Hello all, New to the site, figured id post up a pic of my truck. 99' dakota Sport 3.9 club cab. Its been de-badged, both the vinyl graphics and the v6 magnum emblems. Roll pan should be coming in any time now, so ill put pics up when i get it. Came with factory a/c, but did a delete pulley a year ago when the a/c compressor locked up. Not shown in pictures, but i just picked up a fiberglass tonneau off craigslist for a steal, once i get it painted ill put up new pics.DSC_0065.jpg

Yea i think thats what it was called, gunmetal metallic or something like that. I know about the center caps, i just cant bring myself to pay 30.00+ for a set of plastic bits, haha. Im sure ill break down and order a set soon before all they make is those gaudy chrome 3d ones.
