Default Parts on order!

Well I just got my tax return and decided to get some accessories for the truck. So I hit up ebay. I bought a black grill guard, 4 fog lights, rain guards, stainless tail light guards(i will paint them black but they were $40 cheaper), seat covers and a tailgate light bar. All for only a little over $500












Everything should be here within a week or so. Ill post pics when I get them installed

Very nice! I am envious that either black or chrome accessories look good with that dark red paint color.

One suggestion to you brother. Look under your truck in the front for the bolts that the brush guard will connect to on the frame and make sure you can get them off. When I went to mount mine they were super tight and when I could make them budge they would only spin with the nut on top, ended up having to go to a shop that could hit them with a blow torch to loosen them. This way as soon as you get it you will not run into any issues mounting it.

Are those universal seat covers? If so let me know how they fit. I want to cover my seats but don't want to spring for wetokole's.

That did not work for me. I had to drill a hole in the top bushing and inserd a steel rod through it to keep it from turning, and then still broke the bolt getting it out. $60 for one new body mounts and bolt.

italiandominator, Alright I'll have to do that when I get a chance. Thanks for the heads up!


lghtngblt02 and odxbeef they are universal to a point they are supposedly verified to fit our trucks though. I only paid $56 shipped so we will see what kind of quality they are and how well they fit when i get them here they are http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Grey-S...cafd13&vxp=mtr if you want different colors search for "07(your year) dakota seat covers"


norma jean, thanks for the link! Hopefully Ill luck out and they will come out easy I live in the desert so we don't have many problems with rust here (finger crossed)
