Default Just Bought a Dakota


I just put a deposit down on this 2003 Dakota SLT! In the words of Joe Diffie, "my first car was a pickup truck".

The Maryland Inspection work and touch-up paint job means I'll have it in about a week.

The first things I'm gonna do are put HID headlights and an aftermarket radio. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Looks sweet. Enjoy. I'd say own it and drive it for a while and spend some time on this forum to see what others have done. I'll agree the stock headlights are lame, but finding something that is decent, doesn't blind other drivers, last longer than 6 months and doesn't look "boy racer" is difficult. I wound up replacing my originals headlights that got really cloudy with OEM units because the options were maddening. And of course opinions are like that rear part of your body. Everyone has one. Trouble is too many opinions are essentially useless.
