Hello, I've been hanging around checking out posts and hiding in the back. I figured i might as well say hello and share some pics.

Sorry for the camera quality, out of all the things i spend too much money on, that is not one of them

This is the first vehicle i've actually paid for entirely myself. 06 Dakota SLT, with a couple mods so far.

5k worth of damage, but thats what insurance is for

 

Nice truck and welcome to DF and the G3 Dakota section!

 

Like the fender flares, Love the hood! Welcome to the forum now go buy a better camera and take better pics! lol just kidding. Oh and wow! those last two pics are scary! How did that happen?

 

Thanks guys. A camera is on my list, lol, but its after tires.

As for the last 2 pics, I was trying to save a little cash putting on shock, struts, and lift, etc. and one side of the hoist i was using bound up. It knocked it off each side and ended up sliding down the frame and off nose first. It was at some idiots house that said his hoist "worked great", i was not happy, but insurance let it go under comprehensive and it since it was already in for paint i had them paint the flares and put the hood on...so overall it worked out

 

Love the pics! You have a great looking truck!

And Im happy to see another DF member with an MBRP system on their Dakota

 

Thanks, I've gotten a ton of compliments on the mbrp exhaust. It's just a little tame for me, but i think we are gonna play around with a custom high flow Y-pipe without cats. It should liven it up a little

 

If you get a better Y-pipe or go true duals taht will help also. Have you looked into aftermarket high flow cats? I'm running Spintech's aftermarket performance cats and they are awesome.

I'm guessing highflow cats may be the way to go, cutting them totally out is probably going to light up the check engine?

 

i love that hood! hah where did you get it?

Graham(the owner) is a great guy that will answer all your questions. The quality is amazing took very little prep for paint. The best part about the hood is the bottom is as finished as the top, I gotta find a better camera and load up some high quality pics
