Hey guys! I just got a 2010 dodge dakota and want to modify it. I can't seem to find much for the truck, I'm hoping to get a new grille, front and rear bumper, maybe some headlights? Anyone know where I could find these? Or if they even have any?

The grill has a couple of factory versions. Other than that, I think you're stuck with either custom-made or factory.

Okay, any aftermarket bumpers I could get? Is there a lift kit I could get for it?

 

[philipat]

nothing for bumpers...that's what I meant by factory or custom for everything else...bumpers, headlights, etc.

There are a couple of 1-3" lifts, mostly leveling kits. Do a search on the various Dakota forums to find them. Front suspension tends to be a weak point on this truck. So, I've kept the factory heights.

Do you by chance know if 07 ram tail lights will fit on the 2010 dakota? They look exactly the same.

Never heard of it being done. Online parts shops seem to show that the tail lights were unique to the Dakota. If you try it, let us know if it works.

Ram 1500 tail lights will not fit, same as any other Ram lights or bumpers.

Unfortunately Dakota sales were on a downward trend after the 2005 redesign, and the 2008 refresh did nothing to change that trend. Sales were pitiful so companies put no money into designing any products for the Dakota by the time 2008 rolled around.

Hi! How hard was it to weld it onto your dakota? How long did it take?

I'm also thinking of getting LEDs for the truck too. Do I have to do any conversions or anything for that? Or can I just get the led type of bulb and it'll be fine

 

[4xdirtslinger]

the best one come with a plug an play set up. you can find them on ebay

Okay, so I should just go to an autozone and buy a set of headlight bulbs for it? Just get them off ebay?
