@5:50 - "no crimp connector, I like to do it right" Attention to detail ensures quality. Great job! Love the custom design and setup.

Looks great! Nice to see someone else who takes the time to solder and heat-shrink instead of using butt splices. Sometimes the crimp connectors are unavoidable though; in such cases I usually load up both ends of the connector with dielectric grease prior to crimping it down. Haven’t had a failure yet! One critique I have is the quick connects you have between the BackRack and the truck itself. Those guys aren’t waterproof and I’ve seen them disintegrate and fail from corrosion. My recommendation there would be some of the same watertight connectors you used down below, Deutsch connectors, Delphi WeatherPack, or MetriPack connectors. That’s the only detail I’d have done differently, but overall you did a fantastic job!

That's a slick setup. Nice tidy install. But I will say you need some LED flood lights to light up the bed at night. Makes loading and unloading after dark a lot easier. Great job, Jay

Nice job! Looks Good! @jay- bed lights ... saw this in my UTUBE wanderings: [shrug! not a plug ...] kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWuok7eQZLTJZ8o.html

Very nice job. I like the way it looks like it was done at the factory.

Best thing l ever got for the trk.our trk isn't fancy but we can tie anything to the rack to hold it stable. Great video

Looks amazing brother! Nice clean work and your truck looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

I really like what you've done a little much for me but I still like your thinking

Exquisitely done ✔️ 9:57

keep adding lights and well see it from space! lol

Beautiful job from start to finish....I love the way you taped the "loom" I do the same myself!! Cheers from Toronto Canada!!!

Great job! Everything looks like it came from the factory. You should be proud of your work.

Looks great. I love lights I like to be seen. I have a 2017 F 250 with 8 amber on just above the front valance. Set of recon big rig lights. Rear tailgate light bar. Factory clearance lights. And a 30 inch light bar on the bumper that has a amber back lighting. Next is a head ache rack. All lights are switched so if don't want to run them. Once again very nice.

Getting close to Rooster Cruiser territory ;-) Well done! Looks amazing!

Looks awesome, I put on Recon air dam lights on my truck and love them. I think your truck would look good with them as well.

Might as well add a set of "rookie sticks" to the front bumper and put some Amber's in the front valance to complete the big rig look! LOL. Looks great to me but I am biased since I'm a trucker. 😉

Sometimes I wonder just how much free time you DO have but the end results are always worth it. NICE job! Looks like NOTHING I'd cobble together IF I could, which I can't! Now for M/M and diesel stuff besides plowing and mowing grass. Spring ought to be there by now!

I was just antagonizing you a bit because I know full well you can't get done what you do unless you burn the midnight oil candle at both ends. We don't have a t.v. and haven't had in over 10 years. Nothing there at all for us, anyway. You tube we can pick and choose even though they're pushing the t.v. thing heavy. Not for here. I appreciate what you do and the perfectionist way you do it. Clean and crisp and no strings or wild hairs hanging out. I try to do that and it works sometimes and sometimes not, but I still try. You know you've got me for a loyal watcher. I know just enough about what you're doing to be dangerous but not lethal. I even got to burn a little fuel this week trying to help a neighbor rearrange his swamp with a pond in it. He's happy so I am too. And as always, you did a BANG-UP job! A-PLUS! Later, Pal! And it'll always be supper for me, not dinner!

Nice and tidy! Getting jealous now!! Can’t wait to get my truck lit up!

Great Job! I like the detail on perfection. A job done right.

I like seeing quality work with mods. Great explanation, too. All around class A work, my friend.

Great upgrades of your lights.

Looks great, now just add some chrome up pipes, and you'll have a semi for sure! Great job, done right!

More light are good, I like the idea of that back rack.

Very clear instructions. I'm considering the iboards for my 2015 F-250.

Very nice. Looks great. Professional installation. Impressive.

Very nicely done, love the look. Would very much like to finish off my F-250 similarly but do not possess your skills or patience (unfortunately I did not inherit those from my machinist father ☹). Keep up the nice work and very informative videos.

You lost me right after.. Hi everybody welcome back to the channel! I have no idea what u did or how u did it but it looks awesome! VERY IMPRESSIVE!

A really professional job. Fantastic.

Thank you for the videos.i have a Ford Transit 350 HD van 2016 .your videos help give me some great ideas for my van 🚐👍🏽🇺🇸🇲🇽🙂

Looks great sir, nice professionalism on your installation

I would like to place my order for the running board amber light bars. And I would like to select local pickup to save on shipping. Thank you

A really good looking truck.!

Damn that looks nice. I wish I had my '18 350 set up lime that.

I've been thinking about adding one of these back racks to mount extra reverse lights, clearance lights and a CB antenna.

Looks great. Great job on wiring.

I like your setup! You did a great job with all the wiring and installation. Looks professional!

