Backrack was a must after busting my window. KYB MonoMAX shocks, LT rated tires(dont pop as easy) bed liner, tool storage, Dickies seat covers. A locking diff and skid plates for getting around on construction sites and the land fill is on my wish list but probably won't happen til I buy a "new" truck, hopefully an FX4 with that gear already.

An 8 ft. Bed with drop-in bed liner.
Nice to see some SuperCab love
Honestly as an owner of a construction company with the need of work trucks, this is pretty much the set up I use for some of them, instead of the ladder rack, I’ll throw a tool box and instead of the front bumper I’ll just put a brush guard, I do put cheap mudding tires and wheels so the employees can have fun on the dirt from time to time
Chrome socket on an impact gun? I like to live dangerously as well. What's the wheel/tire/lift setup? Really like that look.
My build would be upgrading the alternator to 440 amp alternator, install waterresistant plug in jump start receptacle in the front grille, standard 12v receptacle on both sides of the bed, and single 220/240v receptacle at the rear bumper.

As a detailer. The husky mats are amazing. I have seen how great they work. Obviously as a detailer I want the vehicle as clean as possible, but with a husky liner or wether tech mats. My job seems kinda pointless as far as the floorboards
I've purchased and installed the AMP Research BedStep2 based on this video. Absolutely great product that solved a real problem - bed access at the side of you truck bed. Assembly and installation was easy. The whole process certainly will take less than and hour. Installs on existing frame with no drilling or modifications. Very, very nice! (A bit pricey.)
Wow I just sub to this channel and read through the comments. I believe this is more of a sales ad. Most of you are going to do things your own way. This is just a great way to see options and ideas for your truck. Looking forward to more builds and inspiration for my rig. Keep up videos coming Justin.

Thanks. nice F150. Maybe a small level too. Side step is a good idea
Glad you took off those 90s style side steps.
Personally I would of purchased a wheel to wheel running board so no side step would be needed. Also why get a silver roof rack when all the silver on the truck is blacked out? Just my preference.
Love it. Do off-road frontier!
Should have painted that rack black
I really like the Duha underseat storage. If I could find a way to lock the seats down it would make a great place to store valuable items.

That bed step is awesome... I have a 2015 Sierra SLT, I'm gonna look into whether or not they make something similar for my truck. That would be helpful!
Im sold on that Duha box! Done deal!
Honestly this is a nice looking truck as it is built, for me the roof rack would work if going camping with a roof rack tent, but for normal use I’d rather go with a tonneau cover. Either way I love the way the truck looks for being a base model.

I want those rims for mine. The under bead air compressor wouldn't be a bad idea but I won't lose my spare tire for it. That ladder rack should have been black but I'd rather a shell with a cargo top than the ladder rack. What should have been included is the latch that lets you swing down the back seat. I put one of those on my 13 and it makes for a great storage area.
What size and brand of rims and tires are those? Awesome looking!

The hitch is what I like best. I wouldn't put pneumatic equipment in the dirtiest least accessible space, nor get rid on my spare tire. Also the weak fixed aluminium frame gets in the way when climbing on the bed. Has to be better options. For the fixation great point about Galvanic corrosion but use stainless steel bolts (of same strenght) with insulated washers, not zinc plated self-drilling screws !
Nice truck I'd take it
Is there a fog light kit that fits with that bumper? Looks pretty sweet !
I'm interested in the suspension lift and tire size. Really enjoy the stance of this truck.

The iron cross was pretty cool ngl lmao
Good video. However, moving the full side step back a foot would have likely provided enough boot room so the (very cool) Amp side step was unnecessary. I like the compressor, but how safe is compressed air in a collision? BOOM?! Also, no inside blueprint/gun rack? No outside locking tool box(es)? No cold air intake mod, etc. If you ever have done commercial or residential construction, you understand the value of these suggestions. Thank you for pulling together such a nice video with some very cool mods!!
Great video and a bunch of good ideas. wish I could up-vote this video more than once.

