Hey Cody, I was cruising down a country road about 2 weeks ago and spotted a familiar lady walking a dog. As I got closer I realized... it was Mrs.W! Then I looked over and saw that red tractor. You guys live in such a beautiful part of our state.

Looking forward to the process of wiring the "black out" switch. Also if you are going to run infrared lights you will need two alternators...oh wait :) nevermind.

Truly happy I found your channel so many years ago. Thank you for constantly sharing your valuable knowledge. You and your family stay in my prayers 👍🏽

Awesome truck, even better upgrades!! Also, I love the 7.3, great choice! On a side note, I recommend you bring a spotter until you are comfortable driving with night vision. I have had the opportunity to do this in training and operationally, and it definitely takes some getting used to. Depth perception is the primary factor for me, not so much actual visibility. FWIW. Great video, please keep pushing out the content!

I always appreciate the way you explain the purpose of things like these mods and how they work. Thank you!

Driving dark sounds awesome! I hope you never have a “need” to do that but that is so cool!

King shocks and a Rolex on the wrist.... times are good! 👏🏻

Waiting to get my truck from the dealer tomorrow! Watching this with extreme interest.

I'm loving the compressor install, and the rear Schrader valve location is smart!

Great work! Every little pebble in the road will no longer be going through your spine and all your quality upgrades can handle the power of the dual alternators!

Great tuck!! Your builds are as I would like my own setups..very clean and proper..its gotta handle so much better with these upgrades..god bless

I use a pvs14 at work sometimes to patrol on night shift. Nothing kills your ability to utilize night vision in your vehicle more than interior light pollution. Kill switch is a must if you’re serious about nvg driving. Hope you do a vid on this.

Great to the point video on accessories that really matter. Thanks Cody

Great upgrades. On the air bags, they technically don’t increase your payload capacity. The weight of the air bags and all the other extra’s you installed, actually reduce the available payload capacity (which is listed on the sticker inside your drivers door). My 21 F350 dually 6.7 long bed has a cargo capacity of 5,650lbs. That number, regardless of what I add to the vehicle to decrease squat, never changes, and cannot legally be increased for my truck. You can just about tow a house with your rig, but so many folks pull huge trailers and 5th wheels based only on their GVWR, and that can be a liability problem if you’re involved in a collision. I see F250s all the time pulling 40+ foot 5th wheels and their trucks look leveled out because they have air bags. And if you have a 6.7 diesel there’s plenty of torque to get you anywhere you want to go. Just throwing that piece of information in to inform folks about the CC and how important that number is when planning to tow a trailer. Thanks for the great video!

@@uselesslyopinionated8447 ha, they do add stability to your ride, which makes them safer tow vehicles. While legally may not increase your load carrying capacity but anyone with a brain knows you're vehicle will handle the weight better with airbags and logically would increase your safe load carrying capacity. I'm not recommending exceeding your vehicles weight limits but all the trucks I've had with airbags handle 10x better than stock trucks.

Coming along nicely!! I'd replace the running boards with functional rock rails.

Kitted out! That thing has turned out sick!

I love this and the upgrades but it brings back a memory of my neighbors oldest daughter going to her HS Prom. Her boyfriend pulled up in a new but well lifted truck. The young man had the grace to also show up with a new ladder that enabled the girl to get in the front seat. And life moves on.

Those piaa lights give me the fizz!

Lots of cool upgrades!

Go for the automatic running boards, improves ground clearance and aesthetics and Mrs. W has a step whenever the door is open

I like the night vision idea!

i bought my f250 with the tremor package. saved me a lot of headache. its pretty good off road. i love these trucks

Thanks Cody. Be safe

That is one loooong truck! Thanks for sharing

Hey brother, I’ve been watching you for awhile and never really commented. The king off-road racing suspension is where I draw my line. I love Kings I have the oem series on my ‘00 tundra and ‘10 suburban. I absolutely love them! Although, make sure that you maintain them. Be prepared to send those bad boys in to King to be rebuilt at around 60k. My ‘00 tundra is at that point and the coilovers have been on for 65k and 5 years with heavy mountain off-roading here in the Lost Sierra mountains and Tehachapi mountains. It’s just my experience. Thank you for you wisdom and knowledge, Frey

Nice build Cody, definitely thought this one through

The black out switch would be so fun. And useful.

