What was the part number or link for the lights on this. I only keep finding red. I wanted to replace red and the white fir better lighting.Again since this thread is supposed to help those newbies who want to do some DIY but are afraid to tackle this stuff, heres the tutorial on the LED lighting. The point of the LEDs are 2 fold. 1 they last the life of the vehicle. Swap em in now while it's new and not filthy where the sockets are, and 2 these things are effing bright. It's the usual cost stuff from Lasfit, and exotic tech. The multi flash 3rd brakelight LEDs I got from exotic tech on evilbay for $16. The rest was from from Lasfit. They have a complete maverick LED kit for a little over $200.
First up the lighting on the back of the cab. If you dont have torx screwdrivers, no biggie, the screws have slots for a standard blade type screwdriver. Remove all 4 screws, pull the light off the back of the cab. The light sockets are a 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull out arrangement. Pull the bulbs straight out of the sockets, push in the LED replacements. Then reinstall the sockets to the light fixture opposite of removal, ditto for the screws. The fixture has 2 tabs that fit into holes in the cab sheetmetal. Should take no longer than 15-20 minutes. Prices for the red, and white LEDs to do this are about $18 per pair X 2 pairs. One clear, one red. All this lighting is 12V. It's not going to hurt you at all.

Do you have the part numbers or links for the white and red lights for the third light. I only keep seeing the red.

Where did you get the reflective black letters?Heres todays how to for the novice. Maverick decal letters. Decals on a car arent just peel and stick. After washing and drying the area where the letters go, you put a "few" drops of soapy water in a spray bottle. You spray where the letters go, then peel and set them in place. This allows you to slide them around to get them where you want them. When they are where you want them, then you press down on them gently with a paper towel to wick out the water. I went with reflective black.
Evilbay. About $25Where did you get the reflective black letters?
Is there anyway you can do a front on picture to see the amount of poke you are getting with this wheel offset? Looks great.If your a homeowner that does a lot of home DIY, even if you have one of these
I will when I get a chance.Is there anyway you can do a front on picture to see the amount of poke you are getting with this wheel offset? Looks great.
How would you torque that, other than just by feel?Gonna pick one of these up for my Maverick to replace the oil drain plug. I have one thats been on my 1994 Silverado since the truck was new. Swapped out the OEM plug for one on its first oil change. 29 years later no problems. It's great. Spring loaded detent, and stainless steel ball valve. No more 15mm wrench needed. Slide the pan under, and open the drain valve. When done turn the valve to close it. The lever drops into a spring loaded detent that's fairly hard to open. Vibration is not gonna pop it loose. The newer ones do have a plastic safety clip though for extra insurance. You can also get these with a hose nipple on it if you want to route an actual hose off of it. Fumoto Engineering. This same part number fits my wifes impala. I may have to get 2 of em. Fumoto recommends their bolt torque on these. They stated that stock drain plugs are torqued in at a higher value and that would damage these. The maverick fumoto valves are to be torqued at 15 foot pounds.
