Zirbs, thats only the 2nd time I have seen those rims. Just saw a truck like yours getting pulled on the trailer the other day.
dobaroy, I like your side steps. I have the same ones but they are not painted. I have had tons of offers for them

Where did you get the light bar.? How is it mounted? Very nice truck!!

Hi Moparkid, I got the light bar off of eBay. It's made of aluminum so it's really light (no pun intended), and I honestly wouldn't recommend the bar itself. The metal isn't thick enough to tighten the bolts to a point where you can't adjust the angle it sits at with your hands. It's design is clever though; it uses hooks and clamps into the rain gutters above the doors. I do approve of the lamps though. They're generic unbranded chrome lamps and I switched the original 130W bulbs out for some 150W ones. I don personally have a need for something like KC or hella, and these work great. My Dakota had a hole in the roof already for the car phone antenna so I removed that and ran the wiring through that, and to a switch panel on the knee board under my steering wheel that was originally for the Express package's fog lights. I can find the eBay shops I used if you're interested.

Nice truck. We have an 89 sport, seems from the pic you have the dakota badge on the fenders and a 4x4 emblem. Our Dak emblem is on the hood and the 4x4 is painted on, I like them on the fender more really good location.

Thanks 89newbie, I do like the badges on the fenders. I have the Dakota badge missing on the passenger side still, it was loose so I took it off and put it inside so as not to have it fall off while driving. They're very thick badges, you have one on the hood? I've always wanted a ram head on my hood like my dad's truck (he has a Ram 1500).
Hi dobaroy, thanks for the compliment, and the interest in helping. I just added pictures of the original window stickers for the truck to my garage album. I've taken a video and uploaded it to youtube, in an attempt to get help. My truck seems to idle just fine, but it eventually starts smoking. It smells like possibly oil? And if I give it gas, it starts clanking very loudly. I'm worried because the engine does have high miles (210k plus)
edit: sorry I removed the link, I know some sites don't like youtube links. If you search my youtube account PushAmerican it's the only video I have. Sorry everybody I'm still really new to this.
Sorry for the quality I only have an iPod touch to take video and pictures with.
