In this video, we transform my rare 2002 Dodge Dakota RCSB, powered by the factory V8 and 5-speed manual, into the sexiest daily driver imaginable! We do fabrication work, paint work, and let me tell you- It has never looked this good!
Love you all!

​@@JenniferRobinson-fn2mf Who knows, but I hope my kids get to watch this content. In 15 years most car channels are going to be "how to overvolt/overclock your battery" EV videos 👎👎👎👎👎

[@jacobwebb8818]

@@electricbacon97epic47 yep. Not a pretty sight to see 🫣 I'll be teaching my kids how to clutch dump my GTO when I have them though. I'll teach them the realities of cars, not some made up legislation that mandates EVs when the world isn't ready for it. The amount of damage we're causing the earth just mining nickel and cobalt is insane, this world is not ready for EV's. Especially with how inefficient they still are. You need 800 pound batteries just to move a car just to have to charge it up again anyways. Not to mention that's 800 pounds of resources out of mines we are getting from this Earth. Instead of recycling or reusing old cars we're forcing out new ones. If you think EVs are even slightly okay, look at the child mines in Africa with captains running them with AKs making sure the kids work from sun up to sun down with no breaks, then tell me EV's are good cars I wish legislators and politicians seen the consequences of their actions

Definitely should put the center cut out back in that wing looks so much better

[@waltsworld2311]

I’ve never wanted a small truck until Tom put me on all the possibilities

[@cavalierliberty6838]

My 96 5.2 is a beast. It'll lose traction even with wider tires like a freight train on a mountain. I just wish I had overdrive.

[@fadedjate7230]

You could even get the 5.9 in the Dakota. The 5.9s are getting pretty rare now, though.

[@henryandbentley7950]

You just built my first truck!! Exactly to a tee! I had put 20” wheels on it and didn’t put the wing on. Did tint 35/15 to keep it legal but the 20% tint looks better. Great looking truck!

[@ddi_spec]

needed this for my "ipad kid time" (as the wife calls it) during lunch at work

[@billbong156]

Truck looks awesome. The perfect little daily. Not sure I'm feeling the wing/spoiler on the back but very cool truckl

[@elishorts4910]

If the door handles are plastic you can lightly hit them with a propane torch and they will go back to a black color instead of looking grey, I've done it with some of my things that were originally black and it works almost perfect

[@Jacobtheunwise]

Doesn't last in the long run. It just takes the oil out of the plastic and pushes it to the surface

[@sergeantsilly-pantsjackson1942]

makes the plastic brittle.

[@dgage1776]

It melts the dried plastic and created a new layer​@@Jacobtheunwise

It's so cool how the *little* things can have such a HUGE impact...I try telling my wife that all the time!

Ngl those black wheels you have sitting in front of the shop would look dope af on that Dakota. Those specifically might be to big obviously but the same just smaller would be 🔥

[@loganboyer8816]

To whom it may concern, i turned off a vice grip video to watch this. And i dont regret it. Lol

Thanks!

[@budlake5577]

Hey Tom, I just got done building a 4.7l couple of tips. One find some E85 dual spark plug heads. Two H.O. cams, three dome pistons, if you've got big ones😂😂

[@zinnmaster9135]

Building my 4.7 now. I'm using the 08+ cams. Shorty headers, and some H.O. pistons. Using the stock heads but they have been ported and polished. Are you referring to the 3 dome pistons as the H.O.pistons?

[@skipperjenkins7651]

Im not even a Durge guy, but thats one sweet Dakoter

[@CarConnoisseur_SS]

That truck goes tuff🔥🔥 i saw one for a few years every day while going to my old highschool, it was green and with a bed cap but still caught my eye. Hopefully i can secure one like it one day.

[@jasonbose3507]

THANKS FOR CREATING THESE VIDEOS TOM! The jokes and high vibe energy really makes my day. Also, your fun and entertaining, a real plus! I hope that you have a great day today 😎 🌞. Great video 📸. Thanks.

[@SmudgyContent]

Had a 01 sport, 4.7L 5speed manual. Also was FurXFur. Called it the black cat. 🐈‍⬛ would climb and crawl through anything. Probably because that factory 3.92 9&1/4 LSD rearend.

[@eddiecampbell9661]

Can’t lie Toms skills are awesome, and u can tell he can detail cars but I wish he had something with serious speed. Like making the truck actually have hp and not something that keeps up with traffic

[@RealJaybeeMusic]

sometimes it ain't about speed, that's kinda what I like about Tom, like his cars are NOT the fastest thing in the world but its about having fun and he def has fun with his cars

I’ve acquired a rcsb 5.2/5 speed as well as rcsb R/T They are fun trucks, glad to see the Dakota getting some love

[@notlabs]

whenever ur spreading the buffing compound out the buffer on a slower speed instead of smearing it around. it works it in the paint more and spreads more evenly 😊

[@moosey4015]

U should snag up a nice plasma cutter as much metal as you cut. I like mine more than my cutoff whee, Quicker to blast it out with the plasma and just clean it up real quick with a mop disc

I hate math 13:38 Never grind near the glass on a vehicle. It will leave marks. Mess up the rear glass on a GMC Sierra working on the frame while i had the bed off. The soarks were hitting the rear glass and left little marks all over it.

I like seeing these older motors getting build rather than the common engine swap.

[@Supersend420]

Ngl I'm so glad you made a video of one of these trucks bc they are absolute units if you take care of them you can beat on them but as long as you fix the simple lifter tick and if it's a high mile motor I'd recommend replacing timing chain rails bc there plastic and will cause failure iykyk

[@alwaysgridin23]

Best automotive KZbin channel out rn 🙏🏽💪🏽

[@dakotafolkins1389]

Tom you have no idea how long ive been waiting for this video

[@MrLowprofile13]

If you want to add more power i swapped the intake manifold from a 08 4.7 believe it was and a ported throttle body. As wells as Gibson headers. For the intake manifold you're going need to either buy a adaptor kit or make one because the newer 4.7's are throttle by wire not cable so the throttle body's are different.

[@fifthlomat717]

Now it just needs a 360 magnum swap, put some flat top pistons and a Hughes engines cam in it and run it with a holley terminator x

[@cleonituk]

Better yet a hellcat swap

[@masterchavez3337]

Tom Tom! The Blood of the child healed the car!!

[@IIIBoaz]

that thing looks so much better! aside from the front bumper it looks aggressive now, good job

[@jesseleighton4194]

Cool little truck bud. A color matched front bumper would set it off 👌

at 13:30 when he dropped the steel sheet i covered my ears instinctively

08' 4.7l intake and cams will add a good amount of power to it. As well as some beehive valve springs.

1:11 Or in it...Tom, did you cheat on Noise Complaint?

[@generaljedi3544]

i used to think that trucks look better lifted but as i watch tom over and over again i relized that everything looks better lowered or slammed.

[@benjaminkadron]

Dakota's have always been the sickest looking little trucks... when you inevitably grenade the 4.7 you should do a 5.9 swap. Everything should be basically drop in.

[@kamronpowell5784]

20:56 watching this gives me flash backs when I wrecked mine 😂

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Tom put a headliner in the Decoder would make the interior match the rest of the truck

[@SpeedyGeneralMotorsINC]

Also please bring back the S10 we all want to see you bring it back to life either with a V8 or another 2.2

[@cavalierliberty6838]

If it's another 2.2, there unfortunately is not much more power he can make out of it. The 2.2 even with a turbo can't barely get out of its own way in an S10.
