This is a 2000 Dodge Dakota 4x4. It has 4.7 with a automatic.
3 inch body lift
Flowmaster 40 series exhaust
Throttle body spacer was on when I bought the truck.
Alpine stereo with a Kenwood amp and Kenwood speakers.
Rancho 5000 shocks front and back
Replace steering shaft (they tell me this is common for Dakota's)
Westin nerf bars. ( Had running boards on when I bought it. Did a good job of rusting out underneath)
Lund sunvisor
31's BFG's on stock rims.
New window canvas



Couple of things to add later and could use some feedback.

New air filter system just build my own. Cheaper and just as good.
New set of header's in place of stock manifold's.
Maybe little more lift. Torsion keys are max out. So maybe new key's and blocks.

Thanks and glad to be here.

Looks good. As far as air intake get one off ebay. Work just as well as brand names but a 1/8th of the cost. Headers you dont have to worry about since the 4.7's stock manifolds flow just as good as aftermarket. Im not really sure about keys and blocks but there are tons of places to get them from.

Thanks everyone.
Bought back in Feb and when I test drove it I liked the 4.7 it was fast.I added the body lift ,shocks,tires,nerf bars, stereo and exhaust which sounds real good.

Look on E-Bay are very cheap $30-$57. Do you have a certain brand or buyer.

I got a granatelli intake off ebay for 38.00 shipped(other sites say retail is 200.00) it looks like a k&n pretty much. I got it from granatellioutlet I dont know if they have anything for the 4.7 but pretty much if they have 100% feedback or like 99+% they are a pretty good seller. Just find something you like and you can post up here and we will give you feedback there is tons of threads on here about it just search and it will help you out.

Think I found one. Had a probelm with the fit because of the throttle body spacer. Try send more info.

Also I have a Midland 1001z cb good radio for a cheap one. However can't find out anything about memory on this thing.When you shut truck off goes back to channel 9. Any thoughts?

Nice; I like the black side runners; mine are chrome westin's and are super cheap quality on their chrome; Wish I had black ones.
