My first new vehicle purchase was the 94 Auto with the 5.2 and limited slip 3.55 gears. I had heads, cam, intake manifold work, roller rockers, torque converter, shift kit, Doug Thorley headers and Gibson exhaust, and a Vortech supercharger. Sold this one to get my 98 RT. Which I did lots of work to. Then I got the 2000 after Chrysler bought the RT back. I wanted to get another Dakota to build into a race truck and bought the 94 5 speed used. Drove it a while and decided not to do the build. I sold this to my neibghor for his kid. The kids friend took the truck to make a beer run and wrapped it around a tree. The second 94 was a bit beat up to begin with so it wasn't worth putting the money into.

You don't have any parts left from the 94s, do you?

thanks for all the awesome comments guys,

Welcome to Camm. I am a former owner of 4 past Dakotas. All V8's. 94 Sport Regular Cab, 94 Sport Regular Cab 5 speed, 98 RT Deep Amythyst, and a 2000 Sport 4.7 5 speed. I had a lot of fun with those trucks. What do you have done to yours?

I basically have what you can see roll pan, ss inserts, hl with hids, tonneau, and a center console swap next is a over head computer

Welcome, Zac. I had an '88 Dakota with a four-banger. The only new vehicle I have ever owned. It blew a head gasket.

im not sure how fitment is for the SS grill shell to stock hoods, but it had to be worked on a bit to mate to my cervini's fiberglass hood. i always thought it was because the front of the aftermarket hood was shaped a bit different. it wasn't alot of work to make it work but yea there was issues so don't paint it till you get it how you want it to sit.

oh for got to add about how i like it...

i love it. it looks good, not over the top but enough so other dakota owners comment on it. much nicer lines on the truck than the factory one in my opinion.
