Default ex-Comanche guy buys a 2007 Dakota

Hey Guys

Thanks again for your insight guys, when I located thespecial build (4.7 with a 6-speed)it was a no-brainer not to buy it. I'm lovin it so far.

I want to put rear mud flaps, front air deflector, and door sill covers on to start. Should I just go with Mopar for these or are there any good aftermarket products out there?

I went with aftermarket for the rear mud guards and the front air deflector. You can see from my pictures by clicking the camera icon in my avatar area of this post. The mud guards match your front ones and can be painted to match. I chose the mopar air deflector because the after markets just didn't look good to me. good luck with the truck.

Good choice! Let's see some pics.
I've always preferred the "WeatherTech.com" door visors. They fit in the window channel; the fronts don't even require tape.

Nice! I thought the last 4.7 with 6 speed manual was made in 2006.

BacknBlack where did you get the rear mudflaps from and who makes them?

About the window visors, performanceproducts.com has some like that too at a pretty good price, I ordered their house brand in-channel visors and when they arrived I saw they were the EGR ones that usually sold for more

Same here. Got mine for $40 bucks from a Chrysler dealer on Ebay. Unfortunately, he hasn't been selling anything lately.
