That looks pretty badass Nick.  Those dragon seats really add some 'ambience' to the car.... :evildude:

Congratulations and good luck with that bad boy.  :rockon:

Thanks Dave! When you buy someone else's vehicle, you have to personalize it to call it your own.  :ohyeah:

Marvelous. Any dirt action yet?

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

Those seat covers are so...Dragon Ball Z.

Congrats on the truck.

I'm thinking about putting the vertical 7" wide black Mopar stripes on the rear quarters behind the wheels. Too much?
Maybe without the ram head though...

It was a toss up between the seat covers, and Yosemite Sam mudflaps and bull testicles.

:lol:

I've considered truck testes for the wagon, so you know which I'd pick.  But speaking you probably sit in your truck more than you look at the rear of it, I think it was probably a smart move.

I'd just start singing the Dragon Ball Z theme song (the one from the movies) every time I'd sit in the thing.

Yes. I'm liking the stripes:



Visually shortens the truck too.

Well, now we know why you shouldn't buy the truck.

Just a minute too late.

Looks great!  I've considered a Dakota, but they are pretty thirsty (V6 Tacoma would be much better in that regard).  But it really is the perfect size for my needs, and that gen is great looking IMO.

Congrats, hope ya enjoy it.

So I have to ask what color of dragon seat covers do you have in the Cadillac?

Silver.  :ohyeah:  Goes great with the Pearlescent White paint and silver vinyl roof I installed. Real pimp.

I'm not finding it any worse than the Caravan. It's got the 4.7 V8, and I have to use a light foot at intersections, or else it leaves neat black rubber stripes.

So what's your fuel consumption at?  I'm wanting to get a truck, and I do like the Dakota...

Probably 20-22 or so on the highway. I haven't calculated it, but as I said it doesn't seem too bad.
I read online somewhere that the 3.9 V6 and 4.7 V8 have exactly the same fuel numbers in the Crewcab 4x4, with the 5.9 V8 being much worse.
