My tire are the damn Goodyear's with the stupid ribs on it. It traps the tire shine that I put on and splatters is all over the side of the truck. It pisses me off. I have to go back and rewipe it after I drive it. This is after wiping down the tires with a rag.
What brand of tire shine are you using? I use Black Magic's Tire Wet Foam....and that **** sticks to the tires like glue. I get a lil splatter at first if I drive it initially...but I typically let it sit in the sun for a lil while or take a quick rag to the sides.

The foam tends to dry faster and it sticks much better....you should try it.....

I've had really good luck with the Maguires non foam spray. I don't really have to worry about now with the mud flaps though. I think I might check out the Black Magic next time to see how it works.

Yeah, I'll put ups some interior pics when I get a moment but I think the only difference is that I have round vents anda little bit more of the aluminum accents. That's just what I've heard though.

I like it... wana send me your tail lights to see if tehy fit my truck... lol j/k

I have to say the front end on those trucks look good. I like my dak more, but hey, I am partial.
You can send me yours and I will let you know! Actually if you guys really want to know if they will fit I have a 2005 Dodge Dakota sitting at my school as a donated vehicle. (Automotive Technology School)I can take my lunch break at school tonight and swap them real quick to see if they fit.

That's ok, I'm kind of partial to mine!

I've tried just about every kind. That one I haven't tried yet. I have the Armor All tire foam and it still splatters all over the side. I've wiped the sides of the tires and I still get the splatters too. It drives me crazy. If I don't catch it fast enough, it'll collect the dust and it looks like I've taken it out on the mud trails.

I wouldnt use Armor All if u gave it to me....that stuff is garbage.....

Meguiar's and Black Magic are the way to go...

http://www.meguiars.com/?tire-care/Hot-Shine-Tire-Foam

That stuff, is the absolute best I've ever used. My problem is finding it in stock I actually havent even got to use the can I have at home.....damn weather's been so snowed out here...

Yep, that's the stuff I have right now except I am using the non-foaming hot shine. It works great and I haven't had any splatter problems with it.

thats the first time I seen a raider, and they look pretty good

I like how the fenders stick out more.
