Hello,
New guy from Ohio (Akron). I just got a 2005 Dakota Quad Cab, I have been checking the site out and it seems like there is alot of useful information. I want to learn as much as I can about my truck.

Also, if there is any mods you guys recommend, I am all ears. I have a long list of things I want to do it, but I need to prioritize what "needs" to be done first!

Hey thanks, I appreciate the assistance. If there is anything I can do to help out someone else, I'm more than happy to. First thing I did when I bought my truck was get a Haynes manual for it. Already came in handy when I had to replace the passenger mirror. I hate squirrels, dont ask. Anyway, I baby the hell outta my truck (except when I'm surrounded by people who can't drive) and do what I can to take care of her. As soon as I get comfortable with navigating this site, I'm sure I will get a lot out of it.

Thanks! I take it you were/are in the air force. I recently just came off active duty and went guard so I can finish my degree.

Hey Fascistfaction,
Those are some awesome suggestions! Probably the top three things on my priority list right now are: newer OEM radio that has MP3 capability with a different bezel than the ugly wood grain it came with, exhaust (might as well do headers at the same time), and new speakers (4- 6 1/2's that put out a good amount of base on a 4-channel amp under the back seat).
