GEN 2 “Must do Mods”?

[Mjboom]

Moving from a 2016 Lariat to taking delivery of a 2019 SCREW in a couple of weeks. Looking to you experienced experts for suggestions on any “must do modifications” for my Raptor. Not a heavy off roader but do drive in heavy snow conditions in our nearby mountains occasionally.

The truck is incredibly capable at stock. And "must do mods" are also very subjective, but here's what I've done:

- Stubby antenna
- Husky mud flaps (front only)
- Hood decals
- Door decals
- Ceramic coating

I plan to eventually do:

- MPT tune
- Fog lights
- Dash cam

-front collars/rear deavers
-tune
-bov mod
-wheels
-tint

I disagree on the collars/deavers with the 19 shocks. I was going to do that but the suspension works well stock. For clearance I changed front bumper and rear bumper. Front brake upgrade is well worth it. Full tint is also a good idea.

Leveling kit suggest RPG collars

Baja designs fog lights with Ford Raptor Light mounts

Suggest reaching out to Nick at Apollo Optics. He has competitive pricing and great customer service. He helped me prioritize my modifications based on my needs.

Me most of mods:

Tint
Tonneau Cover
Mud Flaps
Dash Cam (front and rear)
Baja Designs fog/off road lights
Baja Designs reverse lights
Wrap
Bed Extender I
Winch

I also have a variety of other recovery gear in the bed. Max Trax, shovel, tow strap, Snatch strap, snatch block and a few shackles.

In terms of the ones I think have been the most beneficial so far, it would be the tints and Tonneau cover.

Edit: forgot to add, the bed extender folded inward to make for a dedicated cargo area at the rear where things won’t slide all the way forward has also been invaluable.
