Exactly what the title states - putting a thread together where we can come and post little tidbits of anything we have done today, and as we build them to our own tastes.

We spent a lot of time doing side by side comparison.
Dealer gave me first crack at it.
I've bought a Maverick and super duty from them in the last 30 days.
They offered below MSRP on the limited.
Accessories and custom, have virtually no effect on trade in.

We went to the pool to have a few beers to discuss.
Can't go wrong.

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

I picked it up from San Tan Ford.
It finally got the Ford performance severe duty rack install. Used up all my points. And then some. Chassis of my 23 caught up with the 24.

I am, obviously, partial to Blue, but is there are reason other than color for the trade? Yours is pretty sweet!

I guess I should have kept reading, it's a Limited? I suspect the those are going to have some serious value later on if you keep it since they are, errr, a Limited production. 😎

Only reason is that one was our first order and Louise's first vehicle was a 66 blue bronco.

Obviously I like the heritage look.

I’m thinking my next toy will be a Maverick… since buying my Bronco in 2/23 we’ve purchased an Escape PHEV and a hybrid F150… it’s not good when I call the dealership and the receptionist (who I’ve never met) knows me by name…

Scott, you’re taller than me… does the Maverick fit you ok? I hate feeling cramped when driving…

Im 6'2" and it fits me fine. It's very comfortable and quiet. Nice ride. I'm very impressed with it.
I bought it for a company car used by my daughter who works for us.
I steel the key when I can. Because it's fun to drive. It's the hybrid too.

I took Nag into the dealership on Thursday to have the transmission, front and rear diffs and transfer case serviced. At a little over 33K miles it was due. Had them throw on the Ford Performance Differential cover. Looks great.

Met up with Jeremy, aka @OrangecrushBronco, and his wife and we had a fun day of off-roading. We hit several unknown trails and a few known trails. Overall, it was a complete blast!

He probably has way better photos than I do.

Mt. Rainer? Thinking not enough snow…. Maybe Mt. Adam’s?
Was thinking St Helen’s but its too symetrical

So I was hoping to have a two part update today. So yesterday I ran over to Foutz Motor Sport and picked up a rear differential skid. Last night after dinner I went to install the skid and upon removing the lower six bolts I raised it up to start installing and I discovered that a tab in between two lower bolts hit against a rib in the cover. The instructions specifically stated that it would fit both the stock differential cover and the FP one. Even utilizing the spacers that are supplied, it still hits in that spot. My best guess is that they May have changed their original design and this is old stock. Oh well I will reach out on Monday and get this sorted out.

Oh and here was the kicker, I put the bolts back in and torqued to spec, and promptly snapped the last bolt! So I went and picked up an extraction bit, drilled and backed it out. A little stress before Overland Expo PNW later this week! All good in the hood.

Time to break out the grinder on the skid plate tab and do a lil form fitting.
