It's a Tonka

Just looking to share my mods I've done over the past couple months within my pay grade. The Tonka came to me very late in the long game most of us are playing with Ford, (500+) but was my first mod. They were fun a.f. as I've never done anything to my vehicles in the past. My last mod was my favorite because it took some outside the box thinking, drilling, and grinding, being the cargo hooks that attach and slide along the rail system and also lock in place. Now for the list with pics. Thanks for playing.

Exterior: Tonka decals, Tonka license plate frame, Tonka puddle lights, Maverick lettering, mud flaps, fender guards (choose this route to blend with muds flaps) and used it to do the tailgate and hood, bug deflector, door guards (they cover the entire edge of the doors all around), and my fav - the cargo hooks.

Interior: gear shift cover and storage divider, radio cover, dash storage bin with phone mount, USB ambient lights (1 in back lighting up fits garbage can and 1 to light up wireless charging tray area), custom cup lights (Tonka of course), and mirror dash cam. Not a mod but threw in a dash of Dewalt and I listen to music via USB on MY ipod video. (Bonus sync gets it).

Thank you all for giving me the courage to do this kind of sh-t, and the patience to get to 500+. MTC is my daily medicine.

Damn, that is a nice rig!

Lol its the right color and logo.

It's awesome! Please consider some big tires to complete the look.

Love my Tonka rig. Just added side molding and will be putting this decal just above it. Waiting on good weather. Love that black mods pop on this color

@Tuch what a fun full size Tonka you've created!
You didn't call it out, but I noticed and love the mini Tonka riding along in the dash tray!
Happy Tonka Mavericking.

You’re in Pennsylvania! You’ve gotta bring Tonka to the Carlisle Ford Nationals on June 2-4.

We’re having a Maverick Truck Club gathering there, in case you haven’t heard — Club tent in the show field, cookout, prizes, and everything.

It’s going to be the first major presence of Maverick trucks at this huge (3,000 Fords!) event.

Register by Tuesday to get the discount. We’d love to have you — or anyone on this forum — join us.

Read all about it on this thread:

Never said I was done modding, are we really ever done (lol). $$$. Care to do my homework and suggest a big tire that fits currant rims. Just a newbie here.

Custom made. Modified a Toyota cargo hook to fit.

This fits squarely in the "wouldn't do it, but absolutely love it" category for me. Awesome work! I especially love the Tonka puddle lights.

that look hot, im going same colour scheme, CY with BAP, but on the XLT so the black handles will be a nice touch. whats that outlining on the doors. that l;ooks like a great little touch

Which bug deflector is that? I want one but not sure I want the tape-on kind.
