Wash and wax back in May.

 

 

Great to see the roof platform in action.
Looks like you got the corner brackets- are those from Mazda or did you source them another brand by chance? Doesn’t seem like Mazda is offering all things like Yakima is for their lock n load, but hopeful they will!

 

😞 After rear end collision in April. Still waiting on repairs to be finished.

That is a very long wait. Was it car specific or just busy bodyshops in your area?

Sorry to hear! I thought the supply chain issues were improving.

 

This past Sunday after Hyperdipping the emblems.

 

I love the look! I went with a full de badge and I’m really happy with my decision

I love this car. The CX-50 is a blast to drive and I went ahead and color matched the rims. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for a stylish crossover.

Thank you. From what I see in your pics, you left the flying M and guessing it is either Plastidipped or Hyperdipped black? I left the Skyactiv G emblem alone as we have plans in store for it. I like the color match on the wheels. A nice subtle touch.

Yakima corner brackets. I'm pretty sure the Mazda ones are the same just without the Yakima branding. I would buy whatever is cheaper and the Yakimas were on sale.
The platform from Mazda is different. It actually ships fully assembled, has different dimensions, missing yakima branding, and the mounting is more of a direct mount than crossbar clamps.

 

 

 

@mdaviddyer The Sparco's and aggressive tires look perfect on the CX-50!

Too bad those bars don't retract and come out when needed. I'd be curious what they would look like powder-coated black. Being in NY - the illegals will have that pried from your car and mounted on their scooter bikes before you know it!

 

I'd love to see those "Bull Bars" in a 3/4 view(?)

 

Here you go!

 

How did you wire the lightbar?

 

Thanks for that! Very interesting. What was this attached to?

 

Finally got the OEM hitch and 7pin cable sorted. First time out towing with it. Handling was rock solid and hills were a breeze with the Turbo. Trailer is about 1800 lbs dry, a little over 2000 as towed.

 

How do you like your Rove Lite? We were looking at one as a possible replacement for our tent trailer since our kids are older now and it's usually just the two of us. Either that or a Casita.

 

@Alio Much needed protection for the asphalt jungle of NYC!

 

Took my CX-50 TPP out on its first adventure for a camping trip over the weekend

 

How was ur first experience taking the cx50 off road? Love the pic!

 

Quick picture from this morning after getting snows mounted on the stock wheels and the stock all-seasons swapped onto our old aftermarket wheels from our CX-9. Specs on the wheels in case anyone's wondering are (no longer available) Braelin BR02's, 20x8.5" ET45 (same offset as stock but 0.5" wider). The wheels are also over 8 pounds lighter per corner than the stock wheels.

When we're due for a change in all-season rubber, I might upsize a little to a 255/45R20 to gain a little more rim protection (with only a little over 1% difference in speedometer reading), though my wife already curbed all four wheels pretty badly when they were on the CX-9...LOL.

Congratulations on getting your new CX-50 @Ike1350 and welcome to the forum! How have you liked it so far?
