Oh well, if we're talking mods. I've got rock lights and a set of light pods sitting in the garage that will get installed as soon as I get home from Iowa. I'll be putting in on-board air, though which system will depend on where it will fit/if there are aftermarket brackets available.

I HATE Fords winch solution so I'll be looking at an aftermarket aluminum bumper that will accomodate a winch without ruining my 360° camera. That will likely come with fog light spots AND a good place to put the license plate ??. The crap rock rails will get pulled off for proper ones and I'll be looking for a good set of aluminum skid plates or a belly pan.

That's immediately. Eventually the rear bumper will get replaced too. I'm thinking about figuring out how to DIY the removable rear corner windows in the MIC hardtop. That's the primary thing I'll miss about the modular. Looking to the aftermarket to figure out how to irk a little bit better weight rating out of the roof so I can throw a normal RTT up there when I want to.
Agree with all the aluminum. I am looking to cut weight everywhere I can and swapping the armor is a start. I forgot on-board air. I'll probably get a single since I won't have bead locks and will air down to 20ish lbs. You got awesome build plans. I hope you post your build on here someday.

I think the answer for most is to use it towards whatever parts Ford claims will delay your delivery since they can’t get it in time, thus you skip out on it for initial delivery. Roof rack comes to mind.

Leaning towards one of these two builds:

BUILD 1:
Base 2-door with 2.3L and manual trans w/
Rapid Red
Roof Rails
Switches
(add my own 33" tires later)

BUILD 2:
Base 2-door Sasquatch with 2.7L and auto trans
Rapid Red
Roof Rails
Switches

Build 1 is really more my style. Not a big spender on vehicles. Have off-roaded for decades in Jeeps having 31 to 33 inch tires and some open diffs no problem. And over the years manual transmissions have been much kinder to me than automatics - in terms of not having issues.

Build 2 would be if I determine the 2.3L is not sufficient, or if reviews indicate issues with the manual trans (since as of now it's brand new and a wild card). In that case if losing the manual trans, I would go 2.7L and then might as well spring for Sasquatch.

No offense, but I have to ask... why a block heater? In Georgia/Alabama?
Because it's $100. It'll be a selling point if you ever sell the truck to someone in the great white north. Also you never know where you may end up in the future.

Damn dude, that's my EXACT build! Nice! I was debating black or carbonized, but the Stig pics from the factory today confirmed my original Carbonized Gray choice. I'm debating whether or not to just add the towing myself and save $500 since it appears to be as easy as the wrangler to add, but I don't want to wait too long for the aftermarket stuff to come out.
