In area51 no less!

Just came back from having new shoes installed and figured I'd post a couple of snaps.

I'll add more details to this later but some of the things I've done so far are adding black Ford badges and a matte cover over the edge to hide the chrome. I removed the tailgate's chrome AWD badge and instead added black ones to the lower doors, which I feel adds a subtle accent. I've also added the embossed Maverick lettering on the tailgate.

There are a couple of accents I still need to black out but it's getting there!

Wheels are 17x8 RTX Dakar and are wrapped in 245/65-17 BFGoodrich Trail Terrains. They're brand new so the lettering is still blue-tinted. That'll wash away.

The tonneau cover is the OEM Rev roll up. The bed was sprayed by Line-X.

I'm getting ready for a camping trip so I've picked up a hitch cargo rack. It can hold up to 500lbs, which is more than the Maverick can even support on the tongue.

Good times await!

Well doesn't that look nice... if the shoe fits!

Beauty of America and Maverick - get it like you want it. It is to please YOU and not everyone else. Some like it one way and some another way. Neither one is wrong. Enjoy your Mav.

Except for the excruciating wait to get what you want.

are those tires sold with a lettering color that is similar to area51 or did you color them somehow?

I have the same tires in 245/70. They have 40k on them now and they're still going strong. Be sure to rotate and balance, they don't like to stay in the same position for eternity.

Good to know! They're warrantied for 100k KM and have a puncture/leak warranty from Costco, so they should last me a bit!

The letters are white. The blue tint is a factory film to prevent stains and scuffs during shipping. It washes away on its own after a while but you can use a scrub brush, water, and elbow grease to remove it.

The tint is fairly close to the paint color so it's not too much of an eyesore for now!

Your Mav looks great!! Where did you get the black Ford badges?

From Etsy. I chose a matte black background with gloss black text.

They're vinyl and super thin, but seem to be of good quality otherwise. Installation took me a few tries and I wrinkled the front one a bit.

Love the raised white letter tires.

White letter tires were a pretty huge deal back in the late 70s / early 80s, then seemed to mostly disappear although lately they seem to making a comeback.

Those wheels are seksi.
