My new truck

Just got it last night. It is a 99 dodge dakota sport cab. Real nice truck. Enjoy.

The rest are here http://www.oznium.com/gallery/index.php/josh9015-dodge-dakota/gid/192/cid/500 Enjoy

Sweet. Yellow looks good.

Thanks. I want to get black racing stripes down the middle.

Yellow with black stripes is an awesome combo. I salute you!

we have a new photoshop king. dj just cant hang with that kind of quality :alchoholic:

I know it....banned from sg really got me started on this, i didn't know i could do it with paint until he told me...but it's really fun to **** up a ride in my spare time

look good,

V6 or V8?

V6 which is good because of the gas prices. Has power though. Same thing as a 318 with two valves cut off. Potota Pusher. Good job. I like it. Maybe that will look like it if it was stolen by a gang. With all the spraypaint.

Nice truck .... then again, I may be a bit biased. I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport Cab. I have the V8, because of the gas mileage. The V8 gets better gas mileage than the V6, since the V6 has to work harder to move the truck.

My truck has minimal mods, though. Full-size cap, and Herculiner roll-on bedliner.

Huh, I didn't know that. You would think that a v8 would suck more gas. What is the link to your pics.

Not the best pic, but it's the first one I could find while at work:


When I ordered my truck, the specs had the V8 at 1MPG better on the highway, and the same MPG city. Not a big difference, but it made it a little easier convincing the wife that I "needed" the V8...

v6 - v8 are both gas guzzlers You lose either way with those - but power is everything like they say!

If either of you knwo anyoen lookin to buy a 97 dkota on air - let me know. A friend is selling his for 7500 firm - its blu with silver flames on dubs and a blow through...

So far, I've pulled a stump out of the ground, pulled my in-laws mobile home apart (with their permission, of course... ), and put over 1000 pounds of stuff in the back, all without struggling... I LOVE power....

Thanks for all your compliments. I just started to but yellow wire loom in the engine. Good thing is that pretty much the whole engine has wire loom in it. Looks good so far. Next thing to do is tint and I was thinking about putting a yellow ub kit on it. What does everybody think on how it would look? Thanks again.

They finally got around to putting a real house on the property, so they had to demo the 30+ year old trailer. (It always annoyed my wife and I, because they have plenty of money, they just never spent it on housing... ).

What better way to demo the trailer, than to cut some holes in the walls, hook up a big chain to my truck, and slowly pull large chunks out of the wall. It was fun when the roof finally collapsed! I have it all on tape. My neice was about 4 at the time. You can hear her saying, "Uncle Shawn is breaking the house!"

I would have prefered using explosives =P But even at 30 years old, it wasn't salvageable? hehe you should have sold it to cover gas for your truck =P

Nah, it was a piece of crap. Plus, it was a lot more fun pulling it apart then trying to sell it....

Although, I wouldn't mind some extra gas money. I put over $30 in the tank last night, and that was the cheap stuff!
