- Hey FOA. Today I installed the second running board on my truck. My projects are never easy. But most times I prevail at the end.

I love how you dont mind doing it yourself even if some projects dont go as planned.
Be careful with all that brush behind your rv. Probably all kinds of critters back there ❤.
Hi Anthony, You sure save a lot of money by doing it yourself. You've become quite a handyman. "Anthony The Builder." Bob the Builder better watch out!!!! 😁
We’re enjoying the 🛻 Running Board installation process & hoping that your 🥽 Safety Goggles 🥽 are close at hand, Anthony !
I don't fool with snakes either Anthony 😆😆😆😆👍🏽 I don't blame you!!!😆😆😆😆
Well done installing the running boards Anthony! I'd be like nope ... let me go find my dealership to put these on!
Who else low key likes to hear Anthony swear?? Lol 😂
Yeah my husband and I backed it up to listen again, we cracked up, and said some on line ain't going to like it. I cuss and pretty sure most people now a days do. And I'm 80. My worst word is Oh darn it, that one really shocks them. I'm joking, have said some just like Anthony let loose with. Some things in life just make us cuss.
Hehehehehe
That's a $300 or more job at the dealers, great job!!!
OMG 😱 snakes 🐍 are my biggest fear. No doubt that 🐍was poisonous.
Be careful Anthony. 🙏🏽♥️
Hey Anthony! Thanks for showing us the process. Last week I had the bright idea to replace the windshield wipers on my car. After watching a few diy videos I managed to remove only one of the three. 😂😂 After that I had to call in reinforcement (teenage son). Mission accomplished!
You did a fantastic job putting on the running boards. Looks nice 👍🏽
Chile, with all of these projects Anthony be doing...he will never be bored. 😅 Tfs
Happy Thursday Anthony. You're such a busy man. I admire the way you do your own repairs and additions to your home site. Everything looks great, keep up the good work.
👍🤩💝 Good job. 👏 ⭐️ Glad you decided to do the installation yourself.
💡As viewers can see, it’s so easy to do. I encourage others to try it, plus it saves money. I’m a little petite woman and even I easily installed the running boards / footboards before.
I researched running boards a long time ago as a child because I wanted to know why they are called running boards since you can’t run on them. The origin of the name running board is obscure. The first running boards predate automobiles and were installed on carriages as early as the 17th century, the Age of Discovery, which is considered part of the Modern Age (all that terminology is interesting research too).
The term also applied to the walkways on top of railway / railroad boxcars. Also, in the early 20th century, all automobiles were equipped with running boards. They were necessary because the first cars were designed with a narrow, high body bolted to the chassis and the cars had tall narrow wheels / tires so it was difficult to enter and exit the cars without running boards or step stools. Sometimes, people used to stand, sit or lay on the running boards outside of cars while the car was moving especially if there wasn’t enough room to sit inside of the car. Also, sometimes on long road trips some people even stopped to rest and would lay on the running boards to stretch out and / or take a nap.
Great history lesson. Thanks. 👍🏽

Great video. Please never forget you are in a state that pays for the capture of large snakes. And there are always warnings of staying away from bodies of water for fear of alligators. Be careful. That was a reminder you are not alone at that site.
I will try and remember that. I walk with my head down now lol.
Anthony always have you a stick or a cane
Nice video Anthony and thank goodness you were paying attention when walking back
Please be careful you’re in a state that has a lot of snakes, be mindful where you go and step. Congratulations on doing your running boards on your truck👏🏾👏🏾. May not have been easy but you did it. Enjoy your life, be blessed, happy and stay positive. Love that laugh you have. ❤🙏🏾
Hi Diana.....this is the only campground that I saw a snake multiple times. I have been to 3 campgrounds in FL.
You’ve learned so much since you’ve begun this journey..very pleased for you ❤😊
Hi Gwen. I have. It's good to know how to do things yourself. It is so much more rewarding.
