Question Starting my build thread could use some help

1988 F-150 XLT Lariat 4x4

Currently have 9 inch suspension and 2 inch body with new hurst clutch new u joints. New paint job 3 months ago and put rubber rostoleum coating from auto zone on the bottom 3" of the sides and inside the tire well to keep the tires from throwin up rocks and puttin dings on the paint! have 35" goodyear wranglers and deep creek rims. New chrome daimond plated toolbox with daimond plated plates over the truck bed. Tinted the windows and put mossy oak seat cover and floor mats, 7" touchscreen cd/dvd player hooked up to back up camera, have a cb i was gonna make a mount for and decided to just stick it in the glove box and hooked it to a bearcat pa system! Now is where i need the help, im tryna figure out what other truck/suv brush guards will fit the truck??lookin at one of the chrome bars that mount on the bed and stick over the top of cab i think it called a roll bar, but dont know what to do about having the tool box blockin the place where it hooks in on the bed??? also wanting to put in a new dash and door panels and now lookin to put a coat of something for the truck bed but cant decide wether to go with rustoleum rubber coating or herculiner?? any suggestions.. i also just bought amber tear drop cab lights to go on top but thinkin its gonna be a to hook up, so if anyone knows of a good video or post on the forum to help it would be well apreciated!! if anyone has any other suggestions that they have done to theres or could explain doing let me hear!! thinkin about doin a mag light hookup inside but dont know where to get the mount so im guessin i have to do it myself! got some pics of the outside and will take some pics of the inside tm morn!

Rubber under coating in the bed would be worthless.

Painted my black bumper, just sanded it down a little and did 2 cans of duplicolor truck bedliner! Came out looking great! Reason i painted it with that is because its the same thing i painted my front one with so needed it to match
