Default New Guy

Hi, my dad bought a slightly used '05 Dodge Dakota Laramie yesterday and since then I have been cruising the internet trying to find a message board. I actually own a Mustang andhave been modding it with my dad since we bought it new in 99. So far the mustang has alot of time and money invested in it in mods and since my dad bought this truck looks like we have a new toy to play with now

I look forward to cruising the boards and learning about this truck. If you guys are wondering what the first mod will be it will probably be a K&N drop in filter and a cat-back system of some kind.

For those curious of the mustang here's a quick run down of the important mods: NX 75 shot of nitrous, 4.10 gears, t-lok, BBK CAI, GT take-off dual exhaust, custom dyno tune by RET. There's a whole lot more in suspension, stereo, appearance etc. but this isn't a mustang board so I won't bore you.

See ya around.

Welcome to the board. You'll soon see how helpful these guys really are--I've learned a lot in the last few months. Nice truck and 'stang. What else do you plan to do after the K&N and exhaust?

You know what I don't know. It's my dad's truck and I know he'd like an exhaust, some tint, and a nice stereo set-up. WE probably won't go crazy on this truck, just make it a very nice daily/cruiser. Although I must admit I wish he'd let me do some bigger mods LOL.
