FORD F250 MODS | FIRESTONE RIDE-RITE, VIAIR & TRANSFER FLOW TANK

In this video, we install Firestone Ride-Rite with a VIAIR constant duty onboard air system and 60 gal Transfer Flow mid-ship fuel tank. You can find links to these products here www.amazon.com... and direct links below.
We added Firestone Ride-Rite to our first truck and had great results. Our Grand Design Reflection 312BHTS is 12,000 fully loaded and the tongue weight is enough to drop the backend a few inches. Being able to control the air pressure of the air bags from the cab is a nice feature, but as long as I was adding a tank, it was a no-brainer to install the VIAIR constant duty onboard air system. Having 150 psi available at all times for air tools and being able to fill the truck and trailer tires is beyond nice to have.
We’ve teamed up with Firestone, VIAIR & Transfer Flow for this video. These are products that we selected based on their reputation or our personal experience and we reached out to them first. They provided the product for us to share the install process and provide an honest review. We couldn't be happier with how all these products are performing so far and will share more information from the road.

We built the bullet and bought a GD 337 5th wheel. Added an Anderson Ultimate 5th wheel Hitch. We had Firestone air bags, but had to remove them and change them to a different mounting style due to the B&W goose neck hitch added to the frame. Took our maiden voyage to Fool Hollow in Showlow, AZ for the test drive. No issues with the truck or GD. Using your spreadsheet b4 buying the GD our 2008 F250 fit within the parameters and worked like a champ.

[@Papa7557]

Hello Marc, My wife and I just purchase our first RV (Fifth Wheel) from our son and daughter in law. In a few weeks i"ll be heading to El Paso, TX to see family. On my way from northern California I'll be stopping by Cliff's Welding to add the Viair System to my truck. Thanks for this video, it sure help me.

[@pamcall4474]

My husband enjoyed watching this video. He has a ford f250 super duty too. We have owned lots of RVs and plan on doing a lot of Rv ing for retirement. We will be in Alaska on a cruise June 16-23 ! Enjoy your summer!

[@deseandudley281]

In my honest opinion, best RV family on KZbin! Your videos are so informative and helpful. Keep the videos coming, looking forward to season 5 (Alaska)!

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

We have the Viair portable pump and it woks great. Especially when our tires take 115psi and 95psi. Having it built into the truck is very impressive.

[@blagojevichisadem]

This video is going to get me in trouble with my wife for sure! So envious of that pump! You have to talk about that Hensley at some point too. This is seriously the only show I can't wait to watch each week. Great work you guys!

[@JohnstonJourneys]

I have a transferflow 46 gallon on my Tundra. Best upgrade ever. I can make it to the coast without fuel and to Disney with only 1 fuel stop while towing. Best upgrade EVER.

[@henryhester1897]

Got my 2019 Cougar 22RBS for solo full time and I’ve ordered everything off your amazon link so far. ViaAir, blocks, Andersons and a bunch more. Thank you. Henry

[@aprildawn8692]

Awesome video! My husband has been wanting to add an onboard air compressor to his truck, but he's unsure about where to place it. When he gets home from work he's definitely going to be watching this. And, definitely looking forward to next week's solar video. Thank you for sharing your upgrades with us and taking the time to talk us through each step. You have no idea how helpful you are! Hopefully you all are having fun traveling north! Drive safely!

[@cartergiles4395]

Just got off the phone with Cliff’s welding. Going to get the same setup but in 2 phases. 1st phase is airbags. Quoted $667 for F350 DRW. Named dropped KYD! Next time u do a meetup in the valley of the sun I will buy you a drink of choice. Thank you!

[@mgb3205]

Wow! Compressed air at the bumper! Very nice.

[@OldCurmudgeon3DP]

From videos seen on YT and other places I was under the impression that a properly-tuned WDH made the tow vehicle and trailer ride level. I was also "informed" that bags were just for leveling payload in the truck by itself. Maybe you should mention that bags don't actually increase payload capacity since that's set by the mfgr, axle, and tire ratings. ☺

[@bntroadstar]

I just had the Firestone Ride Rite installed for first trip with my new 2021 Silverado 1500.

