Default My 1998 Ford F150 XLT 4.6L V8 Build Log

Hello Everyone! I have acquired a 1998 ford f150 from my dad. However, it needs some work and I would like to do some modding. Below I have listed some mods I plan on doing. Any suggestions are welcomed!

New 3rd Door (need help finding!)
CB-Radio
New Radio/Speakers
Trailer Brake Controller
Replace XLT grill with sport grill?
Trailer Towing Mirrors
LEDs all around
Amber Becon/lightbar
Jesus Fish
Other assorted stickers/decals

Any suggestions are welcome!

Here is a current pic

As far as stereos go, I can't recommend crutchfield.com enough. Not only do you great equipment at fair prices but they throw in the wiring harness and the dash kit for free. Plus they give you detailed instructions too also for free. If you have loiked ariund at regular stores, they always charge for the dash kits and harnesses and offer no real instructions specific to your truck and yes the instructions include installing the speakers not just the head unit.
