      One thing I noticed in all these install videos is that you guys never clean any of the places that are being upgraded, like this video right were the light is going is covered in dirt and same with headlights LOL it drives me crazy 🤣 but otherwise great channel

    2 issues with this install.
    1: your dragging them pliers all over the paint on the tailgate! Cringe mode
    2: I'm not a fan of those splice connectors.
    Those fail half the time when their not being jossled around or being sprayed with water, salt, mud. I'd advise soldering or butt connectors, and heat shrink tubing.
    Otherwise I dig the light 👍

    I have heard these don't work properly if your vehicle has back up camera, sensors, assist, trailering pkg, etc. Any advice for a light bar for 2019 F150 Platinum?

      little late but splice into tail lights instead or your truck willl think you have a trailer connected which will disable those features.

    Does this affect the back up camera?

    I wish I had researched the price before I spent needless time watching the install that I won't be doing now. Wow 250 bucks!

      J Ringo 20$+ on eBay. Not a solid bar but doing the exact same function.

    How are you splicing it into the existing wiring while still maintaining continuity?

    Wait, on the shop it says it wouldn't fit my 2018 and it said 97 to 14? So which is it??

    DO NOT spice the reverse wire into the trailer hitch. It would stop the rear view camera from working properly. Spice it into the rear tail light instead

    Doesn't make sense that the tailgate wasn't removed to make it easier

    Should have an adapter you just plug and play for that price. All that splicing makes it a piece of shit

    Why so much about the F150? Its a great truck I know and I wish it would have fit on my driveway but it did not so I had to get the new Ranger. I love my new Ranger so how about some content?

      There’s a lot of F150 because it’s been the top selling vehicle in the U.S. since before you were even born. That’s why

    I thought video was great until I seen you using scotch locks to splice the wiring, now I've lost all respect for you guys! 👎
