Default New Upgrades - '08 Dakota SLT

Well I recently had the custom cat back exhaust system put on, and it looks and sounds great... and mean. That isn't enough for me so I put in some orders for some more mods and upgrades. Tomorrow I am having my Loredo tonneau cover put on, and on Wednesday I am getting the Bridgestone Dueler Revo 265/70 16 tires that I bought put on. Later this week my order from AutoAnything should be coming in with a K&N 63 series cold air intake system, T-Rex billet grille and the in-channel vent visors.

I will post pictures of each upgrade as it happens. I'm pretty pumped... the tires look good even in the bed of the truck!

Pics to come!

Nice man, you will like the way the engine will sound after the intake, so be prepared for a temp drop in MPGs

That's funny because before the exhaust I was avg about 13mpg in town.... then after the exhaust it dropped to 12.2 for a couple weeks... I'm getting back up there again. Back to driving Ms. Daisy!

I went to find a 180 thermostat... nobody seems to claim to have one. O'Reilly said they don't carry them yet. Any ideas?

Here's a pic of my new tires. Just a back shot, didn't get any full body pics yet. They ride great so far, and seem to have much better traction than the Wranglers.



Tonneau cover, grille and cold air coming tomorrow.

I had the REVO's on my '06 Dakota and they were phenomenal.

I just put a set of Revo;s on my truck also. I've put maybe 10,000 k on them and love them so far!
