  1. Edit: Steelies Can Actually Look Good!

    Yup, thatā€™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 youā€™re mechanically inclined & persistent itā€™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 donā€™t know, Iā€™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 1ā€™ 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 donā€™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

    hereā€™s a pic in a Maverick gas station that shows a little bit more of the conditions, but wasnā€™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

    Thatā€™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 Mavā€™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

    Iā€™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! Itā€™s cool watching the AWD kick in on the display going up hills.

  16. …meanwhile in Montana

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