Hi all, I bought my Nitro about 2 weeks ago. It was time to quit driving my Dakota as a daily driver after 280,000 miles. I'd gone to the dealer to look at buying a Quad Cab Dakota and found that I couldn't stop looking at the Nitro. Now if I can just find headers for it...
Congrats Gregg! Welcome to the forum! You just realized, as did the rest of us, that you can't stop looking at the Nitro. It almost puts you in a Tranz! Hope you post some pics soon and have fun my friend!
It's a SXT in "Inferno Red". I started by looking at the R/T but didn't really care either way about the 6 speed. Figured that the .3L engine difference wouldn't be to hard to make up once aftermarket parts are out. Then I was looking at SLT's but I really liked the black with the red on the SXT. I'll probably reshoot the red in a couple of years when it's dinged up. The finish is great for factory paint, but doesn't come close to what can be done with a House of Kolor pearl metallic. That and I don't have room right now to take another car apart. I'm re-doing my Camaro (HOK Pearl Tangerine) in my garage right now and then my Dakota after that.