I get that some people like the replacement bumpers without uprights and headlight protection(which I myself prefer having them), I just don’t see how that protects your truck very well against a deer considering it could just somewhat roll on the bumper, and smash your grill and headlights.
Same with that box step. Rocks will get in the moving parts and it won’t open

Amp is real good when it comes to build quality- I'm sure IF you encountered an issue (which I doubt) they will honor their warranty, no questions asked. -Justin
I WOULD SAY A BED LINER WOULD BE A MUST HAVE FOR A UTILITY TRUCK OR ANY TRUCK FOR THAT MATTER TO PROTECT AGAINST DAMAGE. AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET A FLAT NO SPARE TIRE UNLESS YOU PUT IT IN THE BED PERSONALLY I PUT MY AIR TANK IN BEHIND THE PASSENGER FENDER WELL AND HAD THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MORE LINE IS REQUIRED BUT RAN IT DOWN THE FRAME RAIL AND LOOKS NICE AND CLEAN BUT WILL REQUIRE A CUSTOM BRACKET MOST OF THE TIME TO MOUNT IT IN THERE

Those box side steps are a neat idea if you didn't opt for the factory option. But being more expensive than the factory option, they are way over priced, and only come with a 3 year warranty.

Ford doesn't pay attention to it. For YEARS they were using uncoated bolts to hang up aluminum exhaust shields, and then the shield ends up with huge holes where the bolts sat and would fall off or rattle around. Then you'd have to use huge fender washers to try to keep the thing held up.

Whats the lift on this truck???
Plan on replacing that air hose as soon as you try to extend it out. Trust me.
Needs a toolbox to be a work truck I don’t like mounting a truck box to the bed because I need all of my bed space in the weekends. So I strap a gang box to the front of the bed until I want my bed back for hauling. Nothing worse than a back seat full of sawdust and tools
What are the wheels and tires on the truck in this video?
1 zinc does nor stop galvanic corrosion, it makes it worse 2 mounting the switch and gauge under the bumper will rust it away and corrode the contacts in the switch 3 that bumper is really cool if you dont have chrome, nothing bad to say about that :) 4 why did you opt for not putting a mat over the front hump? and no rear mats? This seems like a huge oversight. I really love the idea of the onnboard air, but I never see anyone address the 20 ton gorilla in the room. That is that mounting the pump and tank under the vehicle will lead to premature failure from rust and corrosion. I never see any interesting ideas on how to protect it.

I'm sorry but you are simply incorrect about your statement towards zinc worsening galvanic corrosion. While not perfect (aluminum to aluminum) Zinc and Al are extremely close on the galvanic table while the 'Anodic Index' falls under .25V which is acceptable in outdoor/wet/salty environments. And in regards to your statement about the on board air, as stated in the video you can mount the system anywhere you see fit, we just selected the spare tire area for the sake of the video. -Justin

electrohacker Zinc coated screws are better than stainless screws in joining aluminum. However, your only going to have a galvanic reaction if the materials are touching and there is moisture present. Using bolts with Teflon washers or sealing the connection from moisture might help... but welding the aluminum directly is the only way to eliminate the problem.

Where did u get the lug nuts that hold down that mount for the ladders? I just want to take the advice you said about the problem with wrong screws on the aluminum truck.
Which’s the name of that thing you under the back seat?
The air compressor was the only good suggestion, and suspension support air bags should be a must on an F150, an 8 ft bed would have been actually useful. 1/2 ton truck won't tow much. it is very sad for me to see sooo many short bed trucks with luxury interiors pretending to be a truck
In NY that air system would be in rough shape due to sand and salt spray. Also modern trucks are hard enough to use for work without a lift kit.... they are so tall
@americantrucks

As stated in the video, there are a number of places you can install an on board air system. And I agree with you on the lift, but there wasn't much we could do about that one as all of our shop trucks already have a lift. Its also why I said in the beginning, 'try not to pay attention to the lift kit and tires as the parts in this video are meant for all 15+ F150's.' -Justin

A tool box that is half compressor and half tool box is way more utility than a unit that will take damage the first time a little clown car rear ends the truck )which will happen several times in the life of the truck) and displaces the spare tire from the most practical place imaginable for it.
That hitch was really cool but I clicked the link being scared that it was going to be like $150 and it ended up being $300.. dang that's a chunk of change for something like that.
