Use the search on the site, many good installs have been done.

to install a modern radio (AKA anything with a disc player) you will have to do some cutting, but in reality it's really easy. Crutchfield will have everything you need.

I just did my M1009 yesterday. Got the factory dash speakers with brackets and antenna from a junk yard for about $10. Not a hard install, just time consuming as you'll have to run all the wires yourself since there is no radio wire harness to tap into. You'll have to use a jig saw to cut the dash for the stereo unless you go with an old school 2 knob radio that the dash is already set up for. I found some nice self enclosed JBL speakers from a ford explorer for the back.
