what pisses me of is the fact they already have a functional cold air induction hood for the 08 and not any for the 05-07. unless you get the composite one, but i want a steel one

What pisses me off is... it will never go into production. They have the "warrior" for the 05-07 but never came out.


EDIT!************



THAT IS A 05-07 truck with a 08 FRONT CLIP! THEY ****IN LIE! The interior is WAY different on the new 08's!

F*****G LIARS!!! WTF, sometimes the length they go to............. I mean ya the 08's are too new to really have any aftermarket support, but did they really have to take on 07' and dress it up and claim it as an 08? What do you think the public was fing born yesterday. Althought I do like the orange tach and chrome door handles on the inside.

What ticks me off more is they spend the time and money to make these one off show trucks for sema and never market the stuff they used. Like the lift kit, the hood and so on. I'm tired of being teazed by these trucks. Dodge markets these trucks as a vehicle to take your dirt bike, jet ski, etc. etc. etc. out to play. With 7.8 inches of ground clearance where are you going to go.

Noticed that front bumper too!!! Man it's sickening that they make such nice add on for our truck but not for commercial use... Nice truck, awesome finish but never gonna see half of those adds on, on the market![sm=wtf.gif]

All the rants here have 100% merit! The Dakota is so boring compared to Tacoma’s and Frontiers etc. No ground height, a baby carriage suspension and a price tag that is close to a Ram and little if any Mopar support. Then they show us what they’re capable of which is what we been pleading for all along but then just kick us to the curb. Ok then see if you get my money on my next truck Mr. Pentastar.

The vehicles displayed at SEMA are customized by specialty shops, not the manufacturer. That's why many of the parts never hit the market. We could get the same customization on our trucks - If we spend the $100K+ to get it done.
