✅ About this video:
Today we are outfitting our 2024 @ford F450 Limited with a few upgrades. In this video, I'm going to walk you through installing several Nilight LED light bars as well as the RetraxPro sliding bed cover. Both of these upgrades have been well worth the effort. A special thank you to Nilight for sending us the light bars. If you would like to see which LED lightbars we have installed, check out the list below:
👉 Nilight LED Pods 2Pcs 6.5 Inch - amzn.to/4b2MYd8
👉 Nilight 4Pcs LED Pods 4Inch - amzn.to/3UbtYlI
👉 Nilight Led Light Bar 12Inch - amzn.to/4aH801a
These lights are inexpensive and provide an amazing amount of light!
💚 Harold & Cindy

WOW! I love your new truck!
Thank you so much!
Great video guys! Love the bed cover we are actually putting one on ourselves in near future. Put extra lights on ours as well. Nice job
Thanks! Enjoy those extra lights and cover!
Really like the RetraxPro… nice look and very strong. Kinda thought you’d go with Pace Edwards Electric Remote model, only electric for 8 ft bed. Both great looking, love the hard cover too.
The lights I hadn’t considered, good idea. Will ponder that one.
Love your Truck, Beautiful!!
Really like the Ceramic Tint, used Tint World… they do a beautiful job, can’t even see Ft windshield tint.
My F450 Limited goes into build schedule next week finally… maybe July / August delivery!!
Oh that's awesome! Can't wait to hear about it when it comes in! On the bed cover... they are really proud of the electric open bed cover $$$$$ so we are good with this one! ☺️
I have the same Retrax on our 2020 F350 and in a tight unlevel turn our pinbox has made contact with the Retrax slide rails and bent them slighty. Just a FYI!
Great video and info! Your add-on lights are super! Looked into them more and extremely reasonable price compared to BMC lights @ $500+ upwards. May need to drill a few holes in Hitch but saves well over $400 for essentially same light. I’ll follow your lead on add-on backup & side lights! Thanks for the video!
The lights have been amazing and for the price, you can't beat them! We have more truck upgrades coming soon!
Wish I could post memes in the comments 😈😂 Love the new truck guys, and all the new mods/toys, so happy for you! I think maybe a race is in order? 🤔
YES!!! 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️😂
Absolutely!!! No chance to win… 😏
Ohhhh, I like the lights! Nice upgrade!
Thanks!
Looks great. FYI, take the FX4 stickers off the side of the truck….you can use a hair dryer and heat it up first and it would come off much easier…
Do owners typically do that? New to the ford family
@@1StrangeAdventure I took all that crap off .plus the door power stroke emblems looks so much cleaner
@@1StrangeAdventuresome people just hate the stickers. Not a Ford thing at all. I’ve left mine on all 3 that I’ve had so far
I normally remove Dealer emblem and stickers… use a heatgun / hair dryer to heat them up so you don’t damage the clearcoat. I also pick up the 3M skin roll, cut sections for door sills and in ft of rear fenders to prevent shoes scuffing sills and road debris chipping fenders.
@@1StrangeAdventureI did it just cleaned up the side of the truck. If you want a full black out look.
Great video! I am looking to add a bedliner to my new F450. Are there other options besides the sprayiin bedliner that are easy to use with gooseneck when I am towing? Like Bedrug from RealTruck? Can I cut holes for the gooseneck hitch? I will be using the bed for hauling stuff sometimes and towing sometimes and want to protect the bed from dents.
I enjoyed this video love and prayers for you all and your travels
Love you
Awesome, those mods look great.
Thanks 👍
First, we really appreciate your content. Thank you for taking the time to put your content together. A couple of questions about the cover. I may have missed it, but is the cover an MX? Second question is, I noticed you didn’t install any drain tubes. Are there drain tubes and if so did you install them? Did it require any bed drilling?
Yes, it's the RetraxPro MX. It does have drain tubes, which is what my son was installing under it. The ford has two plastic removable bed inserts in the front directly under the cover housing. I drilled a hole through the plastic that was the same size as the drain tube and inserted them into it. Works great!
@@1StrangeAdventure thank you.
What’s the clearance between the Retrax canister and bed floor?
This fits perfectly under it: www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-LINK-Medium-Tool-Box-STM102/317036980?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D25P-Multi-BI-RYOBI_3338-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK862139001-23678-NBR-3338-NA-VNT-FY24Q1-Q4_RYOBI_D25P_RM%2B_AON_CPT&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D25P-Multi-BI-RYOBI_3338-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK862139001-23678-NBR-3338-NA-VNT-FY24Q1-Q4_RYOBI_D25P_RM%2B_AON_CPT-71700000117265670--&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAolLu9_4_z1UqTj067nGw7demeeRQ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8pKxBhD_ARIsAPrG45kq62j3zQSTRl0ssWhciTKvwYcW0C_ZtfiebSMk0zejKJLD17Gq9J4aAoZ7EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Does the bed cover block your view of the gooseneck ball when you are hooking up to your trailer?
As long as it's all the way open, it does not obstruct your view of the gooseball.
Look at the Morimoto third brake light with the rapid flash and get the smoke color.
Will do, thanks for the tip!
Great video! I also want to add a bedliner to my new F450. But I am looking for other options besides the spray-in. Do you know if Bedrug from RealTruck is good to use? I will be using gooseneck hitch sometimes and hauling sometimes. Can I cut holes in the Bedrug for my gooseneck hitch? Thank you
Those are great questions. I would recommend reaching out to RealTruck or eTrailer to find out. Sorry, I don't have experience with those and don't want to steer you wrong.
Great info guys thanks. How much clearance is there under the Retraxpro to the bed, AND up in the front where there's that box?
Oh and yes, remove the 4x4 stickers 😁
Someone else mentioned removing the stickers. Is that a Ford owner thing to do? I'm new here..... lol
I installed similar lights on my F350 on the rear bumper. Note to self! Don’t forget to turn them off. lol. I’ve been stopped in the morning as I’ve forgotten to turn them off. Stopped Twice!
Definitely would be bright for others! Good note!
@@1StrangeAdventure love the truck by the way!
Thanks!
Great choice on the retrax. Well worth it. Lights turned out pretty good. Did you mount the side lights under the bedside step?
Thanks! Yes, they are mounted directly under the step. Already had a hole for the drop down step you can purchase.
What was the new gooseneck ball that you got to increase the clearance above the bedrails?
Weigh safe Gooseball. amzn.to/4b3gLlY
Hi
Hey 🤗
Do you think the ho motor is worth it.i only tow about 10 times a year about 20k.i had a 2022 f450 with std 6,7 power stroke.it did very well
So far that motor is a beast! A lot more power on take off than the RAM HO for sure!
@@1StrangeAdventure I bought a 2024 ram 3500 dually with regular Cummins .what a huge difference.i just don’t know if 50 hp and 150flbs of torque is worth the extra 2,500k .i can’t seem to get a real good answer
@@skeim5620the bump in HP / Torque is beneficial, although you gain several additional benefits. The Turbo has additional liquid cooling, and a few other engine updates. The Stnd 6.7 also gained benefits from the HO development.
I stayed with the SO on the 2024 Ram 3500 cclb dually that I ordered. I don't need the HO and the increased service intervals.
