[gujada9776]

[GLOBALWARNING101]

Can I take the steering wheel off a 1998 dodge avenger and put it on my 2001 dodge Dakota sport

[Placido31335150]

WHAT KINDA HEADLIGHTS??

[Placido31335150]

you need a tonneau cover on that like me, it gives it a much sleaker look

[Dodgetruckboy]

Bought them used off a buddy. They are cheap apc seats.

[Silverboy005]

where did u get the seats

[bmw2go11]

Can you please tell me where did you get the bumper, i have a 2000 4.7 v8 slt club, long bed& i am having difficulty finding a store with one in stock. Thanks in advance ;)

MOPAR OR NO CAR

[Dodgetruckboy]

If your talking about the rear roll pan its a apc fiberglass unit. I got it from my cousins shop but styling trucks has one just like it. The front bumper cover in the new video I bought off a Guy on a dakota-durango forum I frequent.

[bmw2go11]

Thanks bro :D

[bacaboi]

I have a 97 also but v8 extended cab. Where did you get the grille inserts?

[Dodgetruckboy]

I got them from stylin trucks. they are the chrome Street Scene Speed Grille inserts.

[sarcazim123]

where did u get ur rims

[Dodgetruckboy]

Ordered them from my cousin's shop. Black Rhino Burst 20"

[natekingofkings]

bad ass dakota ive got a 98 not a sport tho

[Dodgetruckboy]

Thanks, I'm picking up a 5.9L at the end of Oct. for a motor swap.

[razer1000]

that's definitely going to add some kick to your pick.....up. lol I have a 73 w100 with a 360ci but I recently sold a '00 ram van v6 so I was surprised when I was looking up parts for the 73, i found upgrades for the 3.9L, Lol b4 i sold it I put an Eddelbrock air cleaner on it, kinda as a joke but Its reusable so it will help the guy who bought it. Anyway, very very nice truck, sry about the long comment

[bigmackburger]

Where did you get the headlights? What brand are they? I want to put them on my 2003 4.7 V8 Quad Cab Dakota.

[Dodgetruckboy]

I got them off ebay, can't remember the brand though. They don't make them with the clear reflector anymore though. Just search Dakota 1pc headlights and get the smoked ones.

[Dodgetruckboy]

New vid is up, check out the video response for the new look!

[chrgr340]

What gauge faces are those? What about the climate control accent? I can't seem to find anything decent like that for a '97. They look awesome!

[Dodgetruckboy]

Thanks. They are Nu-Image Platinum Series Gauges. I got them from Stylin Trucks.

[Dodgetruckboy]

New Video coming soon, The Dak got a face lift and new tires!

[duffman4026]

you smoke those tail lights yourself or did you buy them like that?

[Dodgetruckboy]

I had a body shop smoke them for me. They just about match the truck when off but lets plenty of light out.

[TheAustinHenry]

legal?

[Dodgetruckboy]

In NC they are, you would need to check your local laws if you live in another state.

[razer1000]

I was talking to a guy with an AE86 corolla at a car show who had a "panda" paint job (black bottom half, white top) and he said he did them himself, said all he did was thin out black paint and spray it on in a couple of very thin coats, hope to do it or have it done to my gold 1980 corolla

[crunkpenguin25]

do you need to do any custom work to get those seets in there?

[Dodgetruckboy]

Ordered a set of brackets from sidewinder customs to make them work.

[spermyzskeet]

really clean truck!!! all you need is a 5.2.. or the 5.9.. lol

[Dodgetruckboy]

You were close w/ the 5.2. 390 stroker in the works.

[Dodgetruckboy]

I got them from stylintrucks. They are the chrome Street Scene speed grille inserts. They also have brushed and black chrome.

[riverviewpowerhouse]

can u give me the site to buy the upper and lower grill inserts thank u alot

[hdsystemcancun]

100% nice , how much is Airaid CAI w/ K&N Filter .

[Dodgetruckboy]

I bought mine used from a friend. They early Airaids came w/ a K&N filter but the new ones have an Airaid filter. I think stylintrucks sells them.

[Dodgetruckboy]

I used to open like all Gen III dakotas. But when I put the speed grille inserts in I had a buddy make me a rod he welded to the handle that allows me to open the hood from the bottom. The grille originally came w/ a T-Handle but the wire kept stretching so I got rid of it.

[ConkerPucci13]

tha silver part of the grill.. doesn't the hood open up like the 98 Dakota along with the grill? if so.. with the design of grill you have... how do you un-latch it? seems kinda hard to do

[Jac2Mac]

Did the 1997 Dodge Dakota ever come with the scary buzzer on certain models or just a chime?

[Dodgetruckboy]

My dakota has a chime, my 84 Power Ram has the buzzer, I think the 96 and olders may have had the buzzer but I'm not sure.

[Dodgetruckboy]

Thanks,It has a 48mm tb, FMS 19lb Injectors, Airaid CAI w/ K&N Filter, Jet Stage II Chip, Magnaflow Exhaust, & Relocated IAT sensor.

[COPOKurt]

[estevato12]