[@FriedChickenBlowout]

I'm so glad you didn't talk about using a bike pump again, I still have flash backs to puking in my mouth when you suggested that route before...

[@jemezray1660]

Been to Alaska many times...by airline...to fish.Looking forward to your adventures.Love your channel.

[@rollingbrockslifeadventuro7571]

We just upgraded our truck from a 1500 Silverado LS (1/2 ton) to a 2500HD Silverado WT (3/4 ton) with some bells and whistles. I hope we end up not needing airbags and such, but I love this information...got hubby watching it now and I smell something burning (gears turning in his brain)...LOL

[@rollingbrockslifeadventuro7571]

Our TT is under 7,000lbs so we are good but yes, it is important to pay attention to GCVWR...hence the reason we upgraded the 1500 as soon as we did...it will be paid off in 5 years just in time for retirement and a new TT...maybe even a small Ginger-type and brand. :)

[@jonwaldherr4092]

If I'm excited for your trip Alaska, I can't imagine how excited you guys are! Safe travels, and can't wait for the next video.

[@Phunkdewbiest]

Awesome vid! Been following your guys forever now. I guess some people haven't watched your other videos and how how thorough you are on research before application, reading the comments, love how everyone is trying to be your mommy 😀😀

[@bradlourwood5216]

I binge watched all 4 seasons of your videos this weekend. as far as I'm concerned it was time well spent.

[@travelguy8904]

You will really enjoy the air bags. I did the same thing on my one ton but built the mounts and system myself using air bags off a transport as I haul huge weights and also have 120 gallon fuel capacity total on my truck. Oh and the switches are call upfitter or body builder switches. That is one thing I really like about the new dodge and ford vehicles is the factory added switches for accessories and not have to cut into the vehicle

[@freebirdrvadventures712]

Another Great Video. I love the idea of an onboard compressor with tank and air to the bumper. After 25 trips up or down the ALCAN in the past 27 years, the last few years you can always find fuel day or night, summer or winter. But having more fuel range than you want to drive in one day is awesome. We have a 5th wheel and after we stop for the night we find the cheapest fuel in the area and fill up for the next day without worrying about getting in and out with the trailer. Enjoy your adventure and we look forward to meeting you when you get to the The Last Frontier.

[@darrylt5300]

I did the same thing 60 Gal. tank but different brand because my older track had the same brand and it was great so I stayed with that brand. I went with the wireless Airbag compressor with a pod to set the pounds. The tank is great now I can pick the fuel station i want. I drove to WA from CA and averaged 25 MPG so I didn't have to stop for gas but that was not pulling my trailer, pulling I get 12 to 14 MPG pulling a 35' 5th wheel. You will be happy with the tank and air bags for sure!

[@davidhypes5228]

My wife and I LOVED our trip to Alaska! Can’t wait to see your videos. It’s one of our favorite places.

[@korygrandy]

Can't wait to see the b-reel dashcam of the kiddos in back. I noticed they were bouncing around quite a bit back there and interested to see the smoothing effect after the Ride Rite bags.

[@UselessTelecast]

I always get excited when I see a new upload from KYD! Keep up the good work!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

👍

[@charlesboyer8207]

Me too!

[@michaelstevens6093]

I have added the Firestone bags. Viair portable because we have three trucks and various trailers. Outstanding addition. Just completed 4500 mile trip to Wisconsin. Pulling 4 horse trailer with living quarters part of trip. Goose neck hitch B&W. Installed at the factory in Humbolt Kansas . Enjoy this channel.

[@richardestenson7799]

We have 30 Gallons Mid-Ship and 60 in our bed below our tool box allowing us a 1,300 Mile Range. Having the ability to fill up when you want at the price point you want is well... "Priceless".

