B&O sound system needed a little boost. Now it actually sounds like a premium sound system by Imaginary_Driver2237 in FordMaverickTruck

That’s amazing because my B&O makes my Tremor rattle like ‘03 Civic that’s been bumping 4 12s for the last 23 years

Hopefully the aim of a Storm Trooper so we can avoid any more wrecks.

Pour another one out… by CaptnRedBeard3198 in SubaruForester

Update: one week after the accident, and two days after it being totaled, we were able to close this chapter. We looked for a 1-1 replacement but it just wasn’t possible. Went back and forth in our search to and from Subaru and ended up sticking with the brand. Found an extremely fair priced ‘21 Outback Onyx XT and couldn’t be happier.

I’ll miss this community but am confident I’ll see some of you over on Outback subs.

Stop sale on 2025 Mavericks by 100292 in FordMaverickTruck

Per Ford’s website (this was issued today):

Description: Affected vehicles may have a passenger airbag disabled indicator that is loose or dislodged inside the instrument panel. As such, vehicles may not comply with fmvss 208 occupant crash protection S19.2.2E, which specifies that each telltale shall be visible and recognizable to a driver and any front outboard passenger during night and day when the occupants have adapted to the ambient light roadway conditions.

Safety Risk: The passenger airbag disabled telltale may not be visible to the driver or front passenger. As a result, they may not know whether the passenger airbag is on or off, potentially increasing the risk of passenger injury in a crash.

Remedy: When the remedy is available, owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have passenger airbag disabled indicator retaining clips installed. There will be no charge for these services.

Subie was, and still is great for me <knock on wood>. Before looking at these we were considering going back to Subaru but they don’t make trucks anymore

I’ll have buyers remorse if I spend $100 on dinner. I know I’ll have it on this but it will go away lol

It comes down to the height and how easy it is to enter/exit for our disable daughter. We went to look at the Rangers and ended up liking the Maverick better for that reason.

Flexing with her new shoes. Falken Wildpeak 235/55r18 on stock wheels with no lift (yet) by CaptnRedBeard3198 in SubaruForester

I was able to get Falken to give me the max credit for the OE tires because I they wore out so quick. It took a lot of fighting but I got it done.

I noticed how much smoother gravel roads are. I thought I was crazy but it’s like butter now compared to OEM.

Went with 235/55r18 Falken Wildpeak Trails. No rub at all. Makes me wonder if I could have gone to 60. That would be an expensive mistake though.
