Hey Guys,

Name is Kyle. I just purchased a 2000 Dodge Dakota SPORT 2wd Club Cab Automatic 3.9L V6 truck in Green. Only 62K miles too! I got the truck because Insurance and car payments on my current car were too much.

What I WAS driving and is currently for sale.
2004 Subaru WRX

And it didn't come with a stereo so my fist mod was a new one.
Sony CDXGT710.

Only driving the truck for a day or two I LOVE it. Of course its not near as fast or agile as my WRX, but gas, insurance, and payments tangled with maintenance just KILL everything.

I do plan on modding the truck. Lowering it, intake, exhaust, rims, tires, looks, etc etc etc.

Thanks!

Forgot to add, the cheesy Dodge taillight covers and front bug guard are gone very soon. I'm ordering new tails next week and unbolting the bug guard. I like a clean look, not crappy plastic crap.

Welcome to the board. Yes insurance is just a little lower for the truck then a WRX. I was looking at one before I bought the Vette and even it was half that of a WRX or Evo.

welcome to the site! bet you wish you got an R/T after you had a WRX! gotta hand it to the 3.9's tho... they definitely have potential! cant wait to see the progress when you start modding!

the only potential they have is to go a lot of miles like a tank. otherwise they are dogs.

I could have gotten an R/t, white, 2000 year, 80K miles and they wanted 4K more. I Decided against it though.

And can anyone link to some common DIY mods for the 3.9/dakota? I haven't had much time to look around