[@enjoylife7030]

Great video on the upgrades and thanks for the real world fuel mileage information on your diesel when towing and when empty. I was surprised you didn't talk about the weight you were adding to the truck and its impact on your payload.

[@Wheeler_Family_Adventures]

Just purchased our first travel trailer! We pick it up Wednesday and head straight for our first adventure!!Been watching your channel for a while now and enjoy all your videos! They really make me want to explore the west!! Ready for the Alaska videos but also loving the upgrades!

[@benjaminfinch6623]

Great upgrades! I'm super intrigued by the Hensley Hitch. That thing has a crazy motion going down the road. Engineers that figure that stuff out amaze me. Safe traveles to AK y'all!

[@kingkustomz33]

My favorite video. Been watching since the beginning (boat video brought me from Sailing La Vagabond) and now you are hitting stride for sure. As we travel this year I can’t wait to see how this season goes. You are now in sitcom status I would call it for lack of a better term. My wife and kids used to make fun of me for watching and now it’s “do your RV or boat people have a new video?” Keep keeping the day dream for us.

[@joecool509]

Cool shop to let a customer video under a lifted truck.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I agree.

[@harold-miller]

Super jealous! Nice job on teaming up with some GREAT partners! Viair is THE name in portable air compressor systems. Onboard air is sooo convenient! Firestone is also my choice for air bags. I installed AirLift bags but found they rode very harsh on my Tundra when unloaded. Switched to Firestone and the ride was almost as smooth as stock. I'm also glad you mentioned WDH and airbags. Too many times I see folks not taking the time to dial in their WDH and simply adding bags when their rigs are still sagging. Just as you said, this simply REDUCES that weight distributing properties of the hitch!

[@arturowagner4728]

wow... makes me wish I could make some upgrades on my truck... this looks really cool!

[@llmccray]

Marc, the switches are called upfitter switches so companies can "upfit" your truck with the switches already available and don't need to be added. Nice stuff!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I'm starting to make a list of all the things I say wrong. That will be a funny video #NotTheNorthStar

[@anthonyc1883]

Marc, if you don't mind me piling on---but since you seem to be OK with a little humor---in a video some months back, the one I think in which you were describing your video gear, you called a lens "telescopic" instead of "telephoto." Guffaw! But seriously, man, your results are pro and the fact you don't know every single technicality makes your channel all the more relate-able and authentic. Thanks.

[@dongodwin2144]

First , I like the video, but if they supplied the product , if I understand you correctly, that’s a big plus. I put air bags on my 350, pulling a 37 ft. 5th wheel cardinal. Did not give me what I was expecting, but I’m okey with that. Great idea for increasing fuel tank, especially for trip to Alaska. Have a safe trip

[@0HARE]

Awesome upgrades that really help. Thanks for the links.

[@scottleggejr]

Another option I really like are the "Tool and fuel" boxes. They go on the fillter neck and gravity feed fuel from a toolbox in the bed. They're universal, so cheaper than the transferflow setups and add storage capacity to the truck. I have my eye on a 60 gallon unit to add to my 38 gallon truck tank.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Scott L I do too, but I couldn’t sacrifice any room in the bed being FT with a TT. I’m light on storage. I think that would be a great solution for pulling a fifth wheel.

[@scottleggejr]

Yea I will miss my big toolbox when I get one. The big box is full now and the tool+fuel ones are much smaller tool capacity. As a non-full-timer, I have plenty of space in my bed.

[@danigirl7269]

Great Upgrades can’t wait to see how they perform in the last frontier.... Alaska here we come!!! Happy and safe travels😃

[@dbl.yo.3910]

Just installed my own viair air system with 2.5 Gallon tank. Just got back from redwoods and Crater Lake so far so good no leaks and yes just cool to have

[@lorilust6150]

We did the transfer flow years ago...Love it! Installed airbags 2 years ago...Love it! Also highly recommend an air brake. Has saved our breaks many times!

[@lorilust6150]

Pac Brake...compression brake.

