New to me 2006 XLT questions

I'm normally posting in the OBS truck forums because of my truck. I recently picked up a 2006 Explorer XLT 4X4 with 4.0 to replace a Jeep that FCA is buying back due to the Lemon Law. This vehicle only has 57K miles on the clock, one owner (my mother), and well cared for. She gave me all of the service records dating back to the day she bought it. Other than a dent and small warpage of the tailgate where she backed into something with the gate open, it's in perfect shape. The gate being warped a bit doesn't affect it sealing, so there's no wind noise from back there. I'll eventually replace the gate and get it sprayed and faded in.

I have a laundry list of things I want to change, mainly cosmetics, because this thing has a feminin appearance. I need to add a dose of testosterone to make it mine. LOL

I'll likely find a set of Soft 8 rims with a better backspace to push the tires out a little, add running boards or nerf bars, half bull bar, debadge and lose the chrome. It has the luggage rack crossbars, so I'll not need to locate those...but I want to add a roof top basket with a few LED pods, and replace all lighting with LED.

First things first, though...I need to replace the stereo with a double din with bluetooth. I stream all my music, and have for awhile. Replacing this stereo is a must for me.

What stereo are you guys replacing yours with, and what size are the speakers? It's a basick single disc mp3 stereo...nothing special.
