Boss gave me extra carbon fiber. First time doing a custom mold

gotta wet sand again and probably again but not bad turnout I might say. Hardest part was cutting and re-using the factory mounting clips

What type of maintenance do you do after it gets wet? Fresh water if it matters. Do I need to take the diffs apart and re-grease or am I overthinking just keep letting it rip tator chip?

Driveshaft just falls out?

I installed a lift kit on my trx4, but even with the longest driveshaft extensions, it still just slides and falls out. lucky I found it when I was test driving it. How to prevent that? should I just ghetto rig it and tape it so it doesn’t slide? lol

Built a K10 body to go onto what was my old pathfinder (TRX4) Now the tires rub over the slightest pebble

Gonna see what lift options there are

Getting out in September - Plan for GI bill or wait to see if i can use VR & E?

I separate in September, I have my bachelors I got using T/A while active duty, and Im applying for jobs but its looking grim so might go back to school instead. Spoke to a school local to me (Seattle) who said they have a hybrid program I can do that would get me full BAH for my masters, but I dont know if I should plan to use that immediately after with my GI bill or wait to see if im eligible for VR & E?

Does VR & E expire? Can I use GI bill first then switch? I just don't want to waste any benefits

For my first 1/10, which of these would you get?

I really want an old school truck with a bed, but they’re all sold out. And used ones are the same as new or more. So between these 2 which would you do and why

Anyone into RC construction?

Unsure if allowed but I’m looking to expand to RC construction to have fun at the beach but unsure where to start!

Shoutout to reddit user FuckMississippi for pointing this out

Because I would’ve never thought it could slide out and have more storage. I don’t recall seeing anything about it in the owners manual either

Dealer has an unsold 2024 model. How much negotiating is reasonable?

My local dealer has an unsold 2024 ford maverick tremor. MSRP is 42k, however 2026 Maverick tremors are listed at 41k, and I’ve seen unsold 2025’s as low as 37. The dealer told me they’d go 36k for the 2024 but that still seems high when 25’s (redesigned front and and updated engine) are only $1k more. Plus 2027’s will be on lots soon. Am I crazy for wanting to offer 32-33? Is that unreasonable for an almost 3 year old car that’s been sitting in the desert sun the whole time? I haven’t counter-offered yet and the truck is under a recall so I have some time to figure out a price I’m willing to pay.
If it matters, I’m a repeat customer and have bought from this dealer before

“Can your Maverick make it up the mountain? You can just ride with us”

It’s no tremor but it does fine on mild trails. Biggest issue is the street tires lol even when deflated down to 25psi

Might trade my 25 XLT 4K for a 24 XLT tremor

Mine has 10000 miles, the 24 tremor has 4000. I want better off road capability and physical knobs/buttons. I will probably never tow anything so I don’t care about losing that in return of getting a locking diff, physical interior buttons and a better front bumper. But what will my MPG hit be? I’m averaging 27 right now. What should I be expecting from a tremor MPG wise? The tremor is cheaper than what I owe on this, after taxes and fees it’s about even
