volksnuts’ Lariat Maverick build

[volksnuts]

Great job! I have a Question about the temp control, i looked through the pages but didnt see anything. I own a Lariat and if i swapped out the control panel like your did would I need forsan To make it work?

tks

Only thing you have to worry about is if the module will jive with your system
Some people are able to use Bronco Sport pieces, some use Escape
My truck rejected the Bronco Sport ones (two of them! Would cause the drive modes not to work) but Escape works just fine

I have to look into this. I was looking at a lc7i from plugandplaykits that had all the wiring included and the lc7i but a few other people recommended going with a DSP. I’m not too familiar with hooking up a amp to the factory head unit so all this stuff is confusing lol. I have a alpine 4 channel amd a alpine mono amp plus a 10” sundown I took out of my old truck that I’m looking to put in my maverick.

I think they all pretty much do the same thing
I like that this one is made specifically for my configuration so there should be no guessing or splicing
Again I’ve not ever used this so I am def not an expert

FX4 wheels look good in bronze (for my wife’s Bronco Sport)

Damnit! I don't mind inspiring people, I just don't want them copying me, LOL!

That was planned a while ago, but go ahead and pretend I copied you lol

Going to be matchy since hers is also hot pepper (and lifted slightly)

Hahahahah! I'm definitely not the first with bronze wheels so I copied someone else! Really like that color, lays out nice on the BS wheels.

Washed the truck in sub 40s temps because I had a bunch of things to do today and it was the only time I had to get it clean before the Maverick meet up this afternoon
Also acquired the correct integration kit

Notice my sister scratched the hell out of my glove box door last weekend
Will be giving her crap about it tomorrow when I see her
I thought it was dirt, but it’s a nice scratch

will work on it when I have time, but I might have to try to find another one…..
Completely unacceptable

Pounded the rear floor with a big hammer to flatten it out as much as I could (I will take all the space I can get)
Then added this Russian sound damping material before starting the box

Probably didn’t need to put down this much BUT I was surprised how much it quieted it down back there…. Ok not that surprised, but other than the rear vent opening it sounds just like the back seat is sitting there
So that’s good, will work well with the audio system
I’ve still got 7 sheets of hushmat left over from the previous F150 project
Doubt I’ll do the floors, but the doors and whatever else I can get to will be done

Did you figure out your front and rear speakers yet? Also when are you going to start the sub box?

Really nice job, I wanted that color as well. I have a question, has it been repainted?

Orange peel effect?

Nope, it’s the factory paint (other than the side marker that was painted to match)
This picture was before the polish job but it still has more texture than I’d like, but as everyone has already said the paint is thin and the shop didn’t want to risk burning through

Local shop wants me to use the Hertz Mille Legend set (MLK 1650.3 I think) but I don’t really want to spend that much
I trust them but damn that’s a lot of money I’m not sure my damaged ears could tell the difference
Box will be started once all the fiberglass materials show up…. And I guess when I go to my friends shop to cut some wood

wow you ain’t kidding lol I just looked them up. That’s definitely a lot of money! I’m the same I don’t think I could tell the difference between them or a pair that are a quarter the amount of them. Looking forward to seeing you process on the sub box.