Peace n blessings to you, Anthony. You are on the ball in making your home more comfortable. Please consider getting a pair of safety goggles/glasses for those beautiful brown eyes. ❤
Good job Anthony it good to do something yourself and save money while you on your van life journey
Hopefully the running boards will stay put. The threaded clips are supposed to be installed with the flat side on the outside of the frame and the threaded part on the inside so you get a solid connection to the truck. It'll suck to change it but for safety reasons you should really think about it. Btw if you want to take the clips out a flat screwdriver works but might scratch the paint if you're not careful.
Uh oh 😩
😬💯
That looks nice on your truck Anthony! Be careful and aware of that snake! Have a good day everyone ❤
You go Anthony the DIYer..
saving those coins!
Good Thursday afternoon Anthony, your truck look's 👍 great.
Safety goggles..the step up rails makes the truck looks nice..
Anthony remember to use safety glasses for eye safety
I forgot to put them on. Being 58 is no joke sometimes. You just forget to do things thanks
It don't matter if you have a passenger or not. You might wanna do that right cause it may affect the front part of the Vehicle.
Looks great, Anthony!
Good afternoon Anthony 👋🏽
Hi Anthony! You are truly a mechanic to install those parts,and at the end when you saw that 🐍 snake it scared the heck out of me 😂😂
Hi Anthony 👋 👋 Happy Thursday!! 😊 you are very smart to do it yourself because I know it would be costly if you had a dealership to install it.. Great job!! Have a Blessed evening ✨ ❤😊
Thanks Sudie3068
*Go ‘head, Anthony🎉👏🏽*
Yes!!! I knew you needed running boards, as previously suggested. As a taller person myself (5'6") and drive a larger suv, I really need my running boards. Good job on the self install ❤.
Awesome Job Antony ❤❤❤❤
Hey Anthony!! My husband has the same truck and color. He also installed his own running boards and truck cover. We pull our keystone bullet RV with our Colorado
Anthony u may need too get u some snake away and moth balls too put in your tent bc the snakes will crawl in there and around your trailer also
I call snakes, “Nope Ropes”! LOL 🤣
😂😂😂 nope ropes 😂
I know right Teddybumps
My family in Alabama call snakes no shoulders 😂
That's what we call them in the south 🤣😂 I don't like I call them DEAD LOL
😝🤪😜That install was a workout in itself... You're getting really handy lately😁
Yes indeed lol
Anthony, you teach me to have NO fear 😂❤
A lot of the times Deborah, you just have to try it yourself.
Anthony I’m glad you’re such a handy man these days but. It do I see you struggling!!! It’s great that you want to keep your truck nice and still new with putting bed liners on and such!! If you can afford it, you really should have it done professionally ONLY because if something happens or rust happens to creep in??? They’ll cover it and it looks much better and cleaner at the end!!!! I love the new truck, good job with that!!!! I was concern because you DONT want your truck to rust in places that it doesn’t need to!!!! Love yaLOVE keep on moving!!!!
Anthony you should have safety glasses on
Yes, because trash or other things can be bad❤
Look at you Anthony out here being handy. Saving all them coins. You inspire me... 😊
Sometimes watching you work on something feels like Torture....LOL
Lol 100% but God love him he is saving money
To me too lol lol
Yep now a days if possible you gotta do it yourself. Save them 💰
Hey, Anthony had to catch the replay. The running board looks good.
thanks Rena
Big Kudos on doing this install yourself Anthony! I have always had them installed for me, much respect to you❤
thanks Tracy
Happy Thursday Anthony and FOA squad Everybody's in the chat and have a wonderful Thursday peace and love Anthony and FOA squad Everybody's in the chat ❤❤❤❤❤
Happy Thursday to you as well
PLEASE WEAR SAFETY GLASSES or SHIELD 😊
You as well
Hi Anthony, different seeing you underneath a vehicle and not in one😂. Great job on your diy❣️
Hi Anthony 👋🏽 good Job on your truck 👍🏽
Hay FOA community
Greetings Anthony please look into getting you some snake away, moth balls and pure peppermint oil to put around the outside of your trailer and tent, storage areas. Oh and some cayenne pepper
Will you have to continue to put them down if there's rain for some days.
