got it!!
29 miles so far.. hmm, I already have to take it in because the driver door speakers are not working..?? hopefully not a sign of things to come! got it on x-plan



just need a 6" lift and 35's

 

day one.





anyone want to buy a dakota??
I need to sell it so I can get a lift.

anyone know about warranty? the dealer said it would void my ENTIRE warranty if i lifted it but I didn't think that was legal.?

 

No bedliner?

Nice truck.

 

Very nice! Just about the same set up as I have on order, 'cept I'm getting red and no leather.

ENJOY!!!

 

I have an appoinment for the bedliner..

I'm also thinking of taking off the stickers and emblems. I like the clean look.

 

I got the exact same truck except no moonroof.

 

cool, I wouldn't have picked the moonroof but it had it so..

So I got 180miles now, driver speakers still dont work. I thought maybe a wire would get bumped and it would start working..
Its quiet, too quiet. That exhaust has got to go!! I thought it would have more acceleration, this motor seems to pull at higher rpm's but it doesn't feel like 300hp. Must weigh alot more than my dakota. A few times in the rain I punched it expecting to get a little sideways and it didnt.. supercharger????

 

speakers fixed. dealer said it was a loose connection, I guess I could have looked but hell, its brand new and I didnt feel like it. I just got a bedliner sprayed on. looks much better.

I can't decide what brand lift to get. I'm thinking the 6" fabtech w/35's. I think I just want 18's. Why do I see only 9.5 wide? is that all that will fit?

les shwab wants $2300 installed for the lift. I did my dakotas lift, but it wasn't brand new... that only leaves me with $1700 for wheels and tires. After looking, I'm gonna have to save some more $$ up first.

 

NIIIIICE!! I don't think you'll have any more problems. Good color choice BTW. I still love mine after a year(more in fact) Congrats! Here's mine after about $4,000 in mods. Looks like we have similar E 350's too.

 

what brand is that bumper guard?

my first mod:

 

My CD6-MP3 player died and the dealership had to replace it. It wouldn't play the CDs reliably and would report "bad cd" and eject them ... CDs were brand new. Anyway, got it replaced ... the audiophile and sub system really sounds good. I agree, I was expecting more out of the 300hp engine, but I guess these new trucks weigh a lot. Love the SCrew Silver FX4. Mine's getting new wheels and tires VERY soon.

 

[QUOTE=misato] what brand is that bumper guard?

Smittybilt is the brand. Predator is the line.

 

600+ miles now

its in the shop today getting the front windows tinted to match the rears, and also 50% on the windshield.

I also ordered the 6" fabtech and some 35x18x12.5 toyos on 18x8.5 rims. that goes in on friday. if no one f's up the ordering. we'll see, its from the local les schwab dealer.

I emailed troyer last week for more info on the stage 1 kit but I haven't heard anything back yet..

next week I'll be towing 4 quads down to oregon, we'll see how that goes.
