volksnuts’ Lariat Maverick build

[volksnuts]

I guess to document the changes made

picked it up a little over a week ago (November order)

Hot Pepper Red Lariat Lux FX4
Rolling on Vision Monaco 20x8.5 with 245/45/20 Falkens
Lowered via Scale coilovers (low version)
Lots of little things added (tailgate strut, hood struts, Buschur intake, window tint)
A couple of modifications of note:
Retro fit a/c controls with the temp screens from a 21 Bronco Sport
Editing this part real quick
The Bronco Sport controls caused a fault in my drive mode selection so I ended up switching to an Escape control panel that works flawlessly
Some people have been able to use the Bronco one with no issue
I guess your mileage may vary

Red tinted taillights to get rid of that weird clear/chrome section all Mavericks have
Rocking a Raceface tailgate pad since I bought this specifically to carry bikes

There will be many mods to come as I have time and trying to wait on products to be released
I’m not good at fabricating things so I try to not if I can help it
Let’s see if anyone notices what was done in this last pic (and it’s not the removal of the headrests)

enabled fog lights in the cluster…. Still a work in progress though as I need to add some wires to the harness

Black Apearance Package headlights and fog lights now installed

You took the passenger door off!

But seriously looking nice and sleddy.

very, very, Nice

My guess, Middle seatbelt delete?

 

[RonFLA]

You slammed a FX4? Love the color. Need to color match the bumpers now!

Winner!

The thing that sucks about it is you have to cut the belt to get it off

next step is to remove the middle belt cage thing
Hoping to make as much room as possible behind the seat
For reasons

It’s in the works
None of my regular people want to mess with painting the lower plastics because they know how much I drive (30k+ miles a year) and they are sure it’s not going to hold up
So unsure what I’m going to do

Raptor liner? They can be custom colored and a bit more satin than rough if mixed right?

but how well would it stick to the plastic pieces that are kind of designed not to have stuff stick to it?
I'd rather it be smooth and match the paint exactly
If I can't do that then I will wait for Ford to offer up primed bumpers (in ST form?)

Find someone who rattle can paints racing motor cycles after each race and get a price if he paints your plastic every three or four months!

Read throught U-pol website they do have a primer that allows it to work with plastic. I doubt you can get a exact match but maybe find a look you like. Its a thought. Or just wait till Ford makes a ST and see, but these days it could have even more black plastic lol!

Looks amazing! My truck arrived Friday. Already got tons of stuff ordered. How is the ride? Are the 16kg springs too stiff?

They are stiff for sure
Depending on what you are used to they could be too stiff
Rides better than my old Civic did, slightly better than my Skyline
But not as good as my lowered Odyssey did
But it’s fine given the aesthetics
I can’t stop looking at it

My 66F100 has a crown vic swap front suspension and no limit engineering fatbar rear suspension. The coilovers are ridetech 550lbs front and 220lbs rear. 16 kg springs would be 896lbs. That was what surprised me.
