That was awesome. I was holding my breath because I was already you’d have parts left over. I know the family is proud of you. I enjoy all the videos. God bless you
Out here in the Great Pacific North Wet we don’t have a lot of use for snowplows but it always fascinates me to watch the preparation that goes into not just surviving but thriving in other areas. Keep em coming!
This might be my favorite video of yours so far. Even though I will never do this, it was great seeing what was involved in modifying your truck to accommodate a plow. Anyone who lives in snow country appreciates a heavy duty plow that can open up a path to the main roads.
Enjoyed it! So it's not the usual farm chores but it's still a chore that supports the family and the farm. I'm looking forward to seeing you finish up the plow.
GREAT video Al, you saved a lot of money doing that harness work on your truck yourself! Gina is a lucky lady to have such a husband with so many skills. Also this is part of farm life so I think it is a breath of fresh air when you show us more of what has to be done on the homestead. Thank you so much for sharing 👍😃
Watched this with the man this morning..and everytime you panned across the battery and it was still connected...i think he shook his head..lol he was SERIOUSLY worried about your beautiful new truck..i just said ya know hes done this before....then i got questions like..wow well what does have to plow with that thing babe. He needs a farm truck...i just smiled and said," MASSIVE SNOW HUNNY!! Snow galore!! Hes younger than us..that is his farm truck!"..hehe...
New formats, new ideas all good. At this point branching out into different projects alongside ''regular scheduling'', creating different contents will do nothing but good things; and keep bringing people coming in ( and give you a bit more creativity, now that you're a man of leisure lol ) If it makes any difference, I threw out my TV when I found this channel and the few like it - fascinating to watch how the stead is progressing and all the projects that'll happen. Thanks again for sharing and glad its allowing you to do it full time.
This video shows the reality of farm life, and we loved watching. More videos like this would be great. Warning! It pays to be handy and it's tough when your not.
It's true I'm not always interested in a topic such as this.However, I always watch because I enjoy how well thought out and clean your work is and that you stay centered and figure it out when something doesn't go your way. You are a wonderful instructor Al !
Great job Al. You are a jack of all trades. I don't know much about engines so it was an interesting learning opportunity to watch you work. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you’re the only one on RUclips showing how to install the wires for a Boss Plow. I’m trying to get a HTX V Plow for my Silverado and install it myself as well until I saw the process of wire install. With electrical being my weakness even though I’m very mechanically inclined, I think I’ll have that part serviced. 😂 great video btw
Great install video. As a boss fan for over 20 years. One thing I like to do is run a jumper wire from the ground of the solenoid to the ground of the battery. This will give a longer life of the solenoid.
Yes Al, we always seem to be trying to keep one step ahead of the N.H. winters! Our kitchen stove wood is in, but we have 3 cords of the big stove wood to get under cover. I am very impressed that you took care of the wire harness now. It is good to be prepared, with fewer last minute hassles. Thanks for the installation video! My little 2004 Tacoma is plow-less, but " Ruby" can make it up our snowy steep driveway 99 out of 100 times! A storm last winter, rained and froze under fresh snow. I almost made to the top, before the truck slid backwards, stopped by logs placed along the side. One of our Ford tractors had to pull it out :-). I still want a Kubota.......
Great job Al, it was seamless to us from here. what was the actual real time for you to get the first strep done.. Seems simple if you follow the instructions and take your time, and it saves you a bundle if you had Toyota or a dealer do it for you.. Awesome.
Really good to see your knowledge with vehicle electrics... most people haven't even heard of using dielectric grease. I don't like scotch lock type wire taps either, they are always a cause of issues especially out side of the vehicle cabin where they are exposed to the elements.... pity Boss didn't make fly leads and connectors to keep everything OEM spec.
Great video AL as always, great job on that crazy wiring job, I hate having a messy engine bay with wires everywhere, you made it look so easy.I was wondering why you chose the Tundra and why you don’t have an old beater Farm Truck? Thanks John from AZ 😎👍🌵
Lumnah Acres I get that you don’t want extra vehicles not being used, I don’t either. I just assumed every farm needs an old beater truck to do farm chores and such, I guess not every homestead needs that! You rock AL, love your channel!
Really Nice truck Al...glad your doing this series, especially for this truck. My 98 silverado is still going strong, but my wife & I decided our next truck will probably be a Tundra. We will also be getting ready for winter in about another month...with the lake erie snow machine at our back door, its only a matter of time. Take care~ Shaun & Sarah
