I bought this truck back in February for $1000, the exact truck I was looking for, 5.2 5 speed 4x4 club cab. It had a bad tranny so I replaced it. And went from there.
Most recent pictures of my truck. I just put some old 31x10.50s from my B2 on it since the 30s were about wore out.
I put on an AeroTurbine 3030 muffler and 3" cat along with a side exit.
Aftermarket Gauges so I really know what's going on.
M1 intake manifold and ported throttle body.
Harland SHarp 1.7 Roller rockers
MOPAR valve covers.
I swapped the bench seat for bucket seats and center console.
Escort 8500 radar detector, hardwired.
Uniden BR330T scanner and Nuvi 205 GPS.
A pile of turbo parts I've been gathering.
I've also got a Powertrax No-Slip locker on order, hopefully it'll arrive next week!

Mines a 2002 Dakota sport.
It's a 4.7, 5 speed, 4x4. I bought it last November so I've owned it almost a year now. It was just what I was looking for. I have not had the money to 'mod' it because college likes to soak up every penny you have, but I did just put some 265/70R16 Nitto Terra Grappler A/Ts on it.
Here are some pictures.
Just a nice clean DD...

I voted for Hahns but ya know whats sort of twisted, we baught are trucks around the same time and we both have the exact same birth day even though hes older than me by 4 years
well anyways i will say that Brad's got a nice lookin 2nd gen too,
Stock, what it was in June before I got started on her. The wife wanted a mini van, so the agreement was I could do a "Few" things to the truck.
Starting the body lift
complete lift before the tires
Before the side steps
After the side steps
And this is how it sits this morning with the bull bar and the side steps with my cap removed.
So now it sits on the 3" body lift and Daystar 2" leveling kit and 2" rear blocks. I put the new tires on, Hankook Dynapro MT's in 285/70-17's, so 33" inch tires on the 3rd Gen. I also put on the bull bar and the side steps. For performance upgrades I have done a 3" cat back exhaust, K&N CAI and the Superchips 3865 programmer.
The things to do on the list are HO cams, 4:10 gears and e-fan.
That truck looks sweet sleds. It looks awesome w/out the cap, but you actually use it so I can see why you have it on.
Thanks, bpark. I am very happy with the way it turned out. Even better that the factory wheels even look decent. Your truck is very nice as well. I bought mine back in 06 and just about went 2nd gen at the time, but just liked this truck.
I'm going to put the cap back on for winter, it's very convenient to have dry secure storage for hockey and sledding gear and anything else I'm packing.
DOTM Oct. Vote!
