Default My new truck

Hi guys,
I was talking about getting a new Dakota, but when I got to the dealer I really liked the Rams. The first dealer I went to said the won't take my '91 Dakota (2wd, 318, auto, 198,000 miles) on trade. They really didn't want to work with me. This was Friday so we left to think about it.
So yesterday my Dad and I decide to go different dealer. They were nice and really worked with us. They gave me $2,000 for the Dakota. I got an '05 Ram quad cab, Thunder Road, 4x4, auto, with a Hemi. It has 16,000 miles on it. I love it. It already has a Magnaflow duel exhaust and sounds great!


The fist thing I have to do is put nerf bars on it. It sits pretty high. I don't mind it, but it would help.
Nick

Welcome to da Forums Moparmutt!
I'd say you got yourself a great truck.

As for mods well, all I can say is you've come to the right spot for that.

Thanks. It came with the bed rails. I want to get nerf bars to match. Who makes a bed cover that will go in between the bed rails? I use my truck bed a lot, so I would like something that would roll up or fold. Monday after work, I will be going to an truck accessories store to look at some stuff. I had a snap on cover on my Dakota. I liked it, but I would like to some where I don't have to take it off and fold up.
Oh, it also has a limited slip rear end. I just read some bad stuff about that on here.
