I forgot to post the details on what VIAIR switch I ordered to do the modification:
Viair Sealed Pressure Switch - 85 PSI On/105 PSI Off, 1/8in. Port, 12 GA Wires, Model# 90212
I used ASA. It is UV stable and if you can print ABS, you can probably print ASA.
Mangoal includes a fuse wire in the package that works perfectly to power the unit for parking mode
Yes, it connects to the front camera. There are several videos of maverick owners routing the rear camera cable (with and without a sun roof). Having a sunroof makes it a bit tougher, but should only take 30-45min.
The gps is not needed, but you can just install it right under the mirror trim. There is a small void there that looks like it's for a gps antenna.
Without it, no position/speed meta data is recorded, but everything else functions as it should.
No. The GPS included with the Mangoal dash cam does not integrate with the Ford infotainment system or instrument cluster.
Its GPS is used to:
Record the vehicle's location, speed, heading, and time along with the video.
Display your route and location when reviewing footage in the Mangoal app...
This is excellent. I have the following unit installed and it's an excellent product:
Mangoal 4K Front & 2K Rear 2-Channel HDR Dash Cam (Model B, for the 2025–2026 Ford Maverick)
I would be glad to answer any questions from a DIY installation standpoint.
I know... especially when you see signs that say, "Please do not climb on it."
Those signs are a pretty good indication of the level of common sense some tourists bring with them.
Sorry.... My wife says I take things too literally! She was sick a few weeks ago and asked for a hotdog for lunch. I made one, and then she asked for a bun, ketchup, mustard, and some chips. She should have said that in the beginning!
The engineer in me prefers to gather information before forming a conclusion.
My current thoughts on this cross brace are:
- I do not believe it is intended to increase frame stiffness, as the Tremor model does not include it and appears to use the same frame part numbers.
- I believe it may...
I was curious why it's so long. It extends way beyond the connection points (just hanging out waiting to be hit).
I am currently in the planning phase. Every 2-3 years I like to take off for at least a month and explore. Last November it was India. Many years ago I did 3 weeks in SD, WY...
I am curious as to why it's only on some Mavericks? I have not seen a lot of Mavericks, but this pars appears to only be on Hybrids or possibly the 4k tow package only.
Both. I am planning a month long over landing trip next year and I think it will help deter cat theft.
I have the full undercarriage skid plates on my truck... I wanted to remove the low hanging bar if it's only job was skid protection (I have that covered).
I reused a pic...see the bar circled in green.
It appears to be there as an impact point... possibly to protect something more critical from scrapes, like the battery cooling lines?
Is only connects with 2 bolts near the middle of the bar and does not appear to hold anything together or...
I installed this kit (along with the 2024 Diode Dynamics fog lights) and it's awesome looking!
