After 50 years of driving trucks, I have had my share of problems with half assed wiring jobs. To say I like my wiring '' done correctly'' is an understatement. That ladies and gentlemen is wiring ''done correctly!. Nice work Squatch.

Squatch “pimps” his ride!

Ha ha "The Squatch pimping the Squatch-mobile" ... that's a good one Charles.

Phenomenal work sir, you've given me new ideas for my 02 F350 ☺️👍

And I thought I was a "lighting freak". I can't match that. Fabulous job!

Big fan of the lights

Yeah his OCD is really shining through, it does look good.

That OCD is gold. :)

Sweet install. The little details make or break a project.

Looks great and clearly visible for approaching vehicles

A lot of work, but well worth it. I have an 08 Suburban I’d like to do custom like yours. That 3M tape just turns me away from every aftermarket light out the. Do it right the first time is something I’ve been taught. Great 👍 👍Job !🇺🇸Made in USA

I like your solution by using the ground to disconnect. Thanks for sharing!

these are really clean installs love to watch how you put it all together. great ideas for it all! love how clean the setup is!

only thing cooler than the light is the boss ford truck you installed them on!! 69 year old life time ford truck man yea!!!! your the man and l will be watchin!!!

First class operation as usual, great job!

That was refreshing, nice job!!! Thanks for sharing that video!!!

Very nice clean thought out installs!!!! Love it!!!

Good looking light bar and well explained why you did what you did. I was glad to see you used factory/standard color coding on you wiring harness and proper weatherproof connectors as well as heat shrink and solder (I hate of "butt-hole" connector almost as much as I hate Scotch-Loc's. Additionally I like that you made some plastic grommets\washer where you studs go through the lower lip of the bed as well as using Nyl-Loc nuts to secure the light bar. Two things I have learned over the years of my fabricobbling light bars for trucks is if the "bar is made of steel after welding always slosh some paint inside the tubing to prevent rust streaks from appearing in the future. I use enamel with some acetone mixed in to get it dry quicker and heat the tubing some with a heat gun, additionally on light bars that are attached such as yours with a lot of overhang from the mounting studs I attached rubber "bumpers" out towards the end of the light bar you to stop it from vibration. This eliminate any squeaks or rattles and protect your paint. Additionally for your wiring projects you may want to consider Mil. Spec. wire, it is commonly used on airplanes as well. The advantages of it is that the insulation is better the wire strands are finer and generally of better quality resulting in a thinner more flexible that for its size has higher current and voltage ratings and on some marine applications I have spent the extra money to get individual tinned strands for greater corrosion protection. I am not meaning to be a troll just trying to pass on some information that I have learned the hard way so other might not have to.

That is a beautiful looking truck l love the setup of lights that is on that truck. Thanks for posting

I love the way you're setting up these lights really looks cool keep up the good work I love it

I have a '16 F250 Diesel. I put a three amber light bar behind the grill. Completed the front end lighting nicely. I have been thinking of doing something for the rear. I am glad I came across this video. Only difference I will do is a single light on each end, and three in the middle, just marker light style.

I have an 2013 F350 and I'm going to do the same! Thanks for a great video!

Squatch is an artist , no longer can this be hidden.

Really enjoyed video. Thanks for sharing. Gears are turning in my head for what to do on my truck.

Dude! Love his electrical OCD. Also fun to see him MIG welding for once.

Love this video! Well done!

Nice clean work as usual.good job sir.

Wow excellent build thank you for sharing.

Wow! you do some great work!

they are going to see ya coming and going, nice truck Squatch thanks for the video

Nice job setting up and wiring the light bar👍. You can never have to many lights.

Fifth wheel gooseneck video was great I love the way you did that

Adding chicken lights is so much easier now with the little 3/4" series 33 LED. Years ago all we had were the old two bulb oblong incandescent lamps that were big and a pain to mount. Nice clean installation Toby. WeatherPack and soldered connections are the only way to fly.

Thank you for the video.Quality work.

Yes, I like it nicely done.

Great job. More people should do the red (3 or 5) in the rear.

Nice job Squatch!

What ever you do you do a great job I really impressed

As an hvac dude I appreciate the consistent color coding. Some might call it OCD. I call it serenity lol

I like those button lights (as we call them in Michigan) LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!

Back in the 80s and 90s when I drove a truck OTR we called those chicken lights...and I will add very good job...clean and neat...👍👍

I love the idea of the weather proof plugs i big beef with Ford is the fact that for a large percentage of repairs you gotta lift the cab my dodges you can work on anything with the cab on. But thats just me lol awesome video love the look of the lights

Awesome video! I have a Tacoma that I wanted to add some lights to the running boards to act like puddle lights. But now I also want to do this! Thank you for the content. New subscriber here

Looks great

I honestly do not understand the need for all the extra lighting, but it's your truck and your decision to make. Good luck with the project, hope it ends to be what you wanted.

A very neat job Toby! Well done! :-)

You know, i don't have to wait for Christmas or holidays...Every time i start my truck, its Christmas on the go! Everywhere i go, i have my Christmas-truck with me😀...

Job well done!

Sweet! You are obsessive when it comes to doing a quality job...so am I!

awesome job

I think you could still use the aux switch for the brake and turn signal by using the correct relay to activate the ground

Working on new Ford trucks(really all new vehicles) would drive a guy to love working on antique machinery where you could access most things without having to remove 20 first. I was working on my 1967 Dodge pickup the other day and noticed it has 12 wires coming out of the firewall bulkhead connector. Where did we go wrong? LOL

And my wife thought my roof top hill billy lights were too much, lol. I love the lights. Can’t have too many.

