RE: 08 Daks
Racinartist just got one by default. Me personally, I dont like the looks of the fronts, like batman said, the chromed out headlights on most suck, but if they arent chromed the truck looks good. Here is Racinartists, https://dodgeforum.com/m_1213875/tm.htm. Just look throught this post and you'll see some pictures of his truck

RE: 08 Daks
You obsessed with my truck dude? Haha
Sorry, I've been REALLY busy and didn't see this post til now. Yea, I like mine, even though I did get it by 'default'. They aren't any smaller though. The truck is the same chassis and bodywise. The only thing I can tell different is the asthetics of the front fenders, hood, and nose/grille. Inside the dash has been updated, along with some other minor interior ugrades. The bed, cab, roof, doors, etc are the very same as the 05-07 though. The cargo tiedown system is a cool edition, as are the storage cartons under the rear seat, even though I haven't had the need to use either yet. The suspension seems WAY better than my 05, but I don't know if that is due to the TRX being stiffer, or if all 08 trucks would be similar. This one is pretty stiff being an off-road package, but the 05 was spongy as hell, so that's a nice change from what I was used to. It's still a bit 'jumpy' though on bumps and whatever else. The engine's increase in HP is...well...who could complain about that. It moves out though, especially farther up the RPM range. It's a bit sluggish off the line, but that could be from the AWD or becuase I was used to the manual trans, but even with the automatice, once it hits 3500-4000 RPM, hold on.
All in all, I'm happy with it so far, even considering I didn't want a new truck when I got it. [&:]
