Great Video! The wheel well liners took me about 30 min a side on my 2012 F-150. Great addition though. Here are some more accessories to consider: - Storage box for under rear seat (trust me, though large, the Swing Cases only hold so much!). They make these for trucks with and without a subwoofer. - Mudflaps, front and back - Catch Can, as mentioned below, if you are running an Ecoboost - lights for the truck bed (the upper brake light can be woefully inadequate). - tail gate release dampener (if you are not running a truck new enough for a remote tailgate). - Insulating strip for around the rear tailgate. When you run a tonneau cover and tend to hit a lot of dirt roads, you will be amazed at how much dust is sucked into the rear truck bed. Adding a strip of insulation (like you would use on a house door) seals the airspace and closes the leaks between gate and bed. - Tie down hooks that fit into the top of the bed rails in the provided recesses.

I just bought a 2022 F150 XLT Sport FX4, 3.5L, and your list of things to add to the truck are spot on with my own thinking. Excellent video. So many other vids are saying "looks great" or "looks cool" and you don't. You are simply giving us some very practical and useful things. Will be hauling my dirt bike in the 6.5ft bed, so you have a new subscriber.

@Lulutalon 2 года назад

Another great video, I love my swing cases too. Pratical for towing gear that can be dirty and that you don't want inside your clean truck interior.

I have a 2021 F-150 XLT and I will definitely be adding the nickels today!!! I'm short and normally add a factory bed extender, but I am now seriously considering the swing cases for extra storage and ease of access. And I'm now a new subscriber!

@ktmforlife4874 2 года назад

Love the swing case. Thank you for showing that. Great alternative to the big bed back cases that take length away.

@norman311 2 года назад

A floppy antenna might be annoying but I'd still want one at the factory length. Perhaps somebody makes a stiffer one? The reason you'd want a factory length antenna is that then top is approximate 2 inches above your roof line. When you're in a parking garage with low ceilings, the antenna will hit first before your cab.

With my truck only a few days out; I ordered several attachments lastnight. Husky was a brand I ordered from (mud gaurds). I might get the well liners now. Also I forgot about the antenna! I have a "highway products" pick-up-pack in my drive way so I won't be needing the swing compartments. One thing I ordered, I've actually never purchased is an AVS hood protector. It adds to the look really well. Check it out. I got the Aeroskin II.

@ablebaker1275 4 месяца назад

I have a 2021 f150 XL It didn’t come with skid plates. I think the FX packages come with the metal skid plates. I have what appears that most trucks come with an EGG carton type material that seems to be sprayed with bed liner. (Splash Guard not skid plate) Fell apart in the snow..Ford does not make a metal exact fit replacement. I bought a metal skid plate from Ford that goes to Raptors. Fits but front brackets don’t line up to frame slots. For $50 more I bought metal rather than EGG carton garbage for $120… so far so good!

My Tonneau cover used spring loaded vertical handles to release it from the bed. Do you know if the swing cases will get in the way of the Tonneau cover handles while closed? Making it more difficult to release and attach? My ford bed extender got in the way of this when folded.

@Delzona 2 года назад

Great ideas! I'm going to use some your ideas for my new Maverick once I get it. Of course living in Tucson tint is #1 add on!!! Those Husky wheel liners are interesting items, I didn't know they existed so I'll have to check them out. Have you seen the work boxed by a company called Decked? I know you have the swing cases now, but those work boxes by Decked are some heavy boxes. Anyway, great video as always!

@GearsGadgets 2 года назад

Thanks I appreciate that. I have seen decked but I think I want to keep the option open for loading my bike in the back and that kind of makes it impossible. otherwise I would highly consider it.

@Delzona 2 года назад

@@GearsGadgets In one their videos a guy loads his dirt bike onto of the boxes so it is possible. However, I ride a RKS and know you have Heritage, both of which are a lot heavier than a dirt bike! So I get where you're coming from with not wanting to take up the space in your truck bed.
