My 1998 Ford F-150

NEW: Click here to see my subwoofer box installation!

I am the proud owner of a 1998 Ford F-150. I purchased the truck on April 14,1998 from Village Lincoln Mercury Sales in Moose Jaw, SK, Canada. It is a 4X4 with lots of options and accessories. It was my first new vehicle. I am very pleased with it.

Accessories / Other

July 2002 - Installed a Pioneer DEH-P740MP CD/MP3 player. It sounds awesome!

Oct. 2000 - I installed a set of clear cornering lights & euro "altezza" taillights. Check them out here!

June 2000 - I installed the amp I bought last month. It made a HUGE difference in the sound of my stereo. (now I can listen to it at an "acceptable" level. The only problem is that I keep getting headaches from it)

May 2000 - I installed a set of Boston Acoustics RC61 6.5" component speakers. They improved the sound a great deal. I can't wait to the install the amp to give them some extra juice. The amp I have for it is nothing special, but it should get the job done. It is a Boss Audio REV-255.

May 2000 - I just installed a Superchip. It's great for getting more power out of the 4.6L. For more details, click here to go to the Superchips website.

Since purchasing the truck, I've added a Ford brand bug deflector, step sill guards, moulded splash guards, a locking gas cap, moulded running boards, a boxliner, and carpet & rubber "Ford" floor mats. I've also added a B&M Electronic Shift Kit (has since been removed), Cloud Rider stainless steel grille & bumper inserts, a K&N air filter, a Flowmaster 50 series muffler, Ventvisors, a Delta Champion Toolbox, and the Autogard anti-theft marking system (unique number etched into all windows).

Also, I've drilled eight 3/4" holes in the airbox. This didn't make a big difference in power, and I plan on cutting the airbox more open in the future. (Similar to the K&N FIPK design). I have also removed the air intake silencer using the donated instructions that are now hosted on this site.
