Boating from the Maverick..

[imboden013]

they're looking good, boat and truck..
thunderstorms all day, driving in the previous night the dirt road was a mud road, took it easy.

eye of the needle rapid, no maverick in picture but I wouldn't be here without it ;-)

On the way home there was a squeak in the L front wheel region. Peered around but couldn't see anything, drove home without incident. Backing out of the garage next day there was an awful metal scraping noise in reverse, the squeak in forward still there. I didn't drive it for a while, had a dealer appt to look at it this week. I pulled it out once to go and wash the truck, it went Scrape, Scrape, BANG ! and the noises stopped. There, fixed it.
Ha. I guess something got stuck somewhere, in the course of a hundred miles or so of bad dirt road. Seems odd though, still going to have the dealer take a look.

Recently also did the first backpacking trip out of the truck, went well. Hunting in the fall, we'll see..

Sounds like you might have had a piece of gravel get stuck in between a brake rotor and brake pad. Had that happen one time on a Ford Taurus. Makes a heck of a noise. I got out and had wife pull forward while I tried to figure out what was going on. When I had her reverse out came a piece of gravel and no more noise.

This is AI by the way.

We used to call this sort of thing "photoshopped" because it took someone hours to do with numerous mouse clicks and artistic talent.

I just asked for it and got it from Google AI in 5 seconds and at no charge.

Scary. Just be mindful anything in media may not be reality.

Meant it for laughs. But it came out too good.

I wouldn’t have known that if you hadn’t told me so!

Beforrrrrre I do something idiotically similar..... is there an official fording depth?

Considering where the ECM is located in the left front wheel well, I wouldn't feel good about anything over hub deep.

I was hoping to see you just flip it into the water and take the Mav with you so you had a way back !!

Just realised I'm good now, that foam I tossed in the back added 30lb of floatation.

used to have a Geo Metro, put a 16' tandem canoe on that, and got that joke a lot ;-)
