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

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. [&:]