@@candidconversations7278 in my opinion I think the reinforcement like the moth balls will help on rainy days. But I don't think you will have to because once you do all that and they get a sniff of it they going to tell all their friends to stay away. 😂. We are in sunny south Florida it don't rain too much here except during hurricane season. And April and May.
@igotthechipsdipqueenponder thanks, my neighbor had a snake hanging on the side of their house yesterday. They wanted to shoot it. I'm in Va, and we have a lot of snakes.
@@candidconversations7278 omgee I thought Florida was bad with all the alligators and geckos I would be terrified I dislike snakes with a passion.
@@candidconversations7278 your most welcome. Get you some snake away also. Blessings to you. Be careful out there.
Okay, Anthony..getting it done..awesome!!@
Great job Anthony, no teeth with teeth. This is life with Anthony I Love It👍🏽
GM Anthony & FOA’s
You looking like Dracula’s side kick 😂. It’s okay we love you. I like that you stay busy with these projects and this one was successful. You’re not wearing your safety glasses sir.
I know Robin. I should have had them on too. Thanks, I will the next time.
Hey Ant boo … just watching … your videos are soo relaxing to me and that laugh ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As usual, getting stuff done. 😊
I’m loving learning along with you Anthony. Thanks for being a great friend ❤❤❤
Hey Anthony
Great job Anthony u are becoming A HANDYMAN right before our eyes Those old videos watching u put storage box on back of the van hilarious.
Hehehehehehe JP-is9gh
Anthonyyyyyyyy guess who has their badge back and on automatic payments? Yours truly what’s good King Anthony!
Hi Anthony. Happy Thursday. I hope everything will work out with your install on truck. Have a blessed day. 💕🤗
Great job Anthony!!!!!!
😳 🐍 I don’t like snakes either. It was odd that the snake wasn’t moving…not even a little bit….it was probably just as surprised and as afraid as you were. 😂
They are cold blooded, so he probably was trying to get some sun and warm up. I remember seeing something about them, going into peoples cars and crawling up by the engines to get warm.
@@hazellevesque87 - 👍🤩💝Yes, that’s true.
Keep the grass cut low and make sure there is no clutter..snakes love to hide under things and on the sides to avoid being in the sun.
hi there...they do a good job with the landscaping here.
Looks good
Hello Anthony and FOAs Anthony, don't forget safety goggles or glasses next time. Your eyes are precious!
thank you Msunique. I will the next time.
If Anthony gonna do anything, he's gonna whip up a meal or do a little project! Nice work, Anthony!
Good job anthony!😅
Good job !!!! 👏🏽

Great job Anthony 😊❤
Go Anthony working hard doing it yourself.
I know Jojo....under there sweating like crazy...but I got it done lol. Hru?
@FOASQUAD I'm good. Enjoying Sedona right now, keeping that goal you challenged is with in the beginning oof the year. It's beautiful here. First time on Arizona.
@@jojopowe1150 Yes, I was captivated by the scenery and mountains when I went there last year.
Hi Anthony hope all is well.
You are a jack of all trades! Its something abt a man who work with his hands.❤
Nice. That's proof of another mad skill that you possess. 😊
Hi Shannon....thank...I am trying to learn how to do things on my own lol.
Something fell in his eye and he still didn't put on safety goggles.
You go, Anthony, you doing the damn thing . Congratulations to you . ❤
Thanks Jaycee0208. I am learning as I go. I will soon be the Jack Of All Trades lol.
Snake is just sitting there like “I have nowhere to go, I just want to ruin your day…”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yup
Yesssss. Thank you for sharing and I’ll be gone the long way home as well. Stay blessed.
Hi Dwalker...hope all is well with you.
Wow!!!!! You did well and I'm sure saved yourself alot of money!!! Great job!!
Hey there Mrs. Pleasant.
