New member! 00 Dodge Dakota 4x4 4.7 Sport W/PICS!
Hey everyone!
I figured I would jump on the forums because I am sure to be asking a question or two.
I live here in the pacific northwest (portland) and just picked up my first dodge product, a 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 4.7 Club Cab.
I have always loved the look of the second generation dakota and I remember looking at the mopar accessory catalog before I could drive picking out off road lights and roll bars 
It currently has 150k on the clock and appears to be in 110% condition. The motor is dead smooth and oil is bright yellow with no build up under the oil cap. The transmission shifts smooth as butter and feels brand new.
I am about to install a new axel and upper ball joint on the driver side and give it an alignment and then I will be set hopefully for many thousands of miles to come.
The truck is all stock as far as I can see aside from a custom flowmaster exhaust (wow these trucks sound amazing). It almost looks lifted to me but these must just sit high from the factory.
I am coming from a polar opposite world as my DD before the dakota (and now garage queen) is a BMW M3.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestion in terms of new ownership on my dakota!
Here are a few pictures!
And like I said comments and suggestion are welcome!
And one of my baby
