Don't know how or why this post is on here twice......need to delete one of these...


In my never ending quest to find (mostly) inexpensive ways to personalize my Dakota. This weekend I painted my calipers and drums (another post), started on repainting my chrome grill and gutter guard inserts upgrade and picked up a couple of single to dual exhaust tips, just to be a little different, shat do ya think?

I'm not really feeling the double tips, kinda wimpy for a truck. Maybe they just look smaller in the picture.

Only thing I did was a wash & wax, took a couple of pics. Here's one for next years calendar.

They just look like they have a reeeeaaally small diameter. When it comes to trucks, the bigger, the better!

I installed my new Paxton belt tensioner assembly, just waiting on my new gatorback serpentine belt. All this time I thought my blower belt was slipping, it was actually my serpentine belt, lol.

Washed it twice and cleaned the seats (and discovered that someone has been wiping their grimy hands on my headliner).
