It really depends on what you plan on doing with it. My personal opinion is that no one would buy an off-road vehicle for $80k to $120k to do serious off roading where the vehicle is always in jeopardy.

The vehicle is probably good as it is if you don’t mind scratches and dings.

To go camping with your sons, you’re good to go out of the box and then some. Use it and then decide what you need. I off-road camp and a tail gate table was very helpful.

In General:

Windshield Protection Film - vertical windshields take a beating and crack easier
Tint Front Door Windows to match

For Bronco Raptor Specifically:

Upgrade to 39s and lift collars (see pics)

I'm gonna need that secondary connection set of directions for an AUX Switch. Just added them last weekend, and was wondering how to make it work like a switchable dome light.
Let me know if you find out how to do this! I'm hopefully installing mine this weekend but would like to add a switch somewhere at some point to have that option as well (I don't have the aux switches so will need to add somewhere).

Got a link for these cargo lights?
KC Cyclone lights off Amazon. Wired the aux switch line that runs to the back to a rocker switch and connected that direct to the battery in the engine compartment. Mount was just a little piece of metal with two holes from a u bolt I bent.

I love the KC Cyclone lights. Have them as foot well and rock lights.
