Over many years I have done all my wiring and lights projects in my vehicles. I happened on this post and I am impressed with your results and all you’ve done to upgrade your truck the way you want it to perform. Outstanding.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Incredible amount of technical wiring and editing on this Dan. We'll done!

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks. I am trying to take a little different approach to this build series instead of doing one video for every single upgrade.

[@ryanchandler1776]

Great editing today Dan. The variety in your content is so appealing. Keep up the good work.

[@GearsGadgets]

I appreciate that!

[@abretana]

Such a great video. Great work!

[@keitgwilliams4349]

Truck look good man keep f150 videos coming love those trucks!!!!

[@papap.8006]

Dan you did a vey nice job with your lights. It takes a good bit of patience in order to finish a wiring job like that. Very nice!

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks, yeah it’s a ton of work but totally worth it.

[@HigherStandardsKY]

Awesome video man

[@theblunden2]

Love the edit on this video 👌

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks, I put some extra time in this one.

[@ddmcc9027]

Thank You

[@JaySorsby1]

Nice edit on the opening!

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks!

[@darknatured]

Love your videos. Seeing as you've done so much work with your lighting system on the powerboost, would you be able to help me figure out what color is the DRL wire on the headlight harness? I can't find the schematic anywhere and I'm trying to tap into the DRLs for some grill lights.

[@Jakereviewsall]

I was considering more stuff including lighting I would like to do with my 22 powerboost. I will do some things on my own but when it comes to these newer vehicles with all of the electrical and my lack of skills around electrical systems...

[@josephs8364]

Nice intro and Milwaukee tools

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks 👍

[@ahart5530]

Awesome video! I run a switchpros as well in my powerboost and I love the lights! I have a 22 xlt PB with just under 1kw of led lighting. I need to put up some videos of it. Are you in the FB powerboost group?

[@Skuxxoffroad]

Make sure to sheath your wire! Your sp9100 will catch a short and prevent big issues, but the way you ran that wire will surely cause one some day! Other than that very nice. Debating where to install my switch pros panel right now.

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks, I think I have it in good enough shape to not need sheathing, it is all wrapped for the most part in electrical tape for a slightly added protection and I put rubber grommets in the holes that I ran it through but where do you think I should add a little extra protection? Always appreciate constructive criticism.

[@jackas1583]

Where is the link for behind grille light bar?

[@PostMasterGeneral]

What fuse did you tap for the blue ignition wire? I can't find this info for the Powerboost.

[@crool88]

Dang, that's a lot of work. I appreciate all the EXTRA time required to get it all on video. Great job!

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks. I appreciate when people can see how much extra time goes into filming it. It's WAY more fun to do these projects when you can focus on only the work and not camera and lighting placements. Thanks for the kind words.

[@BoDean52]

Really enjoying some of the build your doing. Thinking maybe some videos on upgrading a RAM 1500 would be great. I have the truck for you….just trying to help the channel Dan 😂. Hope your well

[@GearsGadgets]

Thanks, I appreciate that. I would love to see YOU do some of those videos on your channel lol. I do enjoy making the truck content though.

[@BigCountry1125]

What did you hook the trigger wires to? Just ordered a switch pro for my 2022 f150

[@MikeH0311]

Did u have to extend the wire to get your switches where you put them I wanna set mine up the same way in my 23 f150

[@chadcomeaux3114]

What's the info on that flasher kit that you have for the OEM lights?

[@matthewaaron664]

Great video I know this was 1yr + ago but my question is With the Pod light mounts I have a 23 power boost and some say they are to close to the antenna. Is this the same?

[@thebionichandman8967]

How did you wire up the z flash to your switch panel? I just bought one for my truck and want to write it to my switch panel as well. I saw your install video but there wasn't much description

[@michaelingold9961]

What size tires do you have? That’s a much better look than the stock 20” they all seem to come with

[@rolandbegaye]

New to your Channel but did your rig come with the 360 camera view? If not would you do a video on the install?

[@TheEagle9er]

how did you run your radar to the switch pro

[@MikeH0311]

Will this work for a 23 f150 xlt

[@DONTTREAD823]

Have you looked into Diode Dynamics? A set of SS3’s would give you better output then Rigid imo

[@TheEagle9er]

can you mute the radar detector with the switch panel?

[@hlhl2691]

Do your ditch lights hit the hood when opened? I got some diode dynamics ss2's and they hit

[@GearsGadgets]

Nope, mine don’t hit. I just posted a photo to IG so you can see how close they come.

[@Ddenton]

What did you use for your OEM flashing headlights? Do the taillights work too?

[@GearsGadgets]

ultrabrightlightz.com

[@BILLYBAGADONUTS]

whats the wind noise like with the ditch lights on the hood?

[@GearsGadgets]

No difference at all.

[@nowweride3094]

I need help! Anyone help me out I would appreciate it! I want to place a 12 volt fridge/freezer im the bed of my powerboost... where can I pick up 12 volt or just plug it in traveling... my dealer sucks and blew me off

[@cubanb5401]

If you have the generator upgrade , you just plug it in ? Turn the generator button on ….. if you only have the normal outlets , im not sure if the wattage is to much or not

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Neetoo

[@GearsGadgets]

Lol

[@bobreid9818]

Sorry dude but that looks hokey love your channel thow

[@GearsGadgets]

Fair enough. Different strokes for different folks. Appreciate the support.
