East Moreland. I had spotted your Maverick around the neighborhood before as there aren't many yet. Was driving home with my wife yesterday and pointed out your Maverick and commented on having seen your "custom" work online. Truly a one of a kind.

Small world.
I live in Eastmoreland as well.

New Years Day I was hauling a Christmas tree to be recycled with the tailgate down and I backed myself into a tree(FYI backup camera is in the tailgate). My truck with 500 miles on it needed a repair. I have been waiting for a new top cap for the tailgate from Ford for 3 months now. Rather than renting a new truck I decided to use the flex bed and build a temporary replacement. I recently took the Maverick on a 1500 mile road trip with my rigged up tailgate through Oregon and the Redwoods. I piled 4 people into the truck. The cab comfortably fit my wife, myself, and my 2 kids. We carried 4 suitcases in the bed along with a large cooler and a few crates of food. It was plenty powerful on the highway, mountains, and did great off-road and even on some small river crossings. I put new gator back flaps on before the trip which has reduced the amount of mud splashed onto the truck considerably.

Mileage has been very disappointing with BFG K02’s. I was averaging 23-25 hwy and regularly get 17mpg city on a very stop and go urban commute. I’m torn on selling it and getting the hybrid, but I worry that I will miss the power, softer ride, and look of the FX4. Either decision will leave me with some regrets. This has been my favorite vehicle ever. Upgraded tires are 17/245

For extra security, you could wood burn this into the wood.

Used the mirrors and rotated our head. Lesson from a big rig driver: If you can't see where you're going, don't go there.
