UPDATE: Summer 2017 Dakota R/T 410 Dash is In!

[@noahadams156]

No lie this is the cleanest Dakota I've seen. I'm in the middle of building my 2000 "Scat pack" rendition of a durango. And this truck in the last 6 months has given me a huge amount of motivation to continue my build. Great job bro

[@mikemccabe7124]

noah adams please share it.. doesn't matter if it's when ur done but sounds like it's going to be epic like this one is

[@ochomuerte9161]

noah adams I’m actually just starting building my 02 Dakota 5.9 V8 working on the looks for now and probably April 2019 I might LS7 swap it

[@evanthomas7116]

Love the dokata's something different since everyone has chevy! Cleanest I've seen

[@TrucksNRats]

Very very clean. I like it. all the viper components makes it look so much better. Especially the interior. I loved the wrapped dash.

[@froddoyo]

that center console swap is pristine! all around really nice truck. the Viper theme is so cool.

[@Rinker44]

never seen such a clean and well thought out build. Well done man...

[@taylorm2399]

Thank-you! Lots of hours and planning to put this build together, so much more to go!

[@rubioo93]

That viper steering wheel looks awesome!

[@ironhead9507]

That's beautiful. I bought a 2000 dakota rt brand new, I sold it a few years later and I still regret it. I customized it similar to yours as far as look goes, I worked for a truck accessory company as an installer so got a good deal on everything. great job

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

Absolutely stunning my friend way nicer then my rt which is for the most part stock n def not filled with new viper n challenger parts lol I love love love this truck man

[@RDawg007]

Bro truck looks amazing. The detail in the stitching is incredible

[@shawnmyers3661]

I love how the rear cover sits flush with the edge of the bed. Instead of overlapping. Very clean very elegant

[@hidros1461]

That thing is a beast!! Cleanest dakota I have seen

[@phelps901]

Sweet truck! Swapping a 5.9 mild build out of my mud truck into a crew cab 4x4 Dakota. Wiring harness was a pain. Used to have a 4.7. Your engine bay is immaculate.

[@taylorm2399]

Thankyou!

[@noaht5191]

Bro….this is the absolute nicest Dakota I have ever seen in my life, hands down.

[@ShelbyCorGT500]

Sweet !!! Love the viper logo on the dash. Incorporating the 6 lug viper wheels also a bad ass touch

[@dodgerules6059]

I dont need to talk about you engine, but WOW... You made an awesome interior, perfect choices for every part... Congrats !!!

[@johnbrown2030]

On huge money pit and I love every bit of it ! Well done !

[@julioyoungsavageee5909]

I wanna make my truck look likes yours this is goals

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome Taylor :*: I would make My 98 Dakota sport 5.2L club cab just like this one but with air condition since it's a Florida truck. I replaced all the coolant hoses except the 1 that runs beneath the A/C compressor about 5 years ago

[@misterglock.4282]

I've always liked these trucks but this is one is sick

[@jamessilcox1192]

Gorgeous truck......very impressive!

[@sethpettman5491]

Duuuuude... absolute stunner.

[@yungSwagg72]

Not a dodge guy but brother you did a hell of a job on that truck I really like it

[@taylorm2399]

Thanks man!

[@Gabriel_Kendrick-Hardy.]

Thank you for the truck tour! I have a dakota myself, and I want to do the exact same thing with mine. If you dont mind me asking how much money in all have you put into your truck?

[@707Mikey]

Did the viper steering wheel bolt right up?

[@Jezl_]

Holy fucking shit! What a beautiful build! 😍

[@181suydam]

Awesome interior! How hard was it for you to integrate the Dakota Digital instrument panel? I'm looking at one for my Durango. Thanks!

[@prtyflywhitguy]

wow man you are doing an awesome job with this truck , love the dash alcantara and the cluster is fucking fabulous , all in all a clean AF ride and a very unique one of a kind truck , is there another update video available for when you are completely done everything? as you talked about doing more and finishing things in this video ?

