Just an FYI for those that may be contemplating the same. Swapped out the stock Hitachi coilovers from my 2023 base 2 door 2.3 with coilovers from a 2023 Badlands 4 door 2.7. Gained 2" in the front and 1 3/4" on the rear. Sitting dead level at 39" at all 4 corners. Rides great.

Kinda like the look and texture of the plastic bumpers on my base. Easy to clean and won't rust. Don't see spending several thousand to upgrade those but like you I would prefer a metal skid up front. May just buy a takeoff from an upper trim level and cut the slots out for the tow hooks.

Mine is basically a toy as well. I'm at the age where comfort rules appearance/fashion (Not wearing elastic pants YET"). Granted if you can have both it's a bonus.
I've only had mine since March but I've never taken the doors off. Doubt I ever will. Don't really see the point of it. Pretty sure I'll never remove the clamshell either. Haven't had the front top sections off yet either. 2 door windows are large so rolled down is enough open air for me. It's...
Not sure on the legal aspect. My base came with no factory tint on the back glass. I have 20% ceramic on everything except the front. The front is 50%. You can't tell the front is tinted but I don't even wear sunglasses inside the truck and there are no issues seeing out at night. Not cheap at...
