Updated OP with my latest plans. Updated teaser pics with some shots of my cooler and magnetic mic hangup. Got some great help and a nice discount from bison coolers. I really like that it's made in the USA, the increased capacity compared to yeti, the dual drains, and the latches are much better than yeti. Only comparing it to yeti since that's what I've used previously and they're pretty much the standard.
The mic hangup seems like it will be perfect if it can hold up in the desert. I like that location because it's easy to get to if I'm driving, the wire doesn't get in the way, and it's pretty stealthy when I'm not running the mic. The mount is supposed to require drilling but I used some scotch mounting tape instead, since I didn't want to drill into my dash.
The intercooler is going in on Monday. The dealer said he couldn't get a black one so he is going to paint it for me. Other parts should start rolling in next week. Aiming to have everything ready for a run in a few weeks.

Got a lot of parts in. The rest should be coming in by next week and then everything will start going on. SDHQ got eibach springs in so I'll be putting those on instead of a preload collar. The intercooler is on and the bov is kinda neat.
With the intercooler it feels slightly more lively and behaves a little differently but I don't think it makes any more power like some others have said. When I can try it out a little more maybe I can describe it better with some more detail.

Thanks. Using the truck for what it's for is a blast. I just don't get paying extra for a raptor and spending even more money to diminish it's capability.