[@RVLifestyle]

Even though we are in a Spriner motorhome, we have air suspension envy. Ours is the 2017 Roadtrek CS Adventurous XL 4X4 and the 4x4 makes for a really, really rough ride. Keep up the great work. Jennifer and I love your videos and your great videography. Enjoy ALaska!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Hello Mike and Jennifer. Trish and I listened to your podcast many times per week prior to leaving for SN1. What a great source of inspiration and information. Keep in touch. Hopefully, our paths will cross.

[@donmurphy2902]

Marc, great video! We have yet to buy our rig yet for varying reasons but as a former Insurance photographer, I can tell you the damage to RVs that I saw the most were tires and axles failing so great information.

[@geemoe3064]

The VIAIR would be good for those that go off road at the beach to refill our tires! Also like the idea that it is aftermarket. Had a Mazda MPV years ago that we could inflate air levelers to tow. When the compressor Mazda had on it went bad, they wanted a ton of money to replace it so we did added some air tubes to manually inflate it. Thank you for the great idea.

[@AllElectricFamily]

Some serious food for thought. We are going to have to look into some of these for our truck and rig.

[@pkc68]

Kid looks like he's a damn good mechanic safe travels

[@mudbud255]

Awesome upgrades. It's nice knowing you have plenty of fuel and having air in the middle of nowhere. Someone somewhere will be very greatful that you had air. Love the videos. We've got the camper and tow rig but do to my work we won't go full time until I retire. But until then I'm living the dream through KYD. Thank you for all the videos.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's true. We slow when we see an RV on the side of the road. As you know, we've been there, but now we have everything we need.

[@MickeyCloninger]

Finally the video I’ve been so eagerly awaiting!!! Exactly what I need for my setup! Thanks!

[@suemeyer7551]

Since the trip to Alaska and being in Alaska is going to be so spectacular, you should think about doing a second video midweek. Not perfectly edited like normal, just some fun stuff :)

[@charlesboyer8207]

If you have time!

[@rickyblackshear2146]

I like that air coupler for the tires. Good Setup! 👍

[@alexhilton4657]

That onboard air is a very good feature you are really going to like that! Can't wait to see season 5! Super excited!

[@kayleeskottagelife6569]

I have four people on KZbin that I follow and all four are heading to Alaska right at this moment. actually one of my people I follow just made it to Alaska this week. And I follow someone that actually lives in Alaska. Alaska must be the theme of KZbin this year

[@tristanj9245]

Thanks, Marc. Your how to videos are fantastic! These upgrade videos are helpful too. Thanks

[@thegmguy1]

Hey Marc one thing I would definitely go buy before you get into the desolate areas is a code reader or the edge insight monitor so if you have any issues on the road you can check it and even clear the code if it’s not a major issue. Like if the dumb emissions crap decides to put the truck into limp mode you can have a chance to keep moving and not stuck on the side of the road.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I've got one. I got it after our fuel pump fuse went out in Bend, OR.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I have truck envy!!!! LOL, I can't wait to see Alaska through your eyes😊

[@Yikesforsure]

Another terrific video... it’s hard to make technical videos interesting, but you’ve done it!

[@lordrichard8184]

I really like the larger fuel tank you put in. Way better then the ones that sit in the bed. They eat up a lot of bed space.

[@tomdellaringa3684]

Satellite cell phone is the way to go, brother in law used one when we where in Alaska. great videos and can't wait for our trip with you to Alaska. Arizona is way to hot right now. We love Arizona, would not live anywhere else. Stay safe.

[@davet7663]

These are all great upgrades if you have a boat load of cash but unnecessary. I lived in Alaska for 45+ years, drove the Alaska highway down and back several times towing an RV or pulling a cargo trailer. Never had a problem getting fuel, never had a flat tire, never had a break.down. Your not going to uncharted territory. Take it easy,drive safe and enjoy the journey.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I'm sure that's true. I think these upgrades are nice for just being Fulltime. I'm eager to show AK through our lens and not all the drama. Same as Mexico.

