I ordered the speakers, my amp, and my cables from amazon. I ordered my head unit from crutchfield. I really like crutchfield because they have excellent customer service, but you pay for it. The speakers from amazon were 69.99 a pair at the time, compared to crutchfields 150.00 a pair. I went ahead and ordered the head unit from crutchfield because there wasn't really a price difference and it came with free mounting hardware and wire harness. Only I ordered a wiring harness for a 98 f150 and didn't realize since I have a late 98, they used a 99 radio wiring harness in it.

My all time favorite 97-03 truck. I love the way the wheels look so much that im about to order my own set haha

BlackThundah

haha Thanks! I can honestly tell you, you will not be disappointed with these wheels. I kind of debated keeping the fx4 wheels at first, but every time I get in my truck, I smile knowing I made the right decision getting the eagles. They are gonna look sick on your truck.

The truck looks really good!!! I love the wheel an tire combo too. Question on ur paint work you did on the bed rails, back window, wipers etc. What paint did you go with? Gloss black, semi, or a satin black. I've been wanting to do this but didn't know which one i should go with. After seeing yours, I like the shade you went with. So if you don't mind me asking which one you went with? Is love to know.

Sorry for the late response, I used flat black rust-oleum. It turned out nice, but its been about 8 months since I did it and some of it has rubbed off. There are no signs of wear on the back window surround, wiper cowls and blades. The bed rails and tail gate handle have been chipped a little though from use. You might try using some of that 3m paint made for bumper pads on the rails and tailgate handle. Something that is made to handle use. Is not bad enough where it looks tacky, but there are some little scrapes here and there. If you got any more questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks for letting me know. I definitely like how ur truck turned out. I think, I'm gonna remove the side moldings to. It looks a lot cleaner that way. I've done my tail lights in but paint. Just tinted it yesterday an put flowmaster 40 servers an cut the rear converotors off. I'm going to lift it this coming week. Also did the gotts mod as well. Then paint the grill, valance, wiper cowl,wipers,rear window molding an bed rails. I also got the 2012 tailgate emblems an I'm gonna use them instead of the 03 emblems. I also tinted the oval Ford emblem to. They came out really well. Thanks again!
