No lift on my hybrid, one size up on trail terrain tires from stock. Mine went out at about 35k. Replaced under warranty. At first they were gonna do both then they decided last minute to just do the passenger side. I've been watching this issue for a while and there have been more reports of...

I put stock height but I have one size up tires. Not sure if that was the correct response or not

There is a default setting that shuts the truck off after 30 minutes of idling. There are two ways to turn it off, one is to use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the menu settings on the dash screen and turn it off. The second way is if she already sat for 30 minutes in it, it will...

I forgot about this thread. It eventually got fixed. I am hoping a 3rd party makes beefier CV axles sometime soon. I will swap them myself just to not have to deal with it anymore. When I was initially looking into this, it seemed like the most common mechanical failure point on the trucks

Just make sure to have everything torqued and you should be good. If you want to be extra good, use loctite. I was lazy and expected to have to redo it but haven't had to yet. I like to follow the saying, if you're gonna be dumb, be smart about it

I think it's holding up surprisingly well about 30k miles on it a lot of which were on national forest roads solar panels have been mounted the whole time. Nothing has come loose and I didn't use any sort of loctite. Some hardware is building up some surface rust but I think it's the bolts I...

Also remember when I built mine, there was nothing on the market for sliders to fit in the elevate rails. You have to get a flat piece of steel, cut it to size, drill out two holes properly spaced then tap the threads

I don’t have an exact measurement in hand, the two cross bars I ordered are 60”. In the pictures, you can see there’s a couple inches of overhang on each side. The 3 connecting both ends are 43”, there was maybe an inch more of space but I wouldn’t push it

I double checked my order and can confirm 1020. It’s honestly really strong. I can hang on it in the middle with minimal flex weighing 160 lbs. there are calculators online that can guess the strength with different attachments at different lengths. I recommend looking into that to get an idea...

Close. I think it’s 1020 or 1x2 inches. I don’t think I needed the strength of the 2040

This isn’t really a thread about battery charging but most chargers are functionally the same. I say if it has a decent number of reviews and it’s rated 4 star or higher, you’re probably good

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, this wasn’t to fix some specific issue. More for the fun of it and seeing how much power is provided by the dcdc charger. I think future plan is to fill the whole under seat passenger side storage area with lifepo4 cells and have a 1.5-2kwh battery in there...

I did not keep specific table but I generally came out to 50-60 percent remaining. I think I have a higher overnight load than the typical user though because I have a dashcam running 24/7 and leave my key in the truck which I think keeps it “awake” more while it’s sitting because even while...

Cool so you don’t do it. But I will because they do work. Especially for a hybrid. The maverick doesn’t have high current draw even when starting the truck. There are also a few different drop in options for vehicles. Some even have built in heaters to allow for charging below freezing. All I...

There are also lifepo4 that are rated to change at 2C or even 3C. Here’s a cell that is 74ah but can charge up to 180 amps https://batteryhookup.com/products/new-case-with-6x-3-2v-74ah-lifepo4-prismatic-cells Generally you are correct and regular charging of .5c with max charging of 1C is...

It did not survive. The cells started leaking about a month in. My guess is that I either didn’t have them secured enough for the vibration or I needed more durable cells. It’s definitely possible and worked great while it did. I replaced them with an AGM battery for now until I feel like...

Nice, I also went with a diy system with extruded aluminum and some custom mounts for the tslot rails on the side.

side track, I didn't see anything on your profile. Is your rack welded tube and plate steel?

If you are concerned about the tailgate, just think about it this way. It can easily hold 3 people sitting on it. Thats almost 600 lbs. Granted that's not with the forces of going over bumps and what not. But It didn't flex or feel like it was even close to trying. I think the 500 lb weight...

update for anyone still here, I have heard nothing from the Ford rep here since the 15th, I messaged them on the 20th and again today. They said Ford Truck Dept and a dealership should be reaching out. I have heard from neither. I have no idea if they have even ordered a part for me. This...
