Hi
 

Hi. My name is Todd and I go by the name of DakotaStone as a login name. I am currently on my second Dakota and I think that they are the best truck out. My first was a fully loaded 99 Sport and now I own a fully loaded Laramie. I love the way drive and feel. My wife even says that it drives better than her car, for a truck.

I am a Washington Army National Guard recruiter. I live in Vancouver, WA. I used to live in Spokane, WA; Calgary, Alberta; and Arlington Virginia.

My only gripe with Dodge is that they don't put enough HP's in the Daks. I read a lot of magazines and have seen that in the Grand Cherokees, they have more power from the same engine. Doesn't seem fair for some reason.

I haven't done too many mods yet. I put in a K&N filter into a the stock airbox, tinted both front windows, (20%) to match the backs, put on rear splash guards, and a chrome exhuast tip and a folding (not rolling) fully lockable tonneau cover. For some reason, those cosmetic mods I did makes it look a little bit beefier. Maybe its just me.

What I want to put in is a CAI, new exhaust (dual, split sides), and a superchip programmer. I also want to do some more cosmetic stuff like a new hood whent the come out, chrome bug deflector, chrome gas door, tube steps, maybe a roll pan for the rear and maybe a front replacement for the front bumper and have the damn bed lined of course.

Later in the future, when my warranty has worn off, I'll put in a supercharger, or a turbo and maybe some new cams.

RE: Hi
 

very nice truck bro. Very nice. I know what you mean about the whole GC/Dak thing. It isn't fair, but hey that's what small engine mods are for right? Keep up the good work. I already checked out your gallery, and it seems ya gotta killer truck. Be sure to check out mine.

Peace.

RE: Hi
 

Thanks Dodgekid. You're right, that's what the small engine mods are for. Maybe Dodge will wisen up though when Ford comes out with the Adreniline.[:@]

RE: Hi
 

Bah! The Adrenalin will probably have around 240HP. so Dodge needs at least 250-265 to compete. I don't know the specs. on the 2006 Explorer, but expect the Addy to have between 5-10 more HP.
