Here is my new to me 98 12 valve before I got it then after. I took off the running boards, and grill guard. . Then I added the 2 1/2 leveling kit. . I'm gonna add black rockstars wrapped with 33 12. 50 extreme all terrains, and still have to install my tough country deluxe full replacement bumper... .

Also took the pinstripe off and changed emblems on the passenger side. Just wanted to make sure I liked it before I did the other side:

My Dakota is a 1997 so does it count as a second generation :-laf

There's some very nice trucks on here. I'm not a huge fan of green generally, but that one that was so shiny you could hardly look at her really caught my eye. Here's a picture of my old girl (wouldn't even think of trading her for a new truck), she's been a working truck her whole life, however, slowly I'm undoing all the neglect its original owner showed her. It's got a lot of goodies that are more functional than showy, but now that I'll be closing up shop soon, I hope to have the time to change that, starting with a bit of body work and custom paint.
 
Update on my truck------:D



These are the hood liner installed on my truck. It came from--------

Nice truck. . How do you like them Parnelli jones tires??? I had a set on my truck and they lasted maybe 6000 miles... I hauled one load of corn maybe 2500 lbs on a lowboy tailer when the tires were new about 350 miles to the deer lease and wore them down to about 40%... They looked cool but were the crappiest tire I have ever had on my truck. I think the tire compound is too soft. . At about 6000 miles I noticed my truck had this very bad vibration I thought it was the u joints and after replacing them still had it so I took it to get the tires balanced and noticed that two of the tires were out of round the inner belt must have busted. . The guy I bought them from said that they are a offroad tire and no warranty was granted... Good luck...

I actually wasnt a fan of the Green myself until I saw that truck. Dodge actually made that truck in 2 different colors that year 1 of which was hunter green with silver logos and the other (mine) is Emerald Green with florurescent green logos.

I really like them. I have about 9000 miles on them and have had no problms with them at all but it isnt a daily driver. I really had limited choices in the 38" tire size so after a little shopping I decided on those and I really like them. The ride smooth on the highway at higher speeds like around 95-100 and they are very quiet. My truck also only weighs 6200 lbs loaded and I have never oulled a trailer with them so that is prob why I have had good luck with them.
 
My 97 with a little over 595kmiles. The shot of the interior is for all those who say the engine is great, but the truck won't last. I've replaced the floormats, the outside panel in the drivers seat and the seat foam, all only one time.
