its too bad that theres no aftermarket support for our dakota, you could have gotten some sick **** to replace the stock stuff-

 

I almost got the mopar taillights but they were too expensive compared to the OEM ones. It's kind of funny because when I crashed my Integra the aftermarket headlights I had them order were $120 less than getting factory ones from Acura, then again I should be glad Dodge doesn't rip you off for parts as bad as the imports do

 

Finally home from school and went to see the progress on the truck yesterday. They've had some delays waiting for parts to come in but it's coming along pretty well. The body shop is doing a good job on it, after speaking with the owner he really seems to put a lot of value on doing a quality job and from what I saw they are.

The cab is close to being back together, bed is done and waiting for paint then put back on. They replaced all the parts that needed it with OEM Mopar body parts, nothing used or aftermarket, by the time they're done I'll almost have a new truck, lol. There wasn't any mechanical damage, all body panels which is good. He said I should be looking at a week or two till it's done now. Unfortunately I forgot to bring a camera (stopped on the way back from work) so I don't have any pics for you guys.

 

Awesome man, glad to hear

 

Good deal. I am planning on stopping to look at mine tomorrow. Mine should be about done if everything has gone as planned.

 

I have to go in there next week to bring something in to him before they start painting (hopefully it gets to me in time) I will try to remember to bring my camera then. Won't have time to stop in tomorrow and they are not open Sunday.

 

Alright, I've actually had pics for you guys for a few days now (stopped in and took them on Monday) but my laptop died just before I came back home from school and I didn't get it working till today. Since my laptop's built in card reader is the only way I have to get pictures off my camera (lost the cable) I can finally post the pics up now that I've fixed it. Without any further ado:

honestly they should have just gave u a new truck with the amount of work there is done alone right there.......... dam

 

Well the first place insurance had an estimate done by quoted 9k or so. Was talking to the guy who's doing the work about that and he said the first shop had to either be crazy or didn't look at it, all said and done insurance will be shelling out 13-14k easy. Needless to say they're not pulling a profit on this one, lol.