We have gotten snow before in late october/early november, but its usually just a dusting. The real snowfall usually starts around Thanksgiving...lasts till late March-early April. Take care~
Ya had me cringing on drilling the fire wall. I would have been scared to hit an ac line. You definitely are a jack of all trades. Can tell you have been around cars a bit. Great video sir.
Al you doing great awesome entertainment. Almost got all your videos watched all are good . You look more happy what you are doing now than when you where aligning that car in first video. So keep up great work .
Wow! I'm impressed! 👍 Good job on taking your truck apart, installing all those wires and then putting it back together! Just out of curiosity, about how long did that take to do? ❤✌🇨🇱
Wow, a lot of work and just as clear skies mud. I am thankful we do not have snow in south Texas. We have been having 95 to 100 degree weather here. Yesterday I nearly callapse do. It was 101 in the shade. Are you going to be canning or freezing anything from the garden this year? God bless America. Nice job Al. How much would someone charged me to do the same work on my truck in that area?
Not sure how much we're going to get out of the garden this year. All the rain has taken it's toll on it. The dealer wanted $850 for the plow installation
Loved this video! I would love to take an automotive class, but, alas, my squeaky bones won't allow it...so I'm counting on your next one! Thanks, Barbara
Sausage and Links can stay nice and warm in a frying pan. Mmmmmm. Tasty. Al, Have you ever worked for UPS? Going out in the cool temps in shorts is a UPS concept. I have a stack of yogurt cups with my tools. When I disassemble a car, I put the fasteners in the cups at the various stages of the job. It can be annoying to realize a screw or clip should have been installed a few steps ago requiring some back steps.
Nice clean install except for the scotch lock connectors. I absolutely hate those connectors. You will eventually want to cut and splice those wires in by soldering them in. Lot less chance of pulling apart or corrosion. But it’s good you used the dielectric grease, it will help in the meantime. As always great video!!
Gooood Mawnin' Al! So in a word....Envious! I'm a diehard Toyota fan with an '05 4runner and past owner of more Toyota vehicles than I want to admit. Watching you install the wire harness for the plow both makes me want a new pickup as well as a plow to put on it! If only I could justify it! I have only 128k miles on my 4runner so I feel like I've only just broken her in! I have a 4.7L engine, I can't imagine the power packed into the 5.7L engine, must be nice. Is your truck like mine in that it's always in 4 wheel drive? I get 22-25 mpg highway and find it really hard to beat for 270hp in a 4 door with a V8. Lastly, what happens to the warranty on the vehicle once the plow is on?
Why did I watch this ...... I've never even owned a truck, let alone a plow ~8^) Wait ..... what .... which wire that went to the thingamajig did you hook-up to the whatchamacallit again? Take care Al, Gina & Olivia.
Donald Miller there is a huge difference in plowing inside of a nice dry heated cab with an 8 foot v plow and out in the elements with a 4 foot bucket that doesn't angle. I bet the plow is at least 5 times faster and 20 times more comfortable.
dp pmm , Well yes , but using the tractor does not require dis -assembling your new truck. And then carrying the plow everywhere you have to go . I used to plow with my small tractor , using a home made 3.5 foot plow that did not angle. In fact it only lifted about 18 inches also. I was always busy enough that I never felt that cold. But , I never had to drive my tractor to town with a plow on it.
Donald Miller I guess it comes down to personal preference. I used to plow my yard with a small tractor as well. We get a lot of wet snow now and I got tired of being wet all the time, plus I like getting my plowing done in 20 minutes instead of 1.5 hours. It only takes a couple of minutes to take the plow off. To each his own I guess.
Yes, the plow will easily disconnect, so you don’t have to take with you everywhere. Disassembly is a one time deal and well worth the effort for years of comfortable plowing. I would also think there would be some income opportunities. Excellent job on the install Al, I look forward to seeing the metal get mounted.
really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing. even though where I live we don't need a plow & that is the great state of Michigan.HAHAHA don't you need a BIGGER battery?
I don't know al If your going to keep ole red I wouldn't come any where near my new yota with that plow but it's your acres brother great vids have a good one
Thank you AL for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden on RUclips 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐈🌱🎥👍👍👍
You did a great job putting your BOSS together I've been doing this for over 33 years and great job Al
You install boss plows?
That was awesome. I was holding my breath because I was already you’d have parts left over. I know the family is proud of you. I enjoy all the videos. God bless you

