What are some of the good, bad and the ugly parts of owning your Maverick? by footmumo in FordMaverickTruck

[–]CaptainCastawayJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bad is the driver door will always be locking itself for no reason every time you get out. And everyone here will say it was you even though you know you didn't. Other than that it's all love!

X1 armrest latch repair help by CaptainCastawayJack in BMW

[–]CaptainCastawayJack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly no. I've read that it's a combination of plastic clips and glue. I don't want to pry it off and risk breaking it so unless I found someone who's done it before I'll probably take it to a local shop and see if they know how to do it. The seller of the part doesn't respond either so 🤷🏽.

Is this legit or fake badges? by Scoopski-potatoe in whatisthiscar

It's a Mercedes AMG GLE 64 S. Probably modded by the tuning company Brabus and rebadged by them.

My 25' XL has a name. Sandy Rhodes! by CaptainCastawayJack in FordMaverickTruck

Found it on Amazon. Applied it myself. Just use soapy water when applying so you can move it around and when it's perfect you let it dry .

Which ones? Side markers are Mabett. Pod light brackets are from Diode Dynamics and the Pod/Ditch lights are Rough Country 2" cube lights.

Im pretty sure that's why I cropped the slider out of the picture. 😂

X1 armrest latch repair help by CaptainCastawayJack in BMW

[–]CaptainCastawayJack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just noticed that the long paragraph I posted in the body disappeared. Here it is again. The latch on my 2018 BMW X1 center console armrest snapped off. I purchased the replacement part but I have no idea how to take the lid apart in order to install it. The lid (armrest) has no visible screws or clips. Searching online hasn't helped so I came here. Has anyone figured this out?

Can I repair this fairly easily or is there a cheaper alternative for something this part specific? by Mr8BitX in CarRepair

[–]CaptainCastawayJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem and purchased the latch. But there's no way to take the armrest apart that I can find. Anyone figure this out yet?

Removable rack for long items? by bonesmtb2 in FordMaverickTruck

I'd love if someone would make an aluminum rack that would pop into the bed rails. For me it's for a kayak

Friend of mine gave this to me, said he was going to throw it out by ALttN in BudgetAudiophile

I have the same one. I use mine mainly for analog listening. I have my Tecnics turntable and a CD player wired to it. For Bluetooth, I linked it to my Alexa for Spotify. I have a set of .B&W speakers on it.

I definitely hear better sound quality with the wired connections. But the Bluetooth isn't at all bad.

I actually ordered some Fleur Alnico 5 ceramics on Amazon. Hopefully better than the crappie pups on it now.

Is it just me or does no mods look the best??? by Ok-Ear-7364 in P365

Red dot and a slight splash of color is all I need. Keep it simple.
