98 Xlt Radio Removal

[storlied]

They require a lot of work to get up and running, a lot of wiring sensors up.
You'll love that V8 though, it's in fact the same block used in the 5.0 Mustangs.
There's a crap load of after market options for your truck. I highly suggest upgrading your tires from the p235 to 31" tires, you'll most likely have no rubbing issues at all, IMO the handling is just amazing with these tires. A lot better than the old smaller ones.

Lets see your truck man, Pictures!!!

Where are you going with this truck? Stock? Street? Off-Road?

 

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

well, at the molment im going no where, after the truck and everything else i have $2 + i have to buy wire for the radio, but no sure yet, but not really going to change the out side because i like the look of it. really im going to change the tires, hook the radio up and hope to god for snow so i can put that awd to good use.

why, any suggestions?

31" tires no matter what you're doing with the truck.. I love em..
Uh, after that.. you'll probably want to lift a little more, the tires give you a 1" lift by themselves... I love feeling higher.. you could lift 1-2" more for very cheap. It wouldn't be overkill. Rear lift shackles = $60 Torsion Twist up front = Free (bolts you twist to lift or lower the front, it's part of your stock suspension) you'll need an alignment though. Uh.. Air intake, the stock air intake setup is extremely restrictive. Better throttle response and better gas mileage. There's a lot to do, I mentioned a few cheap things that could make your ride unique and perform better.
