Waterproof LEDs from Amazon. They work great. I drilled and taped a 1/4" hole in the face of the reciever tube and bolted them on.

Hello Crumm, I like all of your lights! I'd like to get a pair of the lights you put in the grille, do you have a part # for them?

Crum,Thanks for the link, I'm going to order them today.
Did you wire them in to the parking lights? Or to an upfitter switch?

Wired to parking lights and turn signals. They have three wires park/turn/ground. Used three terminal weather tight plugs so they can be unplugged for easy grill removal.

I have been running Crewcab Longbed for the last 20 years but now that the kids are grown and gone I really like the maneuverability of the shorter wheelbase.

I feel the 6.2 suits my needs just right. I have a 7.3 powerstroke and for longer trips its a better choice but for my daily driver the gas makes much more sense. So far I couldn't be more pleased. Great power with the 6.2L, quiet, fast warm-up and very comfortable.





2015 F350 SuperCab Lariat with 8' box and all available factory option except tailgate step and garage remote.

It's crazy how the ruby red changes colors in different light.

My mods include :
35" Toyo A/T II (285/75R18) Speedo re-calibrated and TPS adjusted
Rigid Industries 20" combo light bar in bumper
Led ditch lights on running boards
Led auxiliary back-up lights
Recon mirror lights
Front and rear TicNiq auxiliary marker/turn lights
Husky-liner floor mats
Husky-liner mud flaps
Spray-in Polyshield SS-100 hot-mix arctic grade bedliner
Stall-mat heavy duty rubber cut to fit bed
Window tint
Oil and transmission pan heaters
Viair compressor
UWS Black cross-bed toolbox
Trimax Razor adjustable hitch with dual ball








Still to come:
Firestone Ride-rite
Air Lift wireless compressor for the Ride-rite
StableLoads
Torklift camper tie-downs
Super-hitch


How are you liking these tires? Any issues running them with the 6.2? Truck shift different, MPG take a huge hit, road noise? Thanks!

Really liking the tires. Great traction and quiet. Took it to the dealer and had it calibrated for the 35" rubber so it shifts fine. Mileage took about a 2mpg hit.

I didn't know calibrating the tire size will adjust the shifting as well. Also, I thought the dealer was only able to select from stock tire sizes on the computer.

Yeah they select tire size from a list. The largest available was some size on a 20" wheel that calculated out to something like 34.5". That's the one he picked and the speedometer is dead on via gps.

The speedometer was running a few mph fast with the stock tires/stock programming. I have heard they come from the factory a little fast to give the illusion of better mileage and to prevent any disgruntled customers that get speeding tickets. Dunno if that's a fact.
