Default Finally...some pics!

So yeah...I've had this truck since October and I think I said in another post....I FINALLY just got to wash it for the first time last week. (Michigan winters suck).

So today I took the day off (sorta nice--60 degrees & sunny) and actually washed it again and waxed it too. You can see the reflections off the paint really good in some of the pics....so yeah it's looking damn good!
(Used Meguiar's Gold Class if anyone really wants to know)

Check em' out:

I agree...I like the Sport look 100 times better

Didn't have choice about anything though...since it was literally the last '05 on the lot when I got it. It was either this truck or a gas sucking Ram 1500 4x4 with only a 4.7.

It just gets me to/from work.....now the bike, is my toy!!!

if you want a painted bumper for cheap, go here http://allchryslerparts.com/

they have all kinds of OEM CHEAP parts...a new front PAINTED bumper for dirt cheap...make sure you search under 06 Dakota tho, as the 05's "didnt offer a sport package" or so says my dealer

Is your Dak a 4x2 or 4x4? I don't see a 4x4 badge on the rear corners. Isn't a 4x4 practically a necessity in the state of Michigan? Awesome looking bike by the way...great looking truck too.

It's a 4x2

4x4's suck down gas....I had a 2004 QC 4x4 V-8 and it only got like 13-14 MPG


Michigan winters aren't that bad at all anymore....well here in Southeast Michigan anyways.
Up in the U.P. (where Frenchy is at) they get A LOT of snow.

The addition of the LSD helped a lot too! But I just threw some bags of salt (160 pounds in the back for some more traction) and it did fine!

We only had like 2 or 3 major snowfalls this past winter....the rest was light snow & no problems at all for me.
