You have one sweet looking XL, Those wheels changed everything.
Thank you. I have the same wheels in black but I kind of like the way the grey wheel look. I agree wheels make the biggest bang looks wise. It was a long wait.

So I am continuing along with the mods. I added a set of EGR in channel vent visors. Now I don't smoke but with the heater being kind of weak, I figured these would help on humid days for the defroster. Still not sure I like them but we will see.

I also finished the Kia Cheapy mirror upgrade. I was able to use the wiring to get me within 8 inches of the fuse panel. Really easy to do. I added 10" of wire & fuses tapped to circuit 3. Calibrated the compass, programmed the door openers and voila. The auto darkening is really great. Best bang for the buck modification yet.

Lastly, I had some boards from another old project laying around. Cut the divider board 54.5" and the ledge board (front) to 45.5". Going to grab outdoor carpet today and probably over the weekend I will sand and carpet the boards. I want to round the edges of the boards off a little with a palm sander.

I picked up a Bed Rug Bed Mat from Real Truck but can't install until I get an unseasonable warm day or have time to bring the Mav into the garage.

I still haven't decided on a bed cover, but I have time to figure it out.

Honestly, my plan for bed cover was to go cheap $200 from Amazon. After thinking about beach/ shore trips I changed the tune to get something with a little more security. I'd also look at the BakFlip X4s. Hearing good things. I love the Truxedo Sentry CT so far.

So I grabbed the bed cubby’s, the front bed rings, rear top tie downs and associated bolts today from Ford. Installed the cubby’s. The lost the rear bed d-ring bolts so they’ll be dropping them to me Tuesday. The bolts for the cubby’s are a 10mm and the d-ring screw are a t30. Went in easy, took 5 minutes each side.

inalso installed the fron floor bed tie down. Those screws were a t35. I just used an impact and sent it. I could’ve threaded the holes but I think my way was faster with same result.

Picked up some cheap outdoor carpet at Home Depot. Broke out the ole Dewalt palm sander and sanded my board for the bed down. Wrapped the board with carpet and used 1" staples from my pneumatic stapler. I think it came out nice. Started late, so finished in the dark. I'll take more pics today.

There are holes on the wheel well hump to steady that board. I may just unwrap it, and put some type of bolt or pin to keep the board steady when driving empty. Maybe sent a lag bolt through the board and grind off the threads on the bottom.

So some slight updates to the Mav. Installed the bed rug. Also lowered the Maverick 2", installed 20x9' wheels. Pretty happy with how it's turned out. Not much more I'm looking to do at this point.

It's pretty filthy and needs a wash bad. I also need to detail it and ceramic coat it, but I'm super busy.
