This is the future of pickup enthusiasts. : )

Really like the look of that ARB fridge-freezer.*

True that about SEMA. Usually lots to see and most of it is a "WTF are they trying to show us?" sort of display. Interesting products are often lost in all the craziness. It's like this truck... As a whole it's a Frankenstein nightmare. But the brake system and those seats, while I would never consider them for the Lightning, would definitely be worth a look to me if I were doing a new Raptor build to take to KOH... I would like to see some good options for aftermarket brakes to put on the Lightning. We all know the brakes are a bit undersized for the truck and I do a lot of mountain driving, often pulling a trailer. Regen braking will definitely help for some control and I keep well maintained brakes on my trailers. Still would consider an upgrade here.

Black seats, black wheels, and black roof box, and this thing looks a million times better. It's incoherent the way it is.
Also, I kinda DO want to take a Lightning to an Auto-X and see how it does. Sure, it won't handle great, but the acceleration and AWD traction out of corners could make this surprisingly quick in the right hands. Would be funny to beat some sporty cars.

I like the ride height....hoping to get there without an air suspension. Looking at you Eibach...
Are they going for the look of racing? camping? off-roading? To each their own, but this looks like a rolling accessories store.

The truck is ummmm... unique, I'll give it that. But the adjustable height suspension is giving me ideas for fitting my truck in my not quite tall enough garage. Plus I would bet lowering a bit on the highway would help with range. Hmmmm....

Has anyone seen actual details on the parts used?
I'd like to know the Thule parts they used, especially the bed rack, as both Yakima and Thule's websites say their systems don't work with the Lightning. That's probably not true since the Lightning supposedly is interchangeable with the gas versions, but I'd like to see the actual parts used here, anyway.

Thanks! That's by far the best list I've seen. It's still somewhat vague since it says "Thule Bed Crossbars" without model or part numbers or whatever, but I'll try to get that from Thule directly.