I always love watching you work no matter what you are working on. So many skills necessary to run a cost-efficient farm.
A very smart, organized man. Excellent camera work.
GREAT video Al, you saved a lot of money doing that harness work on your truck yourself! Gina is a lucky lady to have such a husband with so many skills. Also this is part of farm life so I think it is a breath of fresh air when you show us more of what has to be done on the homestead. Thank you so much for sharing 👍😃
Great video . . . looks like you read the instructions well . . . a farmer has to be good at everything.
Rod MacKinnon for sure

Another banger video this is my new favorite channel
Amazed that you know how to do everything you do.
Very interesting not sure why enjoyed the video anyway.
Thank you
Good to hear the old outro again. Thanks for continuing to make great videos.
Great video Al! Very informative and I learn something every Time!!
Oh my word Al, how is it that you know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING? Awesome job.
Your abilities are admirable.
Hello Lumnah Acres been watching for awhile and I love the names you give your pigs!!! Have a great day.
this guys a beast man..... how the hell have I never seen his channel before! he makes everything look simple

Hey, I really enjoyed the installation of the wiring harness, great video. Thanks :)
Great job !!!! You always impress me with your talents !!!
Looks like you have done this before. Good job. Hope it works when the snow begins to fall.
Loved the vid, Al....great job.☕️ The pigs are getting Big! (Remember when they were just tiny & under the hay in their sleeping quarters💞)
Great job Al, it was seamless to us from here. what was the actual real time for you to get the first strep done.. Seems simple if you follow the instructions and take your time, and it saves you a bundle if you had Toyota or a dealer do it for you.. Awesome.
The wiring took 4 hours. The dealer wanted $850 to install the plow
@@LumnahAcres And they would probably not do it right!

I love to see you work doing mechanic or anything else it's fun to see you doing things!
Great video AL as always, great job on that crazy wiring job, I hate having a messy engine bay with wires everywhere, you made it look so easy.I was wondering why you chose the Tundra and why you don’t have an old beater Farm Truck? Thanks John from AZ 😎👍🌵
I don't like having vehicles sitting around not be used all the time
Lumnah Acres I get that you don’t want extra vehicles not being used, I don’t either. I just assumed every farm needs an old beater truck to do farm chores and such, I guess not every homestead needs that! You rock AL, love your channel!
nice to see how the plow is installed, thanks and cheers.
nice one u have a new normal and we all get to find out what it is looking forward to the journey
Really Nice truck Al...glad your doing this series, especially for this truck. My 98 silverado is still going strong, but my wife & I decided our next truck will probably be a Tundra. We will also be getting ready for winter in about another month...with the lake erie snow machine at our back door, its only a matter of time.

Shaun & Sarah
When do you guys usually see your first snow? We can get ours in October
We have gotten snow before in late october/early november, but its usually just a dusting. The real snowfall usually starts around Thanksgiving...lasts till late March-early April. Take care~
thank you for showing us how to put one of those in. I love all your videos.
Great job...I'm sure you saved yourself over a $1,000. installing the kit your self. Thanks for sharing
Ya had me cringing on drilling the fire wall. I would have been scared to hit an ac line. You definitely are a jack of all trades. Can tell you have been around cars a bit. Great video sir.
Very good job of installing. I’m glad I live where we worry only about ice, not snow!
Very good job of explaining and illustrating!!
Al you doing great awesome entertainment. Almost got all your videos watched all are good . You look more happy what you are doing now than when you where aligning that car in first video. So keep up great work .
Thanks.
How do you like the Boss plow? I also use a single blade and have often wondered how it would be to move to a V plow. I live in northern Maine.
I just built it. I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
🐷🐐🐓🐔🍓 good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update on the homestead !! 🍓🐔🐓🐐🐷
Much easier to set it up now than after it gets colder. Thinking ahead is an unsung art form. You seem to have it down perfectly.
Very true. It's easy-peasy to do work on your truck when it's 65 degrees out, not so much when it's 6 degrees out.
Al you made that look way to easy. Very well done👍
Wow! I'm impressed! 👍 Good job on taking your truck apart, installing all those wires and then putting it back together! Just out of curiosity, about how long did that take to do? ❤✌🇨🇱
4 hours
Wow, a lot of work and just as clear skies mud. I am thankful we do not have snow in south Texas. We have been having 95 to 100 degree weather here. Yesterday I nearly callapse do.

