If you have an 802a gut the B&O and start over.

Yeah I was kinda looking at possibly getting a better sound but it seems complicated lol. Someone needs to come up with a full audio upgrade kit.

Forscan - where do you get it? I am assuming it’s a useful thing to have?

Front flaps for sure. The tires shoot mud and rocks that can nick the paint in an arc pattern.

Not a mod but maintenance related - check oil and coolant level just to be sure. Keep an eye on the oil level.
Trim or replace the antenna. Unless you plan to keep it outdoors.
Cobb AP is a good mod and a larger FMIC.

It's not complicated at all:
ZEN-A2B / DSP12A-A2B
This is the ONLY current OEM integration for the B&O system specifically in our Raptors.
I've installed it and it's amazing.
From there you simply need to decide what speakers/amp and DSP you want.
I went with high end Focal speakers front and rear...I don't use the center stock channel.
I went with the 900HD JL audio Amp
I had a custom sub box built that goes behind the rear seat and put 2 10" JL Audio thin subs in it
For the DSP I went with a TWK88. You will need this to properly tune the entire system to your liking.
Car Toys did the whole thing. 6-7k out the door with a 4 year warranty on parts and labor or do it yourself.
As far as minimum upgrades day 1 I'd say:
1). Catch can. I don't buy into all the hype and the current Ecoboost is dual injection so buildup isn't an issue.
I mainly installed it as a precaution against any subsequent blow by that WILL occcur. It can't hurt and will only help
by improving octane if nothing else. As the engine wears and you use the turbo you'll catch a little oil.
2). Mud flaps. You will keep so much crap off the side of your truck you'll be amazed. I used
2017-2019 Ford Raptor Logo Gatorback Mud Flaps - Custom Fit Front and Rear from SharpTruck.com.
3). Follow the suggested break-in procedure in the manual.
Other than paint protection/film/coating the Trucks are solid and you should be happy.
All other upgrades are pure preference/performance/practicality based on your individual tastes
