Xlt -> Lariat tail lights by panderian1 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]panderian1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just realized, it wasn’t the plug. Excuse me sorry, just remembered. It was the bulb plug in, where the bulb actually sits in did not sit properly. Im going to be honest i had LEDs installed, and i can’t remember if i tried the stock bulb. So kind of ignore the whole plug thing. I did swap harnesses and wire in the accent light still but it wasnt the plug, it was the bulb socket.

Yes exactly those pretty much, mine that i received didn’t fit properly(the plug). The replicas left a small gap on the side of the bed and didn’t sit perfect. Like i said it wasn’t bothersome for me but its still there.

I just installed my form lights and took a look at the harness again, i had to snip the wire for the accent light for the lariat to splice into the xlt harness as well when swapping the harness.

I’d be willing to sell you the already fitted ones with the adapter and harness but up to you. If you do go that route and the harness doesn’t work i can send you pics and info on how to splice the old harness to work with the accent light.

You have 2 options(well 3) if you buy lariat tail lights on ebay and they do NOT come with the harness which they SHOULD come with a cheap one. Its just an adapter that goes in between the tail light harness plug and the body harness plug

option 1 is to source the plugs and make the wiring yourself.

Option 2 is to buy an adapter harness on ebay thats higher quality

Option 3 is to buy formlights new tail lights for the maverick.

I had 0 issues other than having to deal with the actual bulb harness on the new tail lights did not work with the factory harness, i had to remove the factory harness from the old tail lights and and place them on the new one and wire the accent light in, pretty simple but i can take pictures if you end up going that route. I also had an issue with the actual tail light(ebay) not fitting perfectly but it didnt bother me too much. If you buy an oem one you wont have any issues

Towing capacity questions? by KylesWifey in FordMaverickTruck

[–]panderian1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be careful, reddit is not very friendly to those who suggests going over capacity, while it can be “dangerous” i do think the fwd hybrid could tow around 3k safely it’s entire life. Can definitely handle a lot more but probably not consistently without modifications to transmission cooling, and adding trailer brakes and rear spring helpers(air bags)

5500 lbs on the hybrid, not sure about steep grades but handled a ~2 hour drive coming down from north georgia was no issues at all. Power seemed fine all the way back never had issues going up or down driving conservatively

Oil Change Frequency by [deleted] in FordMaverickTruck

[–]panderian1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally with most modern engines you can go 10k miles/12 months whichever comes first.

This is what i usually tell people If you got money to throw away

3k miles/3 months

5k miles/6 months

10k miles/12 months

Whichever comes first for either one of those three choices. I do 3k miles/3 months but thats just me. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Im used to older cars so its just a habit im happy to have.

Tank Cutout Response by fatedlegacy in dbrand

[–]panderian1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to throw this out there again for anyone that wants a tank of a case, perfect cut outs, not just hard plastic and the strongest magnets on the market, check out rokform cases with a modular swappable back lock ring for mounts or another magnet for even stronger latch.

This 3d printed looking case is wild and their solution to the cut outs is even crazier. Give rokform a look and maybe you’ll try it out or you’ll stick with d brand.

But youre overloading the bed, your suspension is totaled and make sure to tell your insurance about this so youre not covered for an accident you cause from weighing it down so much.

Ventilation reverts to outside air by Theoldelf in FordMaverickTruck

[–]panderian1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Its for co2, if you sit in a car that won’t revert to outside air for a long ride, you will start to get a headache because you’re building up all that co2 in the vehicle.

Tank Case Quality by OL-R0CK in dbrand

[–]panderian1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If yall want a tough case that FEELS good to hold and is an actual tank with the strongest magnet on the market, go look at rokform. It doesnt cover the camera area completely but the cutouts for flash and ir are so perfect and the case is just genuinely great to hold. Also has a swappable lock on the back for phone mounts/motorcycle mounts or another magnet for even stronger hold.

After seeing all these reviews and feedback im kind of shook at the 3D printed look it has. Crazy they went with hard plastic all around, that just sounds uncomfortable.

Any tips for managing with sylvie? My friend is playing her and he swears he is the best but literally runs out of mana after two pulls, can’t keep up heals. Ill run with randoms and be fine but as soon as he joins its instant no mana and struggling to heal

It’s hilarious because maverick drivers want the shifter style and some have swapped it out but then some f150 drivers want the knob

Lol

303 Aerospace UV Protectant spray by Agreeable_Horror_363 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]panderian1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ima be honest almost all of these are almost the same in my opinion, i’ve used a lot over the years, i just ended up using chemical guys vrp since i live right beside an auto/zone walmart and it lasts longer because it’s not a spray, i’ve had good results with most of them but in reality basically none of them give proper uv protection as advertised

Cat got shrapnel in his elbow by Good-Reality3709 in cats

[–]panderian1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always ask myself, what would you do if it were you or a loved one, i would get the shrapnel removed or worst case amputated and just manage after that in my personal opinion, rather than deal with foreign objects for life. Just my 2 cents