Great install, that will last a lifetime! As you ended the video, I noticed something...front is a little naked, need some amber below the bumper. 😁

Nice job.

Nice job 👍

Like your truck light videos. I’ve done a few my self. I’m surprised you haven’t done the air dam lights in the front.

ISS astronauts looking down on Minnesota at night: "Hey, there's Squatch253 out on the highway".

That's a great wiring job. Nothing looks worse on an otherwise nice truck than a tangled rats nest of wires. I hope you left enough slack in the wire for when you have to replace an LED.

hopefully more lights to come been giving me ideas lol. I like a lot of lights also.

Very cool, I love lights too! I think you should add lighted side rails next.

Nice ride

Great item. Some white back light would be cool also.

Once a long time ago, I liked many lites. That was till a Texas DPS officer had a field day writing me tickets because not all where working correctly. This was before the LED 💡. Only cost me 95.00 per light that was not correctly working. $$$$$$$$$ learning experience at it's finest. 😒 But hey your truck looks super 👌.

Looks great. Your work always makes mine feel inadequate. My only question is why not wire a relay to the #5 upfitter switch that will In turn switch the grounds?

Good job , i'm sure you have run into old trucks that have rusted body mounts that insulate ground from chassis . Lights do strange things !

I have a similar philosophy to your in line connectors, if I can help it, I always use screws instead of nails in wood. Makes life way easier when I inevitably have to take something apart or fix it.

Cool beans. Looking good. 😊👍🇺🇸🍵🍵

I’ve been doing a ton of research on the side step lights and tailgate lights. You hit the nail on the head. I have a 2014 f250. Would you be interested in making another set of each? Your stuff is absolutely top notch!!!!!

I always say you can't have too many lights especially signal and brake lights. Good Job Squatch 253

Love the work man you did a great job I wish I had you in a can lmao 😂 I'd have to buy a couple case's for what I need done but ya take care buddy

The better to see you with. 👍👍👀

Clean, well done but wondering why you didn't powder coat the bar? The paint looks good now but in a few years it going to rust. Also why not use stainless bolt and nuts? the regular steel will bleed rusty traces down the paint allowing propagation of rust on the truck itself. I only use stainless as have ruined paint from regular sttl fasteners.

Nice job.. I bet that you could sell your custom light bar plenty

Very nice......

We call them chicken lights on a big truck. You need them at night so drivers can see you in the show off lane, Chrome is for daytime. Nice job as always.👍👍

Does the addition of all these lights change the impedance of the circuit? Is the factory wiring enough to handle the extra loads? Does CANBUS play into the lighting at all? CANBUS is really sensitive to resistance changes on any circuit it may control. I’m asking because I don’t know! Lol

@Squatch253 That’s awesome, Squatch. I was really wondering if the additional lights would send some systems wacky. I love the response. 😎

13:52 "Convoluted". Love it. So true. I had to do the same with the trailer electric brakes on my RPOD travel trailer; the claim of it having 'off road package' extended only to the tires. You do some fine work! What kind of time frame would you say that project took? Also, any reason you dont put LED into the truck's main lights? Keep up the sharp work.

You would make a great front man for the 3 card trick !-Signal light-constant brown wire-2 female, 1 male-just match them up-Come on fellas put yar money down !!!

I find it funny... one person loves lights and the next one is smallest legal limit. One on either side thing and not one amp wasted on extra large or size amp bulb. I hit somewhere in the middle as I went across

Hey do you no they make those led in a dual function 3 wire low power for running and a hi power for signal or brake , i did it to wife's 2017 ram 3500 running boards, so it was a running lite but when she put signal on it flashed

Nice job! source for the connectors?

Absolutely love all the lights. Where did you get the connectors? I need some when I do mine.

Just a bit of over-kill on the light bracket, go for it

Love me a RoosterCruiser whether it has 4 wheels or 18

Is official method of joining wires at Ford a solder splice like that?

I just figured out what I want to do to my new ranger

What is the light for that you took out of there? I have one on my dually bed but it’s not hooked up. Somebody cut my wires there before I bought it. And I want to re-hook it up but I’m not sure if it is a brake light or what

Your turn to do the Christmas tree this year, Junior!

Your place is very neat; even has some potted flowers, I there are women there to provide some order.

You should have sprayed cavity wax on the inside so it doesn't rust from the inside out.

I’m surprised you haven’t added air dam lights yet!

Just missing some 18 inch subwoofers now!

Squatch, your OCD? What about mine? After watching the original light videos, I've been twitching for 18 months now wondering if you were ever going to do matching rear lights on the Silver F350. Thankfully you've closed the loop on this before my twitch became permanent.

Now you'll have to do the front bumper and your gooseneck trailer to match. I know some bull haulers and propane trucks that have more lights..........

Squatch, I think there is an unwritten rule that states if you can't see the truck from five miles away, it doesn't have enough lights on it..........

have you ever played with semi flat black?

So When are We getting Another video on your 1113 CAT ???

Where do I send a money order I need this ASAP

I really like your videos and the way you describe things makes it think anyone could do it. However I was just wondering have you ever smashed your thumb

Nyloc nuts????? What ever happened to foldover locks?
