What tint and percent did you go with? Mine is too light so going to have it redone.
Sorry for the delayed response… so i did ceramic all around… 13% on the front two, 5% on the eyebrow strip on the windshield. 35% on the rear and back two. 70% on the moon roof… which is like no tint… just to get the ceramic heat rejection. If i don’t want to see out of the moon roof, i simply close the screen. It’s a really good match and that is even tested with the meter… it repeatedly tested less than 1% to <2% between front to rear. Much darker than my 2019… mirrors become pretty useless backing up at night… fine with car lights behind you. Would not want it any darker when pulling into oncoming traffic on a dark road at night… you are counting on street lights or head lights for sure.

Now that I am posting in the right section hahaView attachment 453594

Just picked it up a few days ago. New to me, but already did
-Window tint all around plus windshield
-Ronin 4" antenna
-RokBlokz mud flaps
-Kill Switch install
-J&L Catch Can
-Agency 6 tow hitch
-ZL1 Red tow hooks
-Hardwire Passport Radar Dect w/Blendmount

Still can't make up my mind on what suspension mods I want to do, but Eibach and RPG are up there
What product did you use for a kill switch? And you installed it?

I had my audio guy place a small switch in front cabin area a place hard to find and no one would ever know to look there. The switch is a relay bypass module that toggles on/off my factory starter relay. So switched off everything will act normal until you try to start it and nothing will happen. You HAVE to have the switched flipped on for it to start. I know it is over the top and yes, I know if they really want it they can tow it, but I will make them work for this shit! At least some piece of mind for me.

haha The Raptor R ones. I honestly might paint them white because I am thinking of doing the FORD grille vinyl in white outline
I looked into those tow hooks but didn’t like they are red instead of CO, and I think the 24 802a and R tow hooks that come with the modular number are really nice. Squared off and beefier. So I order some Kuston Canz and will be painting them Code Orange.

Joined the family the other day, traded in my '22 Wrangler 392. First mod was to swap out the tires for Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs. Much prefer these tires over the KO2s.

How was the 392? It intrigues me.

Loved it, definitely hilarious seeing the look on folks faces when they try to pass you and can't. That being said its a night and day difference coming to the Raptor in comfort, amenities, and driveability. I've owned several wranglers (TJ, JK, & JL) and the 392 was definitely the best of them, but at the end of the day it's still a wrangler. I'd recommend taking a long weekend in a rental JL (doesn't need to be a 392) to get a feel of how it feels if you haven't driven one before.

After I did a legit purchase from FRF before getting scammed. From some people on this form.
I finally purchased the FRS 3.0 live valves shocks from @FordPerf Addict with his support and clarification I got the shocks installed.
And thanks to @Nick@Apollo-Optics for the fast shipping of my 1.5 Ebiach rear springs.
After test driving the truck on the streets it felt superior to the stock setup, it’s more planted and plush . I test drove it for a couple of minutes on a very tight track with small of short whoops. I noticed the rebound was way faster and it bucks or feels like bucking on the rebound. But I did hit a jump with a right take off and landing and it felt way better than stock.
I’ll have to hit the dunes couple of times to get used to the new setup.
The way the truck sits now is amazing and I like it.
