*cough* *cough* there is an ad for it. It's in Nitro WV, but honestly I forgot the name of the dealership (just opened up). I went back after my last post to talk to someone about it but they were already closed. Did take a couple of pictures with my i-phone though so here they are.

ah dang, the only point against it for me would be the ext cab. But that doesn't matter for some people. It has some kind of aftermarket exhaust too since it exits in front of the rear wheel, but looks small diameter.

good call jason lol, stalker

I do not recall if that sub was factory accessory or not, but it is made for the Dakota, and was very pricey.

I would really look at that exhaust, someone did something homebrew.

That is a nice Dakota there, hopefully it was well maintained.

That sub was an available option with the "Sound Box Group", which was available on "club cab models with slate grey bucket seats". Also, the box has a switch to allow the box to glow blue at nite either solid on or flash to the music. Looked to be a $410 option. Here is the way Dodge described it:

Optional SoundBox™ from Alpine® (available on Extended Cab only) offers powerful 508-watt sound
system and 10-inch subwoofer within styled, translucent “box” positioned between rear seats.

Yep, you are exactly right. I remember being able to see "sound box" on it now that you mentioned it.

The exterior looks great. Granted I didn't look over every square inch but taking a walk around the truck I didn't even notice a scratch on it, same with the wheels. I called them a little bit ago and it has 71k miles and they're asking $14,900. I tried to take a pic of the option sheet which you can't read but it said it has a 22mm front axle or something to that effect. Is that a good thing or just standard equipment. Here's a link to the autotrader ad on it....no interior pics though. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...17387892&Log=0

My front axle is 205 mm, but that probably means as much as the heavy duty shock absorbers that is on everyones build sheet.
