I installed the @RTR Vehicles Project X HP.70 spots on the bumper and am really happy with them. Also got the @4x4TruckLEDs.com KR Offroad Diode Dynamics triple fog kit and Baja Designs LP4 A-pillar lights sitting in the shop, but haven't had time to install them yet.

Also used several Baja Designs lights on our 2-door and can tell you that all 3 brands are solid options. The Baja LP4's and LP6's have amber backlights, but they're barely visible in the bright sunlight.

Been thinking about project X lights. After using project X /baja which one would you buy again?

I’m perfectly happy with both, but if I bought them again, I’d buy the Baja’s.

Hello! This is my first post here. Take it easy on me. The last time I joined a forum was well over 10 years ago.

My wife and I have a Raptor that will be coming out from production in a few days. We know we still have a few more weeks of waiting, and have started making a few upgrade buys.

Thus far we've ordered
  • Midland MXT575 + Ghost Antenna + Speaker+ Extra cables and such for clean hidden install
  • Thor's Lightning Ultimate Dual Air Compressor Setup
  • TrailRax Modular Roof Rack with 40" light cut out and Pak Rax
  • Rough Country Storage Box
What we're looking at
  • Nitto Tires - Keeping 37" for the first few years. Then will upgrade to 40".
  • ProCal for Raptor - I guess whenever it comes out.
Outside of what's listed above we would love some suggestions on the following.
  • Winch Front Bumper Options
  • Lights - We know a few good brands, but have no clue who we should go with.
  • Other Performance Upgrades - Anything cool performance wise that you can think of around the engine, breaks, wheels, and suspension.

Thank you in advance for your input. Cheers! 🍻
Hope it actually comes out of production. Many from 2/13 build week are still showing as In Production status. Wish I could advise on upgrades but mine is in that held up group

@monsterfd I love your onboard air setup! It's so clean. How do you like the slide out tailgate? We've been looking at maybe getting the Goose Gear tailgate table. Don't think we can rock the slide out with our Rough Country box.

I love the tailgate. I have a goose table on order too, you can run both. Having a tailgate you can sit on always available has come in clutch man times for us already. Before the tailgate I have to unload and setup camping gear on the floor, now we always use the tailgate, saves the back. Also when you’re rear cargo is full I unload a portion to the table to access the lower layers

theyre DV8 panels. I was going to go that route as well. The dv8 panels have bolt holes in them between apple the molle holes, you could mount the arb that way with these panels.

I run 4x4 Truck LEDs ditch pro series with backlight and Project X for lights. I also bought yellow covers for the ditch and OEM inner bumper fogs.

Is that the 30in or 40in M&R light bar?

For lights - on my Braptor I'm doing a set of KC Hilites Flex Era 4s on the A-Pillar/Cowl with a set of Bad Ass Mounts. a 50" Gravity Pro 6 LED across the windshield, a set of Cyclone v2 for Rocklights.

Glad to see the tailgate fits - I couldn't get a straight answer from Ford Performance and ordered it anyway (still waiting on my Braptor). Heard that the AGS Airgate bracket had to be modified for Braptor also - any insight on that ?
