volksnuts’ Lariat Maverick build

[Vtec87pr1]

Now that I’ve been driving on the Silvers Coilovers for a while I now have been able to grasp how much I hated the Scales
Fully convinced they were defective
If anyone wants them I’ll sell them for $500+ shipping
Maybe having the struts rebuilt to a different spec would help
I’ve got two sets of springs to go with them as well
If someone local wants to pick them up quickly I’d be excited to get them away from me
Obviously these are not the greatest as far as ride quality but if you just want the low low these work

yea scales are really stiff and bouncy

Spent a little quality time with my truck today
Raised up the front so it doesn’t scrape on EVERYTHING
Front is .75” lower than the rear
Top of fender opening is now 29” front the ground (I don’t I’ve ever measured it before)
Also took the passenger door panel off to fix the rattle that kept driving me crazy (the screws hold the speaker on were hitting the door panel causing a terrible rattle/squeak)
My rear camber arms were ready a week ago but hadn’t had time to pick them up but I had the shop send me a picture
Came out darker than we both thought based on the sample but no one will ever see them so that’s fine that they don’t exactly match the wheels

Walking back after lunch though it was worth a pic

What's your opinion with silvers coilovers with original springs vs Lowrance gills set up? I'm just wondering if it's worth another $500 ?? Also your truck looks good. I want mine a little lower.

I didn’t try the standard springs on the silvers so I can’t say but the Swift springs upgrade rides awesome so probably worth it

Got the arms finally, just didn’t have time to pick them up but my powder coater has decided to lower his Area 51 XLT
So after Christmas I’ll be bringing him my H&R’s so he can decide he needs Silvers coilovers
Took the time to fully clean the truck this morning
Since I’m not doing many mods I expect a bunch of “I cleaned the truck again” pics lol

garage is still a work in progress

Will install them when I get the truck back from the dealer because my seat heaters aren’t working and I got to get it in there before I hit 36k miles

Curious as to what antenna you have, looks different from the regular stubby?

I have no idea what it is
Bought on Amazon but that was 18 months ago and I’ve slept since then

Looks like the cravenspeed stubby, same as mine. Its very short.

At some point I need to add all the pics to the front page
Also should start an audio build thread for those that care
I got gas the other day

Light was hitting it just right
So sad the camera doesn’t see it how I see it

that's just lighting, no tint? Damn it blends into that HPR so well it looks great

The tail light has some red tint on the clear parts but it’s the same color as the normal red parts

Went to Lonestar Throwdown today
Only two Mavericks there and both have been seen here before
Was really hoping to see some around since I’m seeing stock ones all over the place

and a bonus pic of both hot peppers freshly washed and in the sun
