[Ep.2] Wheel Spacer and Fender Flare Install on Ford Maverick | Maverick Overland Build Ep. 2 

Hey, thanks for watching all the way from Puerto Rico! Glad you're enjoying the truck, too. It's a fun ride!

@@maverickoverlandadventures Thanks bro!! Yes is a fun ride!! and i have a f150 supercrew 4x4 and i love the maverick more.

No rub?

Thanks very much! I appreciate that, and you are welcome

Thats awesome! That was my main goal of starting this second channel dedicated to the Maverick - to put out as much useful information as I can!

I'll have to check those out, thank you for the tip!

Where did you get your 1.25 spacers? I am going with 1.25 front 1.5 on back.

Thank you! I really like them so far

​@maverickoverlandadventures what's the link for these flares?

Thank you, I appreciate you. There is a LOT more to come on this channel. You'll be thrilled!

I absolutely love my Maverick and am glad to hear you like the Maverick too. The Sport Trac was a sick little truck and I also wish they continued it. I don't think they got nearly as much love as they deserved

Do you think a 1" will work with original studs?

We don't.

I wish! But we do not sadly

Absolutely. 1.5 in the front would be ideal. Back when i did this there were so few options available for the Mavs so thats why I decided to experiment with the 2", but i originally wanted 1.5

@@maverickoverlandadventures Awesome! Thats what I plan on doing, once I find a set of wheels I like that are also in the same bolt pattern >.> lol.

Did you have to change the studs for the 3/4" spacers? I just ordered 1" for my Maverick.

No I didn't have any problem because there's a divot in the back of the rims that allows for any extra stud@@dancooke6515

I don't for sure, but I imagine the 24 is the exact same hub centerbore/bolt pattern as my 22 xlt. Look up your bolt pattern and hub centerbore numbers then find a spacer that matches. I'm like 99% sure this one will though. They should be the same

I really like the carbonizedGrey, its a great color! I want to do something DIY and cheap. In the past I've seen rubber matts cut into mudflaps and they look just as good as if you bought them, so I plan to try something along those lines and see how it looks. It's a pretty easy project

I am unsure. I think they would work the same, but I can't confirm as the wheels are different than what I have. It's likely that they would work though.

That's what I wanted but they were all out of stock. This was more of an experiment since the 2" were in stock, but I actually really like the poke on it now!

How about 1 1/2 front, 2 in. backs?

Still going strong, I'm at around 20k miles on them now and they haven't given me an issue yet!

Thanks No, my Maverick is not lifted and the spacers did not affect performance at all. No issues with them and I've already put several thousand miles on, including a 1200 mile trip to NC from FL without incident.

Yes, my apologies. I knew I forgot something and I appreciate you reminding me! www.ebay.com/itm/193514429355?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1BaiVkBvzR629zOX-MZKMIg80&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=193514429355&targetid=1644837435723&device=m&mktype=&googleloc=9011659&poi=&campaignid=16743749222&mkgroupid=138744546207&rlsatarget=pla-1644837435723&abcId=9300842&merchantid=101695521&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsIejBhDOARIsANYqkD2RUtHuxaeHMQgFHXEXoE-cMuwK0iIdGkm4AI_zSAUqwPMT9aWZmfoaAgM_EALw_wcB

Both are ford branded accessories right from their accessories website!

@@maverickoverlandadventures thanks

@@maverickoverlandadventureswill the Ford Branded fender flares work with the Ford Branded accessories mud flaps

Not with the tires that I have, and in the size that I have them. I know that folks with larger tires whoa re running spacers are getting rubbing. Just depends on the tire size.

@@maverickoverlandadventures youre running the stock rims? What tires do you have?

@thebarathleticclub3512 stock XLT FX4 wheels, Pirelli Scorpion AT PLUS (the upgraded offroad version of the stock ATR's) in the stock size 225/65/17

@maverickoverlandadventures im loving your videos. I wanna get some wheel spacers like yours, i love how easy your femders were to put on, but i like the look of the EGR fender flares. So that's what I'm aiming for.

​@thebarathleticclub3512 did you install the egr ones? Im looking at those too, mainly because the fromt is two pieces allowing bumper to come off if needed.

You're not wrong, but I've been running spacers on all my vehicles for years without issue. If it comes too it and I can't get them off when the time comes, at least these ones were cheap. All a big experiment so if that happens, I'll make a video about it and it'll help other people make better descisions for their own trucks

I put anti-sieze between both...!

I ordered them with the truck from Ford's accessories department. To be honest though, now that more options have become available the ones Ford offers are way overpriced. Check out the ones made by EGR USA. $359! It's a great deal and they look even better than mine in my opinion!

You mean like the tire rubbing somewhere?

@@maverickoverlandadventures yeah like on the pinch weld in front when i full turn.. i have 225/65/17 tire and my maverick is stock.

Ur maverick is stock?

Ford Maverick XL

@Brandon thegg Interesting.. yeah mine is completely stock other than the spacers and tires. I have more aggressive tires so theoretically they should definitely rub if your stock ones are. I don't have a lift or anything. Pretty strange that yours are rubbing. I do have the Fx4 package though, so my wheels are different than the XL wheels. That'd be my guess for the issue. The XL wheels must have less of an offset

Using an impact on lugs is extremely dangerous man. Most impacts are capable of applying far more foot lbs of torque than the recommended amount, which can in severe cases cause the studs to stretch and fatigue the metal, leading to eventual failure especially if the method is used a lot on those same studs/lug bolts. They aren't meant to take that much force. In the Maverick's case, the recommended torque for the lugs is 148 ft lbs. Nearly all impacts that are readily available at big box stores are capable if MUCH more than that even on the lowest setting. I'm not denying that you know your stuff if you have the experience that you say you do, but it's likely that the impacts that you've been using are much lower torque tools. There are certainly options out there that produce an acceptable amount of torque, but overall MOST impact drivers, especially air powered ones are much too powerful and dangerous to use. Additionally, even if the impact that you are using is very low powered and is applying an acceptable amount of torque to the lugs, all vehicle's torque specs are different and an impact offered no way to get them exactly to spec. You've been lucky so far that a customer's studs haven't been overtorqued to the point of failure yet. Also. You have to remember that I'm making content that other people are going to learn from and do themselves. If I say using an impact is fine and show myself doing it, some 17 year old kid is gonna bang out 1200 ft lbs on his studs and his whel is going to separate while he's drqg racing his buddies and he's gonna die. You can't honestly argue that me saying the correct way to do it is to use a torque wrench and apply the EXACT amount of pressure that the manufacturer recommends is incorrect lol

*sips coffee*

I thought my camera angles were pretty good to show what I was working on while I was working 🤷 What parts are you talking about?

@Maverick Overland Adventures i wanted to see the whole truck.... seen it at end of video. Looks good

@Vinny Ohhhh, I see what yiu mean now. Well, sorry about that, but I'm glad you got to see it at the end of the video. Thanks!

You look bad

Had em on for nearly 20k now, no issues yet 🤷‍♂️ They are hubcentric for the Maverick, the mach E, and the edge though

@maverickoverlandadventures i understand,but one day going around a fast bend one breakes you go head on ito opposite traffic,um not worth it,good bora spacers will cost 500 dollars but they are made much better than cheap china stuff.i hope everything is fine in the fure for you.
