I’m interested in seeing what everyone will do to their lightnings. Lightning Raptor builds? Lightning ST? What are you going to do to your Lightning?

Considering some kind of the vinyl graphics to make it stand out more, but no idea what to do.

Soooo stock with the A/S tires or Stock with the A/T tires? I’m sure it’s “designed” to do a lot and has multiple uses.
Probably AT cause the AS tires on my SUV suck for going anywhere on my small farm when it has rained.
I tow a livestock or utility trailer on occasion. Have a camper that I take out a few times a year. Haul hay and feed.

Solar PV Tonneau panel on the bed for when the solar powered camper is not there.

Hard tunneau cover for sure. I currently have a Bakflip style cover on my Colorado and love it.
Hoping the hard cover I have on my 2016 will fit. Not sure how much the bed changed for the 21 model year though.

I’m looking to put on 17” RTR wheels w/ 31-33” KO2’s. I know I’ll be sacrificing a little range but I’ll mostly be topped off everyday. Not the fastest lighting on the block but like the versatility I’ll have.

Swapping out the lightning decals with the 2nd Gen ICE lightning decal. Also adding a Carolina Squat lift kit.

Only kidding about one of those.

I’m setting mine up for overlanding. I’ve got an iKamper RTT. So I’ll be adding a half height roof rack or a Diamondback tonneau cover to mount the RTT to. I’ll definitely be fitting AT tires. I’m hoping I can get a lift or leveling kit to the point that I can fit 33s or 35s but I’ll be looking very critically at that before I do anything.

I’m very curious to see what mods come out that take advantage of the Frunk. Obviously there will be all sorts of organizers but with so much room I think you could see camp kitchens and other camping accessories.

I think the most obvious mod is a frunkerator for drinks, game meat, fish and other perishables.

I’m getting a Pro, painting the bumpers, door handles and mirror caps. Then adding power running boards as soon as I can confirm they will fit.
