Looks good. I saw that on an 08+ model a couple weeks ago and it made me look twice. Its something different.

Personally, I like having no decals on my truck but it is kind of plain. And I always get the questions; "is that 4 wheel drive?" or "is that a ford?" .... I have gotten both more than just a couple times.

I had no decals on mine either for awhile, thought it looked pretty good, then I saw these and I just had to put them on.
Who ever thought that your "Dodge" was a "froud" needs to be smacked upside the head,LOL.

THATS WHAT I SAID! I had a guy ask me while I was at the bar with my dad once, and another time we were getting sod and one of the workers commented on how he liked the truck, and if it was a ford.

Maybe Ill do chrome 4x4s on flat black bed stripes .....

Its fixable. When I was rear ended I bumped in to a lady in front of me which knocked it off more than it was when I bought it. Insurance quoted $200 to fix it, but instead I stuck the money in to getting a new chrome rear bumper instead of a refurbished one. One day when I was bored, I pulled off the front bumper, loosened the reenforcment, used a couple jacks to make it perfectly straight with the headlights and tightened the bolts back up. I ended up having to do that procedure twice to get it perfect. Both sides are within 1/32" of eachother. Slid the bumper cover back on and its perfect. Theres a thread on here where I described in detail the whole process.

The more I look at this 4 x 4 emblem the more I like it Since I took my 4 x 4 decal off the bed there is no way for people to know it is a 4x4, and I am getting the same questions as Regnanth about if it is a 4x4, so I am going to remove the slt emblem underneath the dakota emblem on the tail gate and place the 4 x 4 emblem there.

I didn't trim out my fenders, the left one just touches the inner if I make a hard right, I'll get around to fixing that and as for slowing down I never noticed any differance.
