My Dodge Dakota transformation...

[ATW]

I have a soft spot for trucks... when I'm not researching for the Dart, most of my time is spent browsing truck forums or ebay for parts! In Aug 2010, I bought a 2001 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4... bone stock.

And I am a firm believer that "stock sucks" :burnout: I grew up in a town of 1300 in rural Wisconsin so lifted trucks are the way to fly.. and I've owned several.

I was off from school for spring break last week so I thought it was a good time to hustle and get some things done to the truck..

Here is the before shot:

And here is the after shot:

I installed:
-3" lift kit
-33" tires on 17" rims
-Body colored sport bumper
-Rear rollpan (not pictured)
-Brakes all the way around

A few weeks ago I added:
-Aftermarket headlights
-Aftermarket taillights
-Window Tint
It is my daily driver and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! Looks good next to the Dart in the driveway! :usa2:
