I like these episodes of Beefin up your daily driver..

The only thing you can do to increase the value of the 6.4 is take out the 6.4 and put in anything else.

And now with all the lights, box's, air, and generator. You can now safely carry enough tools and spare parts to take the 6.4 to the local grocery store.
Ha ha

Love the transfer tank and tool box combo. Wish the side tool boxes were available to fit under a toneau cover.

I'm definitely going to watch your episode when you mount the machine guns, smoke screen, and rear bullet deflector shield. Everyone should have those if they live close to the city.

I had the 55g slip tank in my 08 f350 loved it. Could transfer while hauling Rvs

[tylersmith]

That is a nutty amount of lights. And hate that back window is unusable now.

That's a sharp lookin' truck! Lets go through the price list...

Herculiner $75
DeeZee Headache Rack $350
Ecco Vantage LED Lightbar $775
Ecco LED Spot Lights/Flood Lights $75 each with 10 to make $750
Diamond Plate Transfer Tank from Napa $929
Transfer Pump from Napa $229
Diamond Plate Tool Box from Napa $374
Side Mount Tool Boxes from Napa $669 each to make $1338
Mi-T-M Air Compressor/Generator Combo $2500
Total: $7320
If you shopped around and didn't get them from Napa it would probably be a lot cheaper. As for the "working man's budget" he kept mentioning.... I don't think he made it.

Anyone else playing the Stacey David Drinking Game? Every time Stacey says "vehicle" or "now" you must take a drink. Good luck!

In my view the best liner is a bed rug. Have one in my 97 dodge since it was brand new. Of course I have a shell. Even when carrying messy stuff I put down a tarp. It vacuums up and or washes off nicely. Adds sound an temperature insulation. When I decide to buy a new truck I will most certainly put another bed rug in it.

I love the idea of a fuel tank in the bed of truck

[Vincent-kezn]

What would be cool 😎, would be to put taillights in the headache rack

[mcinkyt]

I suspect a lot of forward effectiveness of those lights would be absorbed by being mounted low on that double cab roof

[garygraham]

Hi I love the Mopar you are working on I'm a Mopar guy

[kman-misu]

Some neat ideas, It gives me some for my project truck. I have a 1988 Ford F250 7.3 IDI diesel extended cab long bed truck. I've swapped the tired 7.3 with a good condition used one so far.

Since the 6.7 ford has been solid, and I would have a hard time choosing between Ford, Chevy or dodge. All three make a solid HD that will pull so much you need a CDL to get within 10, 000lbs of the max towing capacity.

The best upgrade for a 6.4 is to sell it

[BlueDuallyx]

I generally like the info Stacy gives, but affordable went out the window as soon as he said light bar. A good one is a grand or more, and that many additional lights was likely another grand. LEDs are awesome, but good ones aren't cheap.

Hi Stacey, love what you do at gears every build you do is awsome, do you remember a while back, I'm thinking 10 to 15 years ago, maybe when you were doing trucks, you did a show case on an aluminum foldable crane that could mount to a receiver hitch or mount it in the bed of the truck ??? Hope you remember !
