Before and after

Before and after
I've seen this in the first and third generation forums, but not here. And I searched, I swear.
For those who have put a bunch of work into their trucks, let's see what they looked like before you fixed them up. Tell us about your mods and post a few pics. Here, I'll start.
The day I got it:

2011-10-05_10-09-34_831_zpsd81443d2.jpg
After getting it running and painted:

After installing Tuff Country lift and 33" tires:

Currently (after SAS):

Mods:
Dana 44 front axle with Spartan locker, GM 9.5" 14-bolt rear axle with Yukon Dura-Grip limited-slip, 4.10 gears, Edelbrock headers with Flowmaster muffler, cold air intake, custom nerf bars, Corbeau seats, Tuffy center console, and probably a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten.
Let's see everybody's second generations!

I don't think I could ever own/drive a vehicle that was exactly like 5 million other people's and judging from the trucks I've seen here, a bunch of Dakota owners feel the same way I do.
P.S. The stock tires on your truck are hilarious. It looks like they were stolen off a skateboard or something.