Sweet ride Cody

Love the idea of blackout/IR lights for driving with night vision. I think you will enjoy that...it will probably slow you down some...I guess that depends on if you are driving on roads you are familiar with. God bless

I've been a big fan of my Duratracs, I think their traction is better in snow with no real noticeable difference in on-road performance. I'm sure you know what you want but I'm glad I made the switch after previously using KO2s.

The schrader valve location is genius!!

You did a really good job filming I would be shaking all over the place

10 mods to do if you win the lotto. Great truck...look forward to seeing the final product.

Awesome, well put together rig. 👍

Driving at night with no lights, what could possibly go wrong LOL? But officer, I've always wanted to do this... Nice upgrades. Safe Travels and God Bless!

love the infra red canonball run style.

I wanna see the night vision truck !!!!! That sounds awesome!!! 💯💯💯

Nothing like a really useful truck.

The Toyo MT is a great traction tire for the snow and all around driving. Has super strong sidewalls and are very quiet for an MT. A bit heavier than most but well worth it. IMO

That is a great set-up all the way around. I like to get under a truck and just look. You have something to look at, and it was an F350 4x4 to begin with. (I clicked the like button Cody).

Running with no lights thats pretty cool , Cody is building the perfect moonshine runner.

The infrared light plan got me to hit the subscribe button, I want to see this in action!

Hey Cody probation is over,moon shine and pot is almost in every state, Seriously I like your truck, enjoy it and have fun using it..

Full speed down a backroad all blacked out... That is a hairy ride! Been there done that in Afghanistan, I won't be doing it again. ;)

Have the same truck, 2013 F350 but in diesel. Almost the identical build but different brands. Didn't go with coilovers on the front, but did the 2.5" King remote reservoir shocks all around, track bar, progressive leaf's and airbags running on 18" rims and 37" tires. I could tell stories but in summary, that setup will never let you down. Rides better than my 1/2 ton, goes off-road even better and hauls max GCWR like it's empty. Why every man doesn't own one is beyond me! lol - interesting IR idea BTW. (look at AMP steps)

I put the compressor direct to my bags and a switch and gauge in the cab. Adjust when you load and helps unhooking and hooking heavy trailers.

Hutchinson double beadlocks would be a great choice. DOT approved. Maybe consider selectable locking differentials for the axles as well. For the rear, a company called Sulastic makes a leaf spring shackle dampener. It doesn’t impact towing or hauling capability but can negate a lot of road and gravel bumps. Oh, and traction bars for the rear axle.

Cody, a way to keep Mrs. W happy with the running boards while also increasing ground clearance would be to install folding running boards, my father has had electronic folding running boards on his truck from AMP Research for years now and never had any issues with them, although they can be costly ($1,200 - $1800+), he has never had any issues with the units and they increased his ground clearance by about 5 inches over the factory fixed running boards, and when folded out, they drop an additional inch lower than the factory runnings board, making getting in and out of his truck easier. just some food for thought about you and Mrs. W both being happy with the vehicle

No master switch needed for lights just need Forscan !! They have a ghost mode I think that’s what they call it

Awesome video awesome truck

Duratrac looks good and does better in snow for me. My F250 came stock with them but I have used them on several trucks. Just food for thought.

I have a 1988 Chevy 2500 diesel that was an old national guard truck that we turned into a brush truck. It has the IR switch with these 4 tiny IR lights in front and rear bumper. The switch in cab says IR on off and another for black out on off. I tried it with night vision goggles and it pretty cool. I still have the old military benches that went in the bed and fold down. Now we have a 500 gal skid with hose reel and a hot shot 3 setup but in a flip of a switch we can go stealth mode. Lol

Don't forget to add a door on top of the cab and a gun mount, so your gunner can surprise whoever is dumb enough to chase you.

Cody you oughta look into the Toyo Open Country ATIII for tires. They are great in snow as well as anything else. The KO2’s are awesome as well but they don’t hold up to heavy trucks and towing as well as I would have liked. I think they would both work well but may have to end up changing the KO2’s a bit more frequently due to wear.

Very good!.

Spring for collapsable running boards they are awsome
