So we'll start off with where it started:March 31st, 2023I went down to Milan, MI to check this Gen 1 out. Listed for $23,200, with 152,000 miles. It already had the SVC Frame cut front and rear bumpers, paint matched fenders, HID headlight conversion, a 40" Rigid light bar mounted behind the grille, with 6 Rigid D-Series pod lights in the SVC bumper. It also came with Eibach springs, with 17" ProAm RM2 beadlock wheels wrapped with 37x12.50r17 BFG KO2s, and one spare wheel. The truck already had the fuel pump fuse switched, along with a folder full of the entire service history of the truck. I was 19 when I purchased my truck[ATTACH=full]486821[/ATTACH]April 1st, 2023The day after I got the truck, we took it to Silver Lake Sand Dunes on opening day, it was great, but definitely didn't push the truck at all during my first trip in the new rig[ATTACH=full]486822[/ATTACH]I bought the truck knowing it needed the blend door actuator replaced, and one HID bulb replaced, both of which the previous owner gave me. So the blend door actuator, was in fact, the first thing I did to my new Gen 1. It was a bit more involved than I had anticipated, but it helped me familiarize myself with the truck, where I later installed an aftermarket radio.[ATTACH=full]486823[/ATTACH]Then I ran into the typical Gen 1 electrical issues. The headlights would keep going out, and the truck wouldn't start so I took it to a local shop, they ended up replacing the wiring harness, and also threw in two new HID bulbs. This resolved all of my issues.[ATTACH=full]486824[/ATTACH]Thus far, I had no plans, or even knew of anything that was possible with the Raptor platform, regarding any sort of upgrades. If only I knew the inevitable want of more was to come, I may have steered clear of this beast (that's all a lie, I love it and it feels good setting goals for my truck and finances and being able to hit them) (plus I have got to ride in a couple of prerunners, and that's the answer)</blockquote>
