Newbie check in with tentative plans

Thanks for the reco . . . I just bought the passenger side one so I can still use the light button in the bed. This will come in handy for sure.

Mine is on the driver's side and that is a drawback. Passenger is probably the right call. I keep a bunch of tools, an extension cord, all my towing stuff, ratchet straps, and bungees in there, along with some smaller odds and ends like road flares. So much better than having a bunch of junk rattling around the bed or taking up cabin space.

I also got the BuiltRight bed rack with a Rotopax mount to store some emergency gas affixed to the bed side. https://www.builtrightind.com/products/builtright-industries-mbrs-fseries-large-panel. I'm might be interested in some of their stuff.

Agree on the clutter. I have the rotopax on my RZR . . . nice to have for sure.

Don't cheap out on the lights! I did and was very disappointed with them. Lucky I was able to trade up to Rigid and got all my $$$ back in trade up to Rigid . Absolutely no comparison. Rigid are more than double the brightness!

Hello, my name is Joe. Just bought a 2019 raptor, which is not only my first raptor but also my first truck! Needless to say, learning as much as I can but a little overwhelmed at times. Realizing I need to take baby steps before attempting big ones.
right now, my plan is to:
1) line-x premium bedliner and truck gear retractable bed cover
2) rough country fog lights, prob will pay dealer to install them (I have close to 0% experience with electrical/wiring work)
3) undercover swing case(s). My understanding is there are some questions related to durability, but I don’t plan on hardcore off-roading any time soon
4) mid perch mod vs RGB leveling kit (i may attempt this myself after ample learning/preparation)

open to criticism, and thanks! Glad to be here

Welcome to the Family! A few thoughts come to mind:

#2- I have the following being installed next week Monday because I’m electronically challenged:

Two of the 3” Wide Angle OSRAM LED’s and one Black Series in each opening.
OSRAM’S: https://www.roughcountry.com/3-inch-led-wide-angle-lights-70904.html
Black Series: https://www.roughcountry.com/2-inch-led-square-lights-70903blkdrl.html​

#3- I have one Swing Out Case on the passenger side I got with my Ford Pass Points. I like it so far.

I’m sure there are other ways we can all help you spend your money, but that’s my two cents.

Thanks for the tips guys, ended up going with ArmorThane liner and a LoMax cover, loving it. Next items on the list will be a passenger side Swingout and a 2" front lift once I can fit them in the budget
