Just received my Raptor within the last week. It has been amazing so far. I put it through some minor offroading, highway, and city driving. The one thing I noticed right away was the PSI on the tires was set to over 50!? I just backed this down to around 38 PSI and the ride is much better.

Update 07/31/18

With just over 2,000 miles on the truck, I have added a few things and am loving it.

Wrapped
The biggest change is my Raptor is now fully wrapped. This was done by Summit Auto Lab in Park City. They did an awesome job and I would highly recommend them for any protective wrapping or color change.


Radar
Because my car is now bright blue and sticks out, I thought it would be a good idea to get a radar. I spent some time researching and finally ended up purchasing the Uniden R3. It has good controls and free updates, unlike other brands. Additionally, it outperformed several other more expensive radars. Lastly, I hardwired this into an upfitter switch so I have full control of when it is on and off. I used the path through wires and the wire bundle near the interior fuse box.

A Pillar Lights
Next, I needed some more light output. I live in deer, moose, and elk territory so I want to be able to see them at night. I went with a pair of Rigid Industries D-SS Pro Spot on my A-Pillars. These lights are not only bright in the center but have almost 180-degree coverage with side LED lights. The side LED lights just nice on the trails, but when I am driving on country roads it helps spot animals before they jump in from of the car.

Here is what I used:
Waterproof Connectors
Rigid Industries D-SS Pro Spot
Rigid Industries A-Pillar Brackets

Lastly, the install went somewhat smooth, but Ford never makes it as easy as it should be with documentation. 1) My hot AUX wires and passthrough wires were in the opposite locations. 2) The fuse and wire colors didn't match. 3) A little extra length on the wires would have been nice. Other than that, the install A-Pillar Pillar Brackets was simple and the wiring was easy with the included harness.

5,800 miles.

Wheels
New Vorsteiner Venom Rex VR-602 Coal Black wheels installed. Purchased these directly from Apollo Optics. Quick shipping and great customer service over there! These wheels definitely start to make the truck come together. I didn't want to go to the 20s as I still want the same comfort and off-road ability.

Next, I will be choosing and installing a fog light kit before the winter comes into full effect.