[@robandchantelgibbons1491]

I would have never thought about a fuel tank upgrade! Oh, the things we learn on KYD! #addingtomywishlist

[@markbond6196]

One switch for air horns..you know, for the boys....yeah right...you know you'll be checking out the truck stops along the way for the train horns to install...LOL.

[@samwalker3441]

All of the add ons are well proven and are quality parts. Great choices for your truck.

[@amyburgess4404]

We have been shopping for a new rv to go full time. Your videos really help! Thank you!!!!

[@alanhester9984]

Getting fuel in the summer is usually not a problem, just fill up at every major town which are about 300 miles apart. Winter, getting fuel after dark is an issue going up there. Just don't drive after dark as you increase your odds of hitting a moose darting across the highway. Even in a full size truck if one hits a moose, a lot of times kills the occupants too.

[@margaretflack7973]

We just bought a Viair pump for our tires. We added air bags to our F-150 last summer.

[@circlegoutdoors9388]

I can’t wait to see the Alaska videos that trip is definitely on the list !!! Safe travels!!! Come on next Sunday!!

[@Firepoepoe]

Reading the comments, I too was wondering about the water in the air lines. Most air compressors have a drain valve or petcock to get the water out that was made during the compression process. Maybe you could give an update (I may need to just watch further ahead in another video) as to how this worked out. Also the boys would really dig an airhorn set up on the truck. Just saying.

[@jeremyspecce]

UpFITTER, not uplifter. Love the spot you chose for the air fitting, easy access and mostly out of harms way, plus as close as you can get to the trailer tires.

[@travelling_stephen]

Brilliant upgrades, looks like you found a really good shop there with cliff's welding.👍

[@jkwhiting]

Upfitter switches! Great upgrades guys.

[@ranchhq8014]

Another Classic KYD Video. My thoughts, free of course: You used a good looking install facility; clean/organized/and busy. Both modifications look to be well thought out and researched. Good job, Trish. All I could improve is the use of "double nuts" at every opportunity. Tough to do now that they are dirty, but that's what boys are for, and I use a "Dyno Labeler" and post the required air pressure on every rim. Waterproof labels, of course. Don't scrimp on valve caps, and as for air horns; to heck with the boys, get some. Moose tend to respect them. Prius', not so much. Once again, great video.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol.

[@jiminalaska]

I just drove rv to ak. Arriveded here labor day. You can get fuel on a pay at the pump about anytime. I came up then cassier hwy more scenic BUT ROUGHER. Diesel was 1.58 per liter can in the more remote areas of can . Filled up today in Wasilla 3.32. If you have any questions let me know. I stayed in provential and state parks. 10 to 20 per night . Dry camping. Jim

[@TheSwordnhand]

I have lived in Alaska for the last 10 years and whoever told you gas stations close at 6pm was pulling your leg. Alaska is just like the lower 48 with 24 hour gas stations. If you have any questions and want to know real advice about AK feel free to drop me a line.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We can't wait to provide our own content on this topic. We heard a lot of things about Mexico too. But these upgrades are really nice for being full-time. Perhaps I shouldn't have made it seem they were only for AK :)

[@TheSwordnhand]

Keep Your Daydream no worries, it is not the first or last crazy thing I will hear about Alaska. The ALCAN will be your biggest adventure, once you cross the US/Canada border it is smooth sailing. Biggest piece of advice for the ALCAN, take your time and once you are in the Yukon, stop and top off your gas tank at every town, some towns are over a 100 miles apart. Biggest piece of advice for Alaska, have bug spray and blackout curtains because the mosquitos are huge and the sun never goes down.

[@armandoperezjr]

Great video, and subscribed at the end. Definitely a dream of mine to fix my F-250 to be able to go to Alaska.

[@christieobrien4437]

Very interesting to see how that’s all done.. great video you do an excellent job explaining everything..

