  1. Edit: Steelies Can Actually Look Good!

    Yup, that’s it! The police/crown vic caps might look even better.
  2. Edit: Steelies Can Actually Look Good!

    Nice! Color key the rims to your truck or painted black with the chrome rings & center caps would look smart.
  3. Rear End Squat? Install These… Air Bag Kit

    It takes some finesse & elbow grease including dishwashing liquid & zip-ties to slide the bags into the springs, but if you’re mechanically inclined & persistent it’ll take a couple of hours. There are YouTube videos from SDTrucksprings & others that take you step by step.
  4. I bought a cheap tonneau cover from Amazon.

    I installed it right before going from Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska,Montana, Calgary, Montana, Colorado, back through Nebraska & on down to Florida. Over 5k miles & it performed admirably through the snow & windstorms along the way. It did ripple a bit from all the crosswinds & the quality is...
  5. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    I don’t know, I’m not in snow that often. Some of the other guys here live in the snow, maybe they can chime in. I was surprised how the snow caked up inside the rear wheels though.

    Those pics are of The Badlands in snow earlier this week. Only animals I saw were several mountain goats & about 40 mule eared deer.
  7. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    I drove up to Calgary & back the week before & it did very well up there too. Memorial & other roads were well maintained, but some of the side roads had packed down accumulation & 4-way stop intersections had 1’ humps of clumped up snow to go over.
  8. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    The moderators edited my original post. I don’t know why. My original post just says ā€œā€¦into The Badlandsā€ with pics. My intent is to share some pretty pics of a new Mav in a slightly different setting than we usually see, not claiming anything fantastic, but I was impressed with how it handled...
  9. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    here’s a pic in a Maverick gas station that shows a little bit more of the conditions, but wasn’t anywhere as bad as the unmaintained dirt roads Google had me on on my way here.
  10. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    That’s correct, there it was about 3ā€ to 4ā€ of snow on the road in the pictures. Once out of Badlands on the southwestern side of it the snow was much thicker & the roads not maintained. In fact Google Maps took me through some very dicey dirt roads with snow that was thicker than the Mav’s 8ā€...
  11. One year living on the road with my Maverick

    That sounds ideal. Venturing off exploring for a day or 2 then returning to home base in the Scamp at a campground. Nice!
  12. One year living on the road with my Maverick

    Very nice! Could you talk more about why the progression from cot-tent to Scamper?
  13. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    I’d think vinyl would hold up better & not collect as much dirt as the fabric. Anyone know why they went with fabric?
  14. Can it go through snow? YES… into The Badlands on steelies, factory Continentals + AWD

    Yup! Through 6-8ā€ fresh snow on top of hard packed snow too! It’s cool watching the AWD kick in on the display going up hills.

  16. …meanwhile in Montana

    šŸ˜‚ what traffic it’s Montana. The stock tires have done well from Iowa to Calgary & back down. AWD has only activated a few times.
