Are electric side steps expensive? I think they look pretty good on the Raptor. Also, are they strong enough to act as a rock slider when they're in the up position?
Only one company I know of claims to be able to use them as rock sliders.

If you don’t care about rock slides, GoRhino’s dual motor steps are less than $2000 if you install them yourself.

Window tinting. Dark is as legal because it's hotter than satan's ass crack here. That's probably it though.

oh ya eventual hard top tonneau cover

I'm a firm believer in ceramic tint. It's well worth the money. It blocks way more heat and it doesn't even have to be dark because it's actually blocking UV.

On this note, windshields, because they are laminated, already block most UV. I think I saw somewhere most modern windshields block 95-98% of UVA. Side windows though block less UVA because they are just tempered. Both block UVB well.

So you could improve it with a coating, but it helps much more on the sides than the windshield.

How easy is it to remove that Raptor decal? That's probably the first thing I will do. Haha. Probably would come off easy with a heat gun I imagine?
Decals come off very easily after 30 seconds with the heat gun

Have applied 3M PPF in several places so far--still need to do the front edge of the hood. Mods? Probably no mods, but adding accessories yes. First priority over the winter is getting a skid plate or two. Still trying to figure out tie-down solutions for the bed in light of not having bed bolts for cargo rings.
