Change the fuel filter and spark plugs. The plugs can be a pain in the *** to get out. Check the alternator, lots of people reporting they go bad (mine is), so buy an aftermarket one and not just a remanufactured one from Ford. There's one other thing where some drain plugs get filled with debris, but I'm not familiar with it so use the search function to find out more. Congratulations and enjoy the heck out of it!

Biggest issue is you will need to get a second job to pay for all the modding ...

Yeah the modding is addicting, and I'm addict! LOL..... Do lots of research before you buy anything, this will save you cash over the long haul. Congrats and post some pics.
