Joe Wagner's 2000 Dodge Dakota

2000 Dodge Dakota Sport Stylin’ Trucks sales rep Joe Wagner goes to work everyday selling what he loves…cool stuff that make trucks look good and go fast! As the new owner of a 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport 2-wheel drive 5-speed with all the fixins’, he understands firsthand the passion people feel for their trucks.

“What sold me on this truck was its unique style,” Joe explained. “I knew it would make people stop and look.”

The previous owner took great pride in this vehicle and added many sweet enhancements including:

  • Interior: tweed dash; air gauges molded into the center section, where the middle air vents normally are; tweeters flushed into the headliner; Nu Image platinum gauges; and a Chris-Cross billet rearview mirror.
  • Exterior: shaved tailgate handle, gas door, and rear lights; Line of Fire light bar; clear corner lenses; billet main grill and billet bumper grill; and a Reflexxion cowl induction hood.
  • Performance: High-flow intake system.
  • Suspension: DJM lower control arms; Firestone double convoluted air bags in front and rear; custom 4 link in the back; SMC ½” valves and ½” lines; two Viair 450 compressors; and two 5-gallon tanks.
  • Wheels & Tires: Kuhmo tires wrapped around 18” Centerline Longboard Wheels.
  • Stereo: RE Audio RE Series 6.5” component set; Cadence q3000 amplifier; and a Pioneer premier 860 head-unit.

As a result of all of the customizations, this truck was awarded trophies at various shows and was even pictured in an issue of Mini Truckin’ magazine.

A man’s truck is never done, however, and Joe has big plans for taking his Dodge Dakota Sport to the next level. “I just built a custom center console that has a subwoofer box, arm rest, cup holders and a switch box holder all in one.

“I have too many other projects to name, but off the bat I really want to finish up the interior tweed work as well as the sheet metal in the bed to give it a sharper look. Then, I will throw a color-matched Gaylord’s x2000 tonnaeu cover  on top.”

And that’s not all folks. Joe also dreams of finishing work on his ’51 GMC ¾ ton truck that is currently in shambles in his garage.

Unfortunately, working full-time and going to school part-time doesn’t give him much free time but at least Joe is excited about his future career. “I’m going to school for management and graphic design and can’t wait to expand these skills at work.”

Hopefully, Joe will continue to showcase his talents at Stylin’ Trucks!

Nice job Joe! That's a hot looking truck and I can't wait to see it parked all cockeyed at our truck show in September! Keep up the good work. Or keep buying the good work that other people did. Either way, nice truck!

It is actually just the factory one, with night shades. I plan on updating to the smoked IPCW LED third brake light we have.
