment. I don't know how that's possible, I brought mine...

I've seen those but I don't really like the carbon fiber look and would have really just preferred the body colored mirror caps. I like the way they look especially if it would have cost me $50 all in.

The calculation accounts for the reduction in mileage due to the different tire circumference. I wasn't a math major in college so anyone can feel free to correct me. Just as an example you could instead divide the indicated mileage (242) by .934 and it would give you 259 which would be actual...

Unfortunately I did the calculations and my actual MPG is just over 21 so the tires don't make too much of a difference when it comes to indicated mileage being off as a result of larger tires. "quite a bit" is a stretch. I'll do the math for you: Current tire does .934 revs per mile of...

I'll say that with my 245/70R17 tires which are 35lbs each the Maverick does seem pretty sluggish off the line compared to stock form. Part of that is due to changing the effective final drive ratio as well as the added rotational weight of the tire. Is it terrible? No but it's definitely...

I don't care about the handles since they get a lot of wear anyway and I like the black handles, I only did this because the mirror caps were free with Fordpass rewards points and my local auto body shop said it would be a very minimal cost if they were already primed which PTM parts usually...

Gotta give a shoutout to Nathan at Fairway Ford Parts, I sent him an email to ask about the PTM parts and he got back to me early this morning and said he's working on figuring it out. That's what I call service!

Nice setup! I'm also in the DMV and just lifted my Mav with the RC 2" strut lift and put larger AT tires on although nothing like what you put on in terms of tire size. Where do you do your overlanding around the DMV? I'm pretty new to the area so it'd be interesting to hear where the good spots...

Yeah, I've purchased parts from other manufacturers with similar nomenclature (Paint to match) and they have all been primed gray. This is a curveball for sure. Here are the boxes they came in showing the PTM designation at the end of the part numbers. Again, not sure why the part numbers on...

I guess my issue is that "relatively shiny" would be a serious understatement. This photo doesn't even do it justice in terms of how glossy it is. It seems like highly polished plastic. My issue is why is the part number on the part different itself different from what I orderd and is this...

I finally used my FordPass rewards points and ordered some PTM mirror caps from Fairway Ford. The parts I ordered are NZ6Z-17D742-AAPTM and NZ6Z-17D743-AAPTM. I was under the impression that these would come primed and ready to paint. What I received are part numbers NZ6B-17D742-AW and...

Update: After dealing with an extremely rude customer service rep at Tire Rack I asked to have the issue escalated to a supervisor like a true Karen. I hate to be that person but I didn't appreciate the customer service rep's tone and how dismissive he was of my issue. Supervisor told me that...

Just to give a heads up on this tire and wheel package, I am having a problem with the Kumho tires. After putting a few miles on them there is a thumping noise which corresponds to a pulse/thump in the steering wheel. It's very pronounced at lower speeds and when I drive faster, maybe 50mph it...

@Discount Tire Just curious, since Tire Rack is now owned by Discount Tire, can we have Tire Rack purchased tires and wheels serviced at Discount Tire locations, ie for road hazard issues etc?

I have been a fan of the wheel ever since I saw it on the driving sports tv channel but couldn't see spending $260 a wheel so at $100 off each I couldn't pass it up. For anyone interested the wheel specs are: LP Adventure LP1 Wheels 17x7.5 +35 offset and they weigh in at around 25lbs each...
