Seat raisers. Before I could barely do an hour of driving without a stretch. After buying the Desert Does It spacers I did a 8+ hour stretch with no stops.

Yeah, I hate how cranking up the seat height throws it forward at the same time.

Gun magnets behind the B pillar plastic to keep the seatbelts from knocking in the wind.

Forscan and the community behind it. All free to boot. You do need a $60 ODB2 Adapter, but worth it.

• Start/Stop cruise control enabled - life changer but limited to High/Lux
• Auto hold enabled - holds the brake if you remove the foot off the pedal
• A.S.S. disabled
• Double honk disabled
• Fake engine noise disabled
• Seatbelt, lights on, start up chimes disabled

I haven't been able to lower the volume of the turn signal clicks, though.

Apart from that, a rubber strip to get rid of the "water bottle noise" from the rear gate.

This moved chimes and turn signal sound to instrument panel from front speakers. Turn signal sounds like a normal vehicle now. Sorry for screen shots … not very technical

30lbs. rated GMW magnets off Amazon. Part number GMW018. Took about 5 mins to install behind the plastic trim.

This might apply to just the 2 door tops but this hack cut out most all of my wind noise.

After seeing this l shoved in some extra weather stripping l had lying around into that gap and it made a noticeable difference for sure.

I haven't found an ASE technician or Ford dealership in western WA that'll do the tune

If you live in the Seattle/Eastside area, try RAD Custom Rides, www.radcustomrides.com in Issaquah. They are contracted through Ford. They do all of the aftermarket and Ford Accessories installs for Evergreen Ford in Issaquah. Great customer service and they won't give you the blank stare that you get at a regular dealer. Just had them install my keyless entry pad that I purchased through ford accessories.
