Prerunner build out testing / Toys For Tots run

Your truck is coming along nicely. Even with all your suspension upgrades the truck still looks low compared to a couple of the lifted jeeps in the pics, although you do obviously have plenty of usable suspension under it.

I'm highly impressed with the amount of articulation you've gained. The tires look like they completely fill the available fender space, did you have any issues with tie rub at all?

You have way more skill and ambition than I - or many others - do. most people would throw a spacer lift on the truck and call it done.

Looking great. I really hope for takes cues from you and does a Raptor version. Even if we only get 31s(and clearance for em), more suspension articulation, flares, and stickers id be happy. One thing I just thought of that could be a game changer on a Raptor spec Maverick would be a lower final gear. With the Lobo they were willing to pull a gear from the trans, so it wouldnt be that much of a stretch for them to get a gear in their that sits at a lower ratio than the Tremors after the 31" tire is calculated in.

That would give it more kick aswell without having to increase power as much. Though a simple off the shelf turbo and tune would be great.

Got a chance a while back to join east county off roaders on Facebook to do a very mild run and do some flexing and rub checks while giving for a good cause.Here is a few pics , mostly fire roads through south laguna area to boulevard area then finished in lark canyon , part of McCain valley .
I was solo and forgot the GoPro again so not too many good shots .
here is a link of about 20 pics

This is absolutely fantastic! Absolutely solidifies my decision of Flatout or fuck it, because that is quite the noticeable difference! I see you had to remove the liners and do some trimming, do you find that was worth it to get the bit extra out of the tires? What size are these, btw? Beautiful Maverick!

Thank you
They are 255/75/17
Or equivelant to a 32”x10.50
Am shooting for a 33” x11 as finish size here in a few .
A new front subframe getting tested soon .
It allows for 4” drop bit almost 1” more center clearance and adjusts the axle angles and wheelbase for better tire clearance .also made from chromoly as the factory one rips and ovals at the rear a arm bolt with big hits .( cheap mexican shet metal) Front bumper cover will need trimming . But will be doing my own fiberglass fenders and bumper cover to fix all that with 4” flare and larger openings.
I am still designing new rear setup for the trailing arm mounts and lengths to get better rear travel as the short trailing arm is major restriction in off road comfort.
Time and money , time and money!

That’s Awsome. I love I’m not the only one pushing. The maverick off road. Although mine is nowhere near yours. What I lack I. That I make up with the above average testicular fortitude I possess.
Or as some refer the f it I’m going for it.
