I was thinking about tinting mine but don't like the idea of it being darker at night. My buddie used some black paint mixed with clear coat to do his. You should get rid of your corner running lights all together with make some custom fenders without them.

And I'm pretty sure he's talking about Magrath & surrounding area. haha.
And case in point....my buddy drives a 2007(?) Dakota, and he's not a member here.

Oh, and here....the old girl, Sheila, loaded (over-loaded IMO) with concrete.

Default 87 Dakota Longbed

Here's a couple of pics of my 87 Dakota Longbed. I can't find any of my before pics. though. It doesn't look anywhere near perfect but it is good for a 20 footer I still need to spray some more red paint, Rustoleum Satin Heritage Red. Unfortunately O/T stopped at work so I have to wait to finish it up. Unless of course if anyone wants to donate some paint to the cause LOL

Does anybody else have that kind of center console? The armrest is made of wood.

I'm working on finding a leather center console that will fit between my BMW seats, I want one with a hand brake so I can move it off the floor pedal and have some fun!

Actually the factory color is Red & the color I am painting it is Satin Heritage Red. My camera didn't capture the color very well. I really need some more cans of paint so I can get complete coverage & then maybe a second coat for more Red hue.

here are just a few random pics of my dakota, aka the lil chub (i stuck with the previous owners name as it was named this since it was always the smallest truck out playing, yet always seemed to make it farther than the big boys)

Its a 91 sport with the 318 auto and of course 4wd! I bought the truck for $500 cash as it sits in the first picture... had a charging issue which i traced back to the voltage regualtor internal with the computer, so i wired in an external from an 88 ramcharger i believe it was. works perfect and running strong still 10k miles later.