You can use the upfitter switches to switch a ground....just use the switch to trigger a relay coil and the NO relay terminals to switch the ground.

Looks great! Love it!

looks real clean man

Great video and a very professional install. You can do my truck next!

Really Nice set up i want to do it on mine

I really like the cab lights

Getting to be to many led lights for my taste but the running board lights looks amazing.....you did a great job on those......Let me know when i can place a order for my truck lol

You do a very neat and clean job I’m curious if you’re going to do something around the front bumper

Truck's lit up like Christmas tree! :D

Nice job with your wiring.

Awesome mate, love it!!!!!

Truck would look real good with a kind visor buddy. I like your style

Very clean.

Nicely done!

Looks good Another wiring method you could use if you dont want to drill holes for more switches is get a DPDT 12v relay and wire a up fitter switch to that relay and wire the the lights to common and normally open contacts. With that said you could utilize the up fitter switch to turn those lights on and off, and still have the stop turn function per side I can explain in detail if anyone wants more info.

Dambbbbbb...what a great looking truck...

Looks awesome thanks for share

Nice lighting! How about a brush guard on the front with LED's? It's not for bumper hunting it's for safety.

Great job...amazing truck transformation...can you list part #'s or website starting with the rack...I been searching for such set up due to a tri fold bed and I believed this would work for me on a jeep gladiator. Thanks. Great video

I love it! Looks Great

Out of curiosity why did you include aux 4 in the setup. #3&4 aux switches are high amperage and seeing as they are led they wouldn't be strong enough to overload aux 3 that you used originally for the running light setup (which I'm stealing by the way). Unless you have no plans to use the other switches for anything else.

What side step do you have on this truck looks awesome from what I can see

Nice work

I have a Nother part of that question are you going to do any fancy lights on your trailer

Being a truck driver, I appreciate the use of chicken lights, or the politically correct term, poultry illuminators. Very nice job and in my opinion, no overkill.

Look great.

looks good

Genius! Wish I had the talent…

Is your tonneau cover an Access Original? If so, how does the bracket for the cover work ok or should I get the other bracket that is calls for? I have an Access Orignal but I like the bracket that you purchased and was able to install lights on it also.

​@@squatch253 I want to mount the LEDs on the uprights. After I drill the 3/4 inch holes, how do I go about connecting the lights from one to another? Do I use a long wire for the positive and another for the negitive and splice each light into the wires. Just not sure how to wire the lights together. I need some good advise. I also am going to purchase the two inch riser as you did and want to add the LED lights on them also. I just want all of the lights to be clearance lights. As I stated before I have LEDs on my running boards. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

WOW! Nice work. Many should take note of your clean professional install. I found this while researching the BACK RACK. Thanks for sharing your awesome install. You got a CB or HAM in there>?

Good job man

I too like to place an order for the running board lights

Good job

Nice looking job there, now do the airdam under front bumper, please!!!

I am purchasing a Back Rack for my 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty and would like to install 4 or 5 of the 3/4 inch LEDs on the uprights. Not sure on how to wire the lights together. I have the same lights (only amber) mounted on my runing boards and wondered if I could tap into those lights for the power and ground. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a FYI, you could have enabled the additional LEDs with one of those upfitter switches if you wanted to... The output of the (upfitter) switch powers a NO relay that then acts as the switch(the one you installed) within the cab. Saves you from having to get wires in cab and only requires one wire to be run from the engine bay to your main splice.

What size did you make those holes?

Looking to put some on mine but want to put some on the vertical bars, do you know if the horizontal bar is open, inside, to the vertical bars?

Squatch253 thank you, that’s very helpful.

On the Peterson lights you added... How do you wires up the lights that blink and go brake... You hooked to another hidden switch but I didn't get to see or under stand how they are wired???? My Buddy is doing the same bar as you and just like you did. Can you send a diagram on this.

Squatch253 so basically if we want them to function all the time without and switch we tap into the brake and turn for each side (left and right) and ground them both we should be good on the lights? Won't their be an issue with the 2 separate functions of turn and brake splicing together and connected to the positive of the light? Also we have the same lights you used from Peterson. Thank you for your help

I just subscribed to your channel. Great job on the projects! Where do you get those lights from you used in your BackRack?

Turning it into a chick magnet. Chicks dig it!

Those lights need a flasher... 😎😎😎

Nice hat.

Hopefully that's not it for the lights there is still plenty of places to put lights

You're 'worse' than me,..there are not enough lights on ANY vehicle. My favorite is to install driving lights, but some of today's vehicles get all quirky on us when we add electrics etc. don't they? I'd love to add another set of back-up lights to my 2017 Escape, but I'm concerned what the extra draw on the electrics would do to the warning lights . I like the night time effects on your Super Duty now,...these light look really good.
