Default Hey guys, im back with a new truck!

So remember how about 2 months ago I got into an accident in which I rear-ended someone? ok well my insurance company totaled my truck because the trailer that I was towing caused more damage than what was visible... $8,500 worth to be more precise. So lots of struggling and hasting later here I am with another dakota but this time just a bit better =]. I was really going hard for a 4.7l buuuuut i found this truck instead. The add-ons were what sold me for sure. So here are the specs: silver 2006 3.7l Dakota SLT Quad cab with avs rain guards, bed cover, full towing package, Full K&N cold air intake system, aftermarket transmission cooling system, Airlift airbags added onto the rear suspension for less sagging when towing; also should help keep the front end on the ground improving towing breaking power. Things that I have added on so far: Nightshade tail lights (off my old truck), Westin tail light guards (off my old truck), and full avs rain guards as it only had one on the drivers side front and the passengers side rear when i bought it, later this week I am going to have a full exhaust system professionally installed with duals coming out the rear at 45 degrees already have the super 44 flowmaster muffler at tips just need to take it to the custom exhaust shop.
