Default upgrade my dakota, help.

Ok, im new around here, but I was hoping you guy could help me.
Im look for the best way of upgrading my truck for a affordable price.
for around 2k What would you get?

I have a 2001 SLT Dodge Dakota quad Cab 4x4 4.7liter V8.

I know there our better exhaust and cold air intake system and all.

But it would take me a long time to find all of this stuff.

thanks
Darin

If I had 2k, I'd get F&R limited slips and full exhaust.

Well stupidity is relative. Go to www.truckperformance.com you'll get a good price on parts there but look around theres always a better price ( i call them half the time with a better price and they match it). Like ive said be4 go to www.dakota-durango.com thats probably the best place to go to find your vehicle specific parts. Basically anything you need. . . . Other than me calling in your own order i don't know what else to do. . .

okay killer first of all watch the language!!!!!!!! Second if your wanting a loud obnoxious sound go with flowmasters dual in dual out 40 or 50 series then open up the intake with a fipk those 2 alone will give more power and ALOT more sound.