[@scottmaschino1927]

If the air fitting doesn't have one, you should get some kind of rubber boot / cover for it. It's a great idea putting it where they did, but water and road dirt, even on the paved highways, will work into the fitting and causing it to jam up and either not open or not seal when you connect your air hose. Or worse, when you release the hose, it won't seal right and will leak down causing ride issues with the air bags.

[@scottmaschino1927]

Almost forgot... A cover needs to go all the way to the base of the fitting down by where the fitting goes through the metal, not just the end. There are small bearings under the part that slides back. Those will rust up with moisture and sand will pack into the area preventing it from sliding.

[@haroldforsyth4127]

I used a bulb off of antifreeze tester cut the hole a little bigger fits perfectly

[@charlesboyer8207]

Marc, he very right!

[@davidwylie796]

Why isn't a generator a more useful investment than a compressor? Watching other channels, it feels like the first accessory I should buy for my trailer. BTW love the details in this.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We did solar and lithium. It's more money, but now there is no difference between RV parks and dry camping. Next weeks vid. My only beef with a generator is I never wanted to pull it out of the truck and setup for what ever I wanted to do. Coffee, charge a computer, etc. It was always, Eh... I'll wait. The onboard gens in Class A's or toy haulers are nice, but our rig won't fit one of those.

[@bishopgeorge1333]

Wow, awesome video and very nice setup, upgrading the diesel tank is great keep them coming.

[@HinsonCo]

We're not headed to Alaska, but I have some MAJOR truck envy right now. Loving these videos.

[@jordanskinner655]

Really enjoy this video!

[@cbkb983]

Love the onboard air idea. GREAT idea Marc. Looking fwd to your solar vid. Our first camping trip with my vet buddies is this coming weekend at a new spot. I been bragging about you guys to them every chance I get.

[@davemenne781]

Great video! I pull a small fifth wheel (1,100# pin weight) with an F150 HD. Installed Firestone airbags - they are fabulous!

[@waltfore280]

Great video. As Ricky Bobby said, "I think I got a chubby". Love the Transfer flow tank. Excellent choice. Can't wait to get our Firestone airbags and Viair setup done to our truck. That's some decent mileage for the setup you got. Can't wait to see the solar install. Wish we could chase you up to Alaska, but, one day. You all enjoy. Be safe. Safe travels. Later

[@imanoleonardo6902]

I enjoy these informative type videos as opposed to the home movie type which you tube is now saturated with, keep up the good work.

[@104cannonball]

You just added 238 lbs of additional diesel plus the extra weight for the tank. I remember in one of your earlier videos about weight you had to be careful.

[@johnthorpe6333]

I just read about transfer flow in trailer life. I am looking into a bed mount tank. They did a nice job on the install. Happy roads and follow your nose.

[@rosekransconst.2495]

Very good job! Train horns are a must especially when someone pulls out in front of you with the camper on! See ya next week

[@KeepYourDaydream]

:)

[@RetiredAF30yrs]

I have put the air bags in, and have a 60 gallon aux tank that is bed mounted. The setup I have has a valve and switch so I don't have to pump fuel from one tank to another and a gage mounted on the A pillar. That gives me a total of 86 gallons. Not towing anything, I have driven from St. Louis to Charlotte and still had 1/4 tank in the aux and 1/2 tank in my main. An sir pump will be my next mod.

[@janicevoss864]

Hi there - I have been following your KZbin channel for quite some time. I’ve tried to leave comments, without any luck. I found out I needed to upgrade to google plus surprise! Ha! Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. Very helpful and entertaining. You must be just about ready to leave for Alaska! So exciting. Are your car seats dry yet? Lots of tears! I’m sure it was hard to leave your daughter at college: exciting and sad to. Safe travels!! Janice

[@melissaweyrick5311]

While I do not have OCD.... I will when it come to Tire Air Pressure.. And since I want a Air Horn that will, wake the dead (I have seen too many things on the road) The Viair is going on the list of Upgrades. :)

[@danbrophy3785]

You’re going to like the air bag suspension. Just did that upgrade too.

