Nutty 5.0's Terrain Maverick Lariat FX4 4K mild daily driver build

[Nutty 5.0]

Hello, nice looking Maverick. I have a 2023 XLT. Could you please provide me with some more info about the Home link Mirror? Is it easy to wire up? Do you have to have a certain package installed in your truck? Also what year is the Ranger Tailgate handle fit and does it have a separate key? Thanks for the help

My wife got me my a new home link mirror but I did get a nice used one one eBay (now for sale here). I followed the info I found on here. I tapped into the dome light power. Not a bad job. Maybe a hour.

Paint to match handle: the lock assembly is bolted on as seen in pics. Just remove from old and install on the new. So the same key works as you’re just moving the lock over. But if you have a XLT your door handles aren’t painted to match. But you still may want the tailgate to match. Or even do the doors too. Not sure what’s involved in that but imagine easily done too.

5.0L in a Maverick. Impressive.

Having been heavy into Fox bodies, and was in a few magazine features, it’s been my forum handle for a long time.

Amazon bed extender and tailgate damper were done a few days later after picking it up.

If you'd like to re-add a tie-down bracket on that side that clears the assist strut, I've made a few and have them for sale here.

Take off the black tailgate handle and put on a painted-to-match one. Then cover the “painted-to-match” tailgate letters with black ones.

I like the contrast. To each their own!

At first I thought someone finally stuffed a 5.0L Coyote engine in one of these. Beautiful color btw

Hello,
How much for the Homelink Mirror and is it easy to install/ wire up? What all does it do except? What year Ranger is the Tailgate Handle from?
Thanks and nice Maverick

It’s pretty easy. You want to look in here for details and pics. That’s what I followed.

How much are you asking? Thanks

$45 shipped to US.

Tailgate handle would be for a 2019-2023 Ranger lariat. I shipped for 2020 Lariat Ranger as that’s what wife has.

Wow, that is a comprehensive list. What I did not see are two of my personal favorites:

1. Black surround bezel for the audio knobs. [Search on Amazon]The black surround mates the controls to the black console below.

2. Side emblem marker and turn signal lights. I judge the replacement kit Mabett offers to be gimmicky. I purchased the GadCAD 3D printed lenses on etsy and made up my own wiring etc. No need to remove the emblem. I used a 3/4"paddle bit to drill the hole for the 2 way LED light.

Are you tempted?

 

[Nutty 5.0]

I do like both of them but not a fan for my own. If that makes sense.

After the fog lights are installed, I’m happy with how it is. Well I hate Pirelli Scorpions but I’ll let them wear down for a year or so before swapping them out.

Matte black tailgate letters and home link mirror were soon after.

How did you end up powering the rearview mirror and what model is that

I followed this post :
https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...digital-compass-and-available-homelink.35324/

following this:
Connected the mirror negative to the negatvie (black wire), its the stand alone wire on the dome harness.
The two 12v on the mirror harness, i tapped both into the switched power wire (purple/white) on the dome harness.

The mirror I used was a Kia Auto Dimming Mirror with Homelink & Compass A9062-ADUP0