Where did you learn how to do all this automotive stuff, plus all the construction stuff you know? you do such a great job on all this stuff.
We grow up in an auto body shop that my father owned and we always did all the repairs on the house and shop
Loved this video! I would love to take an automotive class, but, alas, my squeaky bones won't allow it...so I'm counting on your next one! Thanks, Barbara
You have Chicken Supervisors overseeing your installation... very tough critics. lol
Really interesting. Very impressed with your car electrics know how. Not sure I would want to try doing it.
Like the video - keep showing ppl what you're up to!
Sausage and Links can stay nice and warm in a frying pan. Mmmmmm. Tasty.
Al, Have you ever worked for UPS? Going out in the cool temps in shorts is a UPS concept.
I have a stack of yogurt cups with my tools. When I disassemble a car, I put the fasteners in the cups at the various stages of the job. It can be annoying to realize a screw or clip should have been installed a few steps ago requiring some back steps.
Nice job. Any thoughts on off property plowing to make some extra money during the winter?
I have not sure if I will
Al, Superb job and video. Make sure you show us the rest please !
When did you get the new pick up yruck?
July
Interesting! You're very talented!
Were you able to get all that loose wire into the existing wire looms?
Your comment "how hard can it be" well it looked pretty hard to me, great job.
You are damn good at these things. Really liked it. Wish I had joined some trade school also besides focusing on my accounting degree.
Looks to be a fun job. At least all the harness seemed to fit the Tundra. Yes, Winter is on the way.
Nice clean install except for the scotch lock connectors. I absolutely hate those connectors. You will eventually want to cut and splice those wires in by soldering them in. Lot less chance of pulling apart or corrosion. But it’s good you used the dielectric grease, it will help in the meantime. As always great video!!

No I can put the truck in and out of four-wheel-drive. The plow does not void the warranty. I made sure of that before we bought it
I’m so jealous you keep talking about how cool it is... we’ve had 3 1/2 months of 100 degrees, no rain!!
That doesn't sound like any fun. 😂
Thanks again for sharing your your info on the wiring for plow, no I like the farm things thanks 👍🇺🇸
idk why but i found this video relaxing; like a homestead asmr video lol
Al, Did you get a new truck? And new attachments for it? Just wondering : )
This is it
Thank you!
Love the mechanical stuff.
I live in South Louisiana, why the heck am I watching a snow plow installation?🤔 Even so, good job.
You never know you might get done snow ❄️😂
Thanks for sending the rain to Colorado. It is cracken good!
I'm glad it made it to you
Al, Is there anything you haven’t figured out
How to do? Congrats on the Tundra I’ve have great luck with mine.😀👍🏻👍🏻
How long did it take to put on the harness?
4hours
Man it has been a looong time since we looked for a sweatshirt here in northeast Texas! Ha!
😂
Cool. A little extra DIY with this video
Great video, but, you made it look too easy. Nice to hear the full ending again. Keep fighting the good fight.
?
Does the Tundra have a dual battery option?
No 😕
Great video - its all part of farm life
Well done thank you for sharing.
Interesting video about the snowplow!
Boy was that involved. Either you did resrarch before you started, really good instructions oryoure really good guesser.
Why did I watch this ...... I've never even owned a truck, let alone a plow ~8^) Wait ..... what .... which wire that went to the thingamajig did you hook-up to the whatchamacallit again? Take care Al, Gina & Olivia.
Al , I have a question. Since your truck is transportation , why do you not just use the front end loader of your tractor for snow removal ?
Donald Miller there is a huge difference in plowing inside of a nice dry heated cab with an 8 foot v plow and out in the elements with a 4 foot bucket that doesn't angle. I bet the plow is at least 5 times faster and 20 times more comfortable.

Doesn’t the plow easily disconnect? I thought it was on a quick connect type set up?
Yes, the plow will easily disconnect, so you don’t have to take with you everywhere. Disassembly is a one time deal and well worth the effort for years of comfortable plowing. I would also think there would be some income opportunities. Excellent job on the install Al, I look forward to seeing the metal get mounted.
wow so you gave up on the colorado. Reason(s) for switching brands? Tx. Rich
Wow Al!! You must be rich, buying a brand new Tundra V8. Looking great though! Have fun!! :)
How much longer will the two pigs be around ?
End of September to October
It looks like you had lots of help from Figaro and the chickens.
They put their two cents in! 😂
I think that was a great video keep it up
awesome Video Very Educational thanks Have a Wonderful Day :)
really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing.
even though where I live we don't need a plow & that is the great state of Michigan.HAHAHA
don't you need a BIGGER battery?
I have a headache just watching you do this 😃😃
There was a little head scratching involved 😂
@@LumnahAcres Were the instructions accurate for your truck?
Yes AL great video
That was awesome. I hate working on new engines.
You made that Install look to easy Al.
Would you say that feeding chickens scramble eggs is wrong?
I have done it
If you don't tell them, they'll never know!😁
You probably made hundreds of people feel like they can do that harness install themselves. And good to hear the old sign off again.
I'm looking forward to building the plow.
I don't know al If your going to keep ole red I wouldn't come any where near my new yota with that plow but it's your acres brother great vids have a good one
Where did you get the Boss HTX?
