Jeepster25 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 This is my recently completed 1999 Dodge Dakota SLT. This kit is from Lindberg and is very simple. The model came as an extended cab but I decided to cut it down to make the regular cab version. I also modified the suspension to give it a little lift, you can see from the box that it sat a little low for a 4 x 4. The model and parts come prepainted but I repainted evrything to make the Dakota the SLT model with chrome bumpers. I had a lot of trouble with the painting since it's been extra humid in Florida recently.
JayC Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 That looks pretty cool! It's a nice, clean build. Time to dirty it up some!
RodneyBad Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Great looking truck Ya did a nice conversion. But now i see the one of the problems with that Lindberg kit. The window opening just looks off. but it is a dodge so what can ya say? Just lucky to have A dodge Dakota model.. Truck looks great and nice lift too.

It was my first time converting a model. I guess they did get the window opening off.
RodneyBad Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Looks like it was only off by a hair. but it does look great. Lucky me, the Dakota I had Was an Extra cab. Mine wasn't lifted but I squeezed 32"inch tires on it. An old project of mine.

RodneyBad Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 I like those wheels & tires, they look really cool! I got the wheels from a Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 80 with Sport Options. Not my model but the only one I could find on-line.
Lyn Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Nice! When I saw it my mind went to a truck I saw hauling hay on a horse farm. Very real looking truck there
