Hi, names Scott. Well where to start? I got my truck the summer before my senior yr of high school. I finished high school in 07. So I got the dakota with 69k miles on it, it was stock but quick lol.
The truck stayed the same pretty much till my 18th birthday when all I wanted was a catback exhaust. So my parents and sister got me a Goerlich catback exhaust system. My dad ordered the kit but got the kit for the wrong yr. So I had to take it to an exhaust shop and had them custom bend 2" pipes. They ended the exhaust with 3" chrome tips.
This pic was taken after I finished highschool. Shortly after I took 3rd place in stock truck and van at my first car show.
Then in august of 07 I bought a set of high intensity discharge (HID) lights and havent looked back.
Then back in november of 07 came the worst part of the yr. My buddy and I were out cruising the strip and were at a stop sign. This mindless chick in chevy malibu rearended the kota.
Then in Jan the truck was fixed but is still missing an exhaust pipe because the girl crushed the passenger side tail pipe as seen in the above photo.
this is after the first trip to the body shop
the bumper inserts are what comes on a slt kota with chromee bumpers which i do not have.
