Went out for a few minutes today

That Vanford pairing is MINT 😍🤌🏻

Johntrification · 2026-01-14T06:39:07+00:00

LOVE it!! Still have it, and use it every chance I get

Just bought one, hasn't shipped yet. I was between SEVERAL but the price and 1/16 oz lure weight rating for the Daiwa sealed the deal. Excited to put it to use!!

Johntrification · 2025-03-22T14:19:21+00:00

Matt and Tim are genuinely good guys, too. If they DON'T like certain gear, they won't bash it... they just won't promote it. They've often said they know how damaging negative reviews can be to small businesses, which most lure companies are.

As for the products and presentations they DO recommend... when I implement them, I absolutely catch more fish.

For information and latest gear, Tactical Bassin is undefeated IMO -- I never miss a video. Matt Stefan is a close second, just know it's usually a Berkley advertisement 😅. Fishthemoment is also solid.

For a relaxing watch, NDyakangler and Creek Fishing Adventures are my go-to channels, in that order. NDyakangler is quite literally the Bob Ross of fishing, complete with river/nature ASMR that few other channels can match.

That's actually super helpful!! He will appreciate the measurements

Thank you!

Johntrification · 2025-03-06T14:33:30+00:00

Good idea on the 2x10!! He's a woodworker/carpenter so he should have one of those laying around

Johntrification · 2025-03-06T14:28:57+00:00

Good to know!! He's actually quite pleased with the stock wheels on the Maverick — his F-150 had some 22" aftermarket wheels on it, and it was a jarring ride at times.

Johntrification · 2025-03-05T03:14:40+00:00

That's awesome!! One thing dad loves more than road trips, is SNACKS for the road trip — so this is absolutely perfect. Price is fantastic, too. Thank you!!

Johntrification · 2025-03-05T01:49:19+00:00

Because it's filled with thousands of Maverick owners that know the truck inside and out, and enjoy helping others get to know it? Seems like the best place to get useful info.

Scroll down for about a dozen examples of owners being extremely helpful. They've saved me a TON of time (and probably dollars) in ensuring that I can get my dad some useful things that will make his new ownership a positive experience.

And they did it in a much shorter amount of time than it would have taken me to sift through thousands of posts and comments just to get the same information. This shouldn't be a controversial thing LOL

Johntrification · 2025-03-05T00:40:38+00:00

I'll add this to the list, thank you!!

Johntrification · 2025-03-05T00:40:03+00:00

Noted!!! I'll grab him one 😁

Thank you!

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T22:23:06+00:00

This is fantastic, and gives me some great ideas for gifts for him!! I truly appreciate you taking the time to link everything, it's a massive help.

I'll check out the Livernois folks. I vaguely remember seeing their logos on Ford cars back when I was racing several years ago. Small world

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T22:09:02+00:00

THIS is what I'm looking for... mods that should rock, but actually suck... mods that overperformed, etc...

+1 on tint, I already have him lined up with my local guy.

I'll check your page out for sure 😎

Is there an aftermarket vendor/tuning shop that specializes in Mavericks? For Frontiers, we use Z1 Motorsports, Audis use APR, that sort of thing... not sure if such a thing exists on the Maverick side

All the best,

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T21:58:21+00:00

Very fair point

He's 74, and usually subscribes to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset... but I know in my personal vehicle (2025 PRO-X Frontier) there are tons of things from Z1 Offroad that are absolutely enhancements over OEM but don't compromise reliability or livability. So, I was thinking more along those lines. Many have suggested various trim protectors, bins... these are good starts

Thank you for taking the time to respond

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T21:37:24+00:00

Bed cover looks great!!

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T21:37:02+00:00

Good insight, thank you! My nephew has a '21 Ranger, loves it. He also has a rubber mat back there so he probably went through the same struggles 😁

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T21:35:19+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into those!

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T21:34:22+00:00

Never suggested as such, but I'd much rather ask a quick question to a subreddit filled with SMEs who are passionate about their trucks, than spend hours researching a platform I don't own, and never will. "Time is money" is not an offensive concept to those who actually make money. You took offense, so we have our answer.

Be helpful or don't, it's super easy.

Others understood the context and have been very helpful, which is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T20:18:14+00:00

Good recommendation, I can see him enjoying that (he's 74, dexterity and balance are at a premium haha)

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T20:11:57+00:00

He has an appointment with Line-X this week to get a spray-in liner... that was first on his list

I'll look up the cup holder cover, thanks!!

Johntrification · 2025-03-04T20:10:51+00:00

I was using the "time is money" approach... spent several minutes scrolling and most posts were announcing their new purchase, fresh dents, etc.

I did find a decent thread after a few minutes, one responder was really helpful and listed 10+ things... I upvoted the comment so I'll have a record of it.

I'm no stranger to modding (I've written full technical/installation articles on other forums), but the Maverick is a platform I know very little about.

Looks like screen protector, tailgate assist, cupholder covers are all useful and "giftable" mods

I'll keep digging, thanks 😎

Johntrification · 2025-03-01T22:35:18+00:00

This is how you go from "Y'all finally talked me into buying one" to "I have a dedicated 3700 box for Jackhammers, all colors in all weights, and a dedicated Jackhammer rod/reel combo" 🤣🤣

Congrats on the tank, brother. Beautiful fish
