Precisely. With the cap change up I’m planning on doing, I’ll have a little more flexibility in the long run. Sold the drawers and now I’m onto the next phase of the build that won’t be completed probably until late June. The part that gets me is the suspension. Back in January I ordered the...

See, I figured I could get into a business of consulting after I finish this of helping people figure out what to even put on their trucks. I’ve had some bad vendors I’ve dealt with that I’ve dropped a bunch of cash but then when I need something else, I may or may not hear from them again. I’ve...

Is there anyone in the SoCal area that has one of these? I would like to look at one of these in person to see if it would be better than the Leitner rack.

They make heated lithium batteries that have internal temperature management. Self heating and insulating. Of course more money...

Actually....yes. I probably would have. Saves me the trouble.

That’s my exact thought in going lithium versus AGM. AGM works for the starter battery but for overlanding it seems that the lithium’s are just the way to go regardless of how much they cost.

That is an awesome setup. When you turn on your truck, how fast does that battery charge?

Wow I was hoping to get a grand for these at least. A new single light is $1,500?!

I would sell them as a set, unfortunately. If I sell one the other one is pretty much useless. How much are the stock lights from Ford?

I have extra stock lights I’m not using.

Bumping this. My parts are finally coming in. Need the room to install stuff Comes with 4 dividers and two of the drawer front organizers.

What? I haven’t heard of this. Does this truck not have 4x4?

When the truck is off, I’m assuming the fridge is off too. How long does the coolness last with the truck parked? Can I store stuff in it for a day or two?

I could be wrong about this but there isn’t a massive difference between the two. When I was doing my research, the differences were pretty minimal. Edit: If I remember correctly, the SVC intercooler relocated the BOV to the top of the intercooler whereas the Cobb keeps it underneath the...

There are options for front camera relocation if you want larger lights with the stock bumper. My post history has my setup and build thread.

I have my dream setup in mind. A heated lithium battery in the bed with a BCDC charger. This will route to a charging station I’ll set up in the back seat of the cab, an Anderson plug for the tent, and to the back of the truck. I was seriously considering mounting a solar panel to the roof of...

You find a need after you get the setup. I purposefully do night trails now and wait for the sun to go down just so I can use them. I plowed through an iced over forest trail at four in the morning trying to get stuck so I can use the winch. I’ve been pulling trees off of trails everywhere I...

I kept my front camera with Swarfworks. The LP9’s are fantastic at close and midrange and the XL80’s give me very good spread for cornering. I’ve been using both ambers and white lights. My ambers I have aimed a little more open due to the camera relocation but because it gives a little more...

I’m currently on an unplanned road trip around Arizona, Utah, and wherever else I might want to go. I have read everything and will be responding when I get back! I also highly recommend NOT jumping the truck with the Leitner rack. But there was minimal damage... I’m still dragging you along.

1. Alaska winter and death valley in the summer? Did you get that backwards? Or do you just not like yourself ;) I have the philosophy of the the obstacle is the way. Whatever stands in the way, becomes the way. I want to challenge myself. Ice climbing in alaska and seeing things I will not be...

Yes, actually. I’m not sure when but I am tentatively planning a trip.

https://specialtyperformanceparts.com/products/rigid-radiance-backlight-wire This is the kit that I’m going to use. It doesn’t wire tap; it adds a connection to the BCM. I saw a post from @FordTechOne regarding DTC’s from increased power draw from the BCM and inquired from Specialty Performance...

No and I probably won’t. I will have them built with the chase rack, though. I need to put spare tires in the bed and change up the mounting options for a jack, fridge, battery, etc so the decked drawers just won’t work for the long term use.

Depends on the rack and setup. Leitner makes a great product but the bed frames of the truck aren’t too strong for long term use as I understand. I haven’t noticed a problem personally but I’m in talks with two companies to reinforce the Leitner rack with a custom chase rack. Both the James...

Alright! Big update on two weeks of installs. I purchased the ORA 550 package (Hands down excellent customer service from them), Swarfworks Elite Light Mount, Swarfworks Winch Mount, 4x LP9's, 2x XL80's, 2x XL lasers (Haven't come in yet), triple foglight bezel kit with SAE Squadrons and S1, and...
