Motors 31337-truck of madness

lol
so yea i bought a truck last week:
1998 dodge dakota sport crew cab
4x4 3.7l v6
133,000km
canopy, bedliner, bush bar, nerf bars, and undercoating all included.
$10,000CAD

what do you guys think:

 

get rid of the nos seat covers. Those things in my opinion look fugly. I like the truck otherwise.

 

Bigger tires; no seat covers; remove the wind deflectors around the side windows; paint that canopy jet balack; and get some new carpet in there!

Otherwise, looks alright.


Maybe also get a brush bar on top with some super-bright spotlights, would look sweet.

 

I have to agree about the seat covers - and those are the cheap ones from AutoZone, et al. Other than that, I like it - have always liked the Dakota's

 

get rid of that stupid white squiggle on the number plate too it llooks ugly , Ice

 

yea
im actually taking the canopy off and ive got a toolbox for the back

the seatcovers do look kinda bad, but they keep the seats clean s oonce they've worn out ill get rid of them.

not gonna put spotlights on, they cost more than im prepared to pay for something im probly not going to even use

but yea
im putting a flowmaster exhaust on it next week (6)

 

If you're going to take the cap off and put in a tool box, there's nothing like a nice HEAVY set of roll bars on a truck

 

That thing's f*cking huge.

Get rid of the seat covers, get some nicer wheels, maybe kit out the interior a little, and get rid of the canopy altogether tbh (it looks fugly). Apart from that it's nice though

 

Huge? Are you kidding me? It's a quarter-ton, not even a full-size truck.

 

See what I mean about bigger tires?

 

That's a nice-looking truck. Did you say $10000CAD? Isn't that like £3000? That's mad.

 

In the UK it's very rare that you'll see a truck anywhere near that size. Would love to see a full-size one

 

I like it.

If your going to use the crook lock on the steering wheel its a good idea to put it on the other way so the black handle bit goes up into the windscreen pillar.

Otherwise its just a nice handle for the "crooks" to snap your steering lock

 

theres a full size one running round where i live (i say full size its huge, but everything it huge in america), i'll try get a pic of it next time it goes past.

 

Is the steering wheel ribbed for your pleasure?

Nice truck, I agree that it does look underwheeled.

You do a lot of offroading? I would hate to see what those bull bars would do to a pedestrian...

A nice bit of automotive silliness. Is it fun to drive? I would second the comment about the bull-bars also.

 

Here's a regular, full-size Ford F150 that belongs to a friend of mine. To compare, flanking it to either side is a Pontiac Grand Am.




Here's a Dodge Ram 1500 (big brother to the Dakoda) that was in the parking lot. To the left is a Chevy Impala and the right is a Ford F150 Crew Cab.

 

No wonder your parking spaces are so much longer than ours!

 

because our average vehicle is more than 3ft longer than the regular ones over there?

and those aren't even the largest pickups you can buy.... f350/ram3500/chevy 3500 series are even bigger...

(should go take a pic of my hemi...)

 

Please do

We've been waiting for pics of your cars for years