You always want one in the middle and one on each end for adequate weight distribution when weight applied by whomever entering or exiting truck
Right....hi Earnest
Hope you get the truck bed sprayed or whatever and protect it from the elements because Anthony it’s all about protecting your investment now get it done right like you evidently do✌️👍
@@earnestmartin4305 LOL...I am not going to get it sprayed. I did put a cover on it as well. That will keep it protected from the elements. Hope all is well with you.
@@FOASQUAD as always you find a path🙏🙏👍
Great job ❤️❤️
Be careful outside with weather warming
No telling what you may see. Get snake away and seven dust to put in the yard, mint and moth balls
Take care and be very careful of the critters
So very proud of you Anthony with all of the additions to your home & truck. I love that you find humor in difficult task which pushes you through to the goal. “No Fancy editing here”🤣🤣🤣🤣 Your looking like a real Pro😀Keep up the great work. You inspire me to hire someone 🤣🤣🤣🤣that’s a lot of work✊🏾♥️😂but seems very rewarding…
LOL thanks Sharon. You said that inspire you to hire someone lol
I am so proud of you Anthony I love watching you do your own projects. You are not afraid to take it on. You gooooo!!! Love you Anthony! P.S. I didn't know there was a snake. Haven't got to that part yet. Seen in comments. Whew!!!!
LOL hey Rhonda...thanks
I love that you are so open to learning how to do something yourself instead of just automatically going to pay someone your hard earned money. They look amazing!
on a side note... please please please can you include captions. some of us folks need them lol.
Hi there Verna. I like trying to do stuff myself. You learn things that way. I think all you have to do is click on the caption button at the bottom right hand corner of the video. If I am not mistaken.
@FOASQUAD Hi Anthony.. Thank you so much for replying to me 😊. I did click on the button but it said that captions were not available for this video 😕
@@vernawillson7021 Ok I will see if there is something that I should be doing on my end to make sure the captions are available. So bare with me. thanks.
@FOASQUAD thank you so much Anthony. No rush but thank you for looking into it for me, I really appreciate it.
@@vernawillson7021 No problem Verna. Have a great day.
I really enjoy your content.
Thanks Pearl.
17:11 had me screaming with you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Did Anthony tell WTF? Lmao
Looks nice! ❤❤
thank Rassyno1
Great job doing the install yourself, plus saving money. I can imagine the cost a car shop would've charged.
It's time to put down some snake and rodent repellent. You can bet on seeing more of them in Florida or ANY campgrounds.
Hi Childofgodsfavor. I like little projects. It keeps me busy and I learn how to do things.
Hello Anthony & FOA's, great job Anthony installing your running boards. That snake wants to join the FOA community 🤣Enjoy your weekend and stay safe my brother.🙏.
Hey there Buddy. Hru?
Great job Anthony
Hi Anthony glad you got that project out the way
Have a bless day Anthony❤
I gotta hand it to you Anthony doing all that hard and tedious work considering you're in Florida, I should know since I'm not far from you, I'm in Sebring and it's been really really hot here and for the longest time with hardly any rain if any. You're a trooper dude 🙌
Y'all got snakes out there!!! 🐍 🐍 🐍
It's Florida we got all the animals here n not just in the camps in the city parks and everywhere
They got all kinds of critters out there and those damn geckos drove me crazy😡
Happy Thursday Anthony
Your new man might be using them passenger side running boards..you never know :)
Oops 😂😂😂😂😂
You did good!
thanksSldgrl20downzerotogo11
Ant you becoming a jack of all trades
Hi Brian. It is fun and frustrated to do projects. But I learn how to do things.
@@FOASQUAD Thats awesome and the best way to learn and you saving money..lol
Anthony since you have a truck now you should invest in a 2 ton aluminum Jack a battery-powered impact wrench
Hi Anthony🙂;The running boards you Installed look great 😮; Good Job;That was a tedious job, You got your work out for the day Anthony!🙂; Thank You For Sharing! Great Video 🤗👍; ❤️🫂See You Soon 🙂
