2019 F350 6.2L 4WD build thread; HPI flatbed, ATO AterraXL composite camper, Carli/King, 37s, 4.88s, etc

[Wrathchild]

I swear some other threads were talking about the new Tremor LED's. I've seen them on Tremor's and other new F-SD's(they're the lights with the bright ass lower lights shining in your mirrors when a truck is passing you).
I just did a quick Googles search and it appears it might be Lariat, Black Appearance Package LED's?

Should have my 350 tremor here in a couple months. To get LEDs you have to get the lariat ultimate package. Or black appearance package. I think they may be standard on KR and higher trims. Lots of folks over on tremor forum, do morimotos with excellent reviews.

The factory leds are available on black appearance package and as a part of lariat ultimate, platinum and limited. My tremor had the halogens, I swaped them out to Morimoto Xb hybrid.

I have the Morimotos and love them. I’ve seen people convert to factory leds, the lights are 2k each, then you need to buy a ballast for each light, a wireing harness and have someone with forscan activate the factor led option.

Do you have the white or amber DRL's?

Again. Check eBay. I’m seeing OEM 2019 F350 LEDS considerably less than you’re saying

Wiring harness from Morimoto claims it’s all plug and play

Great to see you finally have the end product. I was able to speak to Mario at EXPO, posted over on your ATO AterraXL thread.

Thanks for giving the camper thread some life;

ATO AterraXL composite flatbed camper (pagoda roof)

Since I haven't seen any posts yet in this forum about the new AT Overland AterraXL hard-sided composite flatbed camper, and we're up for production unit #001, I thought I'd start a thread sharing info and our experience. Here it is in initial concept form; Here it is in real life, as the...

People sleeping over there apparently.

17-19 are completely different than 2020 on up.

Please excuse him. He's a RAMMAN.

 

[Explorerinil]

So what’s next for the build?

Correct.. His truck is a 2019, soooooooo

I said I'm happy with the Morimoto XB's overall. Not worth the $ to me to buy OEM LED's. Moving on....

What's next...(some of this may sound boring)
-37s go on soon.
-Been working a little bit on organization in the crossframe box. Need to track down the appropriate size storage containers so everything is tidy. Going through all of my recovery gear and bagging that...this will be a mini project to decide what all to load the truck with; which spare tools, etc. When I had VANdiana Jones, I carried a lot more tool rolls because it was slightly older vehicle. With this truck I don't expect I'll take as much, and I also am very mindful of the weight.
-King's will need to come off and go back to Carli for a re-tune. Carli/Deaver XXHD leafs have been ordered; 8-12wks away. As I think I mentioned above, the leafs are staring at me right now since the 4 HPI underbed boxes aren't on. And those boxes will stay off until leafs are installed, so there's more prepping I can do (unbox the 4 Gladiator-finish boxes from HPI and start figuring out what to put where inside them).
-Need to sprinkle its first shakedown trip in here. Will stay local.
-Lots more wiring to do for custom lights/switches/etc.
-Onboard air compressor/tank needs to be custom installed, lines run, etc.
-Lots more little things on the list too.

If you haven't looked into them yet, check out the Milwaukee pack out system. They have tons of different sizes and make organizing everything super easy.

They are also dust/water resistant/damn near bulletproof and super easy to move.

They come in a TON of different sizes. I prefer the slim ones, so i can stack and lock them into places for travel. Its a super slick system really

I have majority of my tools, electrical stuff, air line stuff, and misc spares in packout boxes in my tunnel box. Works perfectly.

Been using them for years and they've become a bit of an obsession thing for me. Hahaha

Heres a pic of how I used them in my Tundra:

How did you come to this conclusion so quickly?

My truck should be ready for local trips by the 4th of July. LMK if you two are looking for more rigs/people to join any shakedown trips...