[@Lotoja-x20]

With the fuel range you have now, the next must have for less stress is the oil bypass system. I don’t trust manufacturers oil change intervals, especially with the fine soot that makes it’s way into the oil, and fuel/oil dilution that comes from the DPF regen process. 8k mile road trip on one oil change, and cleaner oil? On the Cassiar and Alcan highways, lack of fuel availability is mostly a myth. I’ve seen a few gasoline pumps covered when out of gas, be glad you’re driving a diesel. Diesel fuel is everywhere in Canada. It’s the summer tourist season, even the smallest towns know how to make money by extending their business hours. :) The one item we found in short/no supply, if you drive a modern diesel. Is DEF, and when you can find it? Be prepared to pay for it. Larger towns will have it, but you’ll still get gouged for it. People drive like crazy on those remote roads, slow down and move as far over as possible when others are around. And you’ll come back with the windshield and all the paint left on your rig. Road trip of a lifetime, enjoy!

Great modification. I had the Viair added to my 2018 F450 from the dealer so I would say you got it done cheaper knowing how much dealers charge per hour. My truck has dual tanks so I didn't need tank upgrade, smart on your part because gas stations aren't as close in Alaska as in lower 48. Good info, keep up the good work. You know you going to put the horn's on, come on go for it!!!! Keep the rubber on the road.

Nice. I thought you were Class A. Did you change rigs? If we move to 5er, we'll strongly consider F450. The boys should have horns. Trish says I'm not responsible enough. She's right. That first uplifter switch is where it will go!

Keep Your Daydream I am class a but I have a truck for home and local trips going buggy ridding. I am not a full time RV traveler just weeks at a time. I have two hundred acres at home witch is a Morton building 150'X300' with living quarters. So I'm still a part time traveler.

Now I know where to keep Grand Ginger when we sail between seasons...

[@d.pollard5962]

Great upgrades, you should also put on sulastic springs/shackles for a smoother ride with those airbags which I hope have timbrens in them.

[@erikrasmusson762]

you also might want to look into upgrading your trailer tires to 17.5 inch with 16 ply so you don't have to worry about getting flats on the rough potholed roads

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I upgraded to Sailun G rated 14 ply. So far so good.

[@erikrasmusson762]

definitely an upgrade from stock tires, another suggestion would be to lower your gain on trailer brakes on rough roads to help keep the wheels from locking up on braking as the trailer can bounce more that the truck, sharp rocks and pavement edges kill tires, also carry a plug kit for emergency roadside repairs to get you to nearest town for real repairs, have fun in Alaska it's an awesome experience

That truck is so tricked out now I'm thinking it should be a Transformer Truck. Maybe "Optimus Ginger"? or maybe "Ginger Prime"? Really interested in the solar upgrade next week. I've been thinking about beefing up my single panel and am intrigued as to what an upgrade entails. Another fun vid KYD!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

The new solar setup has been a game changer already. We're 7 days in and only $5 in lodging :)

You've reached #totality lol toe-tal-ity. Love the mods, safe travels! Cannot wait for the Kenai Peninsula reel to roll off the press!

[@dthomas2047]

Those are excellent upgrades. Really well done and having air for anything off the truck is way cool. I just started watching and the last episode I saw your we’re in the F150 with over 100K miles walking through why that truck worked. Which episode did you migrate to the new diesel? Did you provide some perspectives on that in the episode?

@@KeepYourDaydream Instead of installing a heavier fuel tank, buy yourself two or four military style [gerry] fuel cans. Problem solved. Plus, you save yourself some money from labor cost$.

[@JeepCherokeeful]

You’ll break the trailer s suspension before the trucks now, for sure. There are some massive whoops on the highways, be sure to slow down!

[@tylerwertz2868]

If u r getting horns get horn blasters. I bought my first pair and a month later bought another for my other truck. Best horns and much advised.

[@juanlongoria4684]

Love your videos, love that upgrade on your truck awesome.

[@striveforhappiness5795]

Love the upgrades! Fantastic idea and will totally help you in the long haul, no pun intended, lol.
