Since generally you'll never get out of aftermarket accessories what you've got into them, I would say that's a little high. After reading everything and before I got to your estimate, I was telling myself $4000. I bought this same vehicle, with less miles, and none of your upgrades, for less than half what you were thinking. I have always heard you really don't add any worth to a vehicle with aftermarket parts unless you find someone who wants exactly what you have. That's the drawback to customizing your ride, it never pays off, except for the joy it brings you while you have it. With that being said, I have never left a vehicle stock knowing this.

If you do, post them up on here. Since my wife has a '98 I may be interested in some of it.

I think your being overly optimistic. Most people looking for a rig like you built probably aren't looking for an Expedition and the miles are certainly going to be a turn off. If you found the right buyer, like a young kid with money to burn then I'd say maybe 4k but the markets flooded with gen 1's between 2-3k with a lot less miles. I paid 2100 for mine in excellent condition with 110k miles just to give you an idea.