[@taylorm2399]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gprFhXxrl9-Dm5Y

[@bobfleming8800]

Very nice Build!! What model is the Dakota Digital dash? Any big problems fitting it and making it work properly?

[@MGauto916]

I just bought both L and R front viper calipers rotors and spindle from a gen 1 viper for dirt cheap. How did you mount it? Or did you have to fabricated a bracket?

[@cory0702]

Man you have done a beautiful job with your dakota. Would you be willing to give some dash information with gauges. I'm converting mine to a hemi now from supercharged 4.7

[@DoRC]

Sid May The dash is a Dakota digital (company name) . Dakota digital makes a ton of different gauge and dash packages. If you get the right year computer you can use a stock Dakota cluster though. There's a bunch of info available about it.

[@cory0702]

Do R/C! Thanks so much

[@FrostyD3viL]

dude i love your r/t i have a 2000 4.7 and you just opened my mind to so many possibilities can't wait to see more vids i'm subscribing rn and would you be able to tell me the color of your paint job that red looks amazing!!!

[@jwtucker231]

You could have bought a used viper for what you've got in that dakota. I have an r\t also that I've had for 19 yrs so I get it but damn it looks good. I'm impressed.

[@marvel223]

What seats did you go with? Im going to start my 392 swap soon. Wheels are amazing love how you made it look so factory. Damn so nice

[@卂I-n3f]

My favorite style Dakota. Had a full custom 97 and I traded it for a full tube sharks drag car. I miss my dokaota sooooo much! If I could go back in time I would have kept it. I wish I could find it! It was custom painted pearl white with like a purple and yellow tribal pattern with a 318, Man I wish I could find it and buy it back

[@MGauto916]

How did you mount the viper calipers? Is there a mount online I can buy?

[@Gladiatorguy1998]

I’m no Dodge fan, but damn that’s a badass truck.

[@lleddu]

Amazing Dakota, congrats ! I’d like to change the steering wheels of my Dakota RT 2000. What model do you recommend ? Do I have to buy and adaptor or installation kit ? Thank you.

[@alejandrovalle2507]

OMG.. it's beautiful, is Tha the original Flame Red color? Wow!

[@Cumminsdaddy]

Alejandro Valle he said he got it repainted

[@williammorales3325]

Where did you buy the front bumper? Looks nice

[@DoRC]

Iove it. Dakotas have always been the best looking vehicles to me and this one's a goodun!

[@davert2676]

Did you have to do anything to the hubs to put viper rims on the truck?

[@56Superdude]

How much work did it take to switch the steering wheel?

[@IsraelCisneros210]

Where did you get that bed cover? I want to get something like that for my ram

[@juaniequintero3528]

Really tastefully done thank you for this video

[@erniesanchez9198]

Where did you Get the bed cover ?

[@sinister6.450]

Well fuckin done man! Absolutely beautiful

[@taylorm2399]

Thankyou!

[@jd2628]

Hey Taylor. You have done an absolutely amazing job with your truck. I am starting the build on my late fathers 98 and i would love to see your work and maybe get some inspirations from you.Truthfully I am not well versed with these vehicles although I have built many cars in the past but your truck brings that sparkle back to me that this truck did with my dad. He loved this truck. If you can help me bring this truck to your level and vision I would be most grateful and I know he would too. This truck is one of twelve made for the Molson Indy Vancouver and my pop loved it for almost twenty years so I want it to do the heritage proud and my papa.I live in Abbotsford BC. If your interested in being a part of this blank canvas to amazing hit me up. How can I get in touch with you? Cheers Josh

[@Davusbanuelos]

Wow looks beautiful!!! This kind of video opens my eyes on doing somany stuff on my 96 ram1500!

[@hectorcuevas4587]

What size are those rims and wheels?

[@ironhead9507]

is that an a.r.e low pro lid on the bed

[@gabrielsvlogz4024]

How did you fit the rims on the truck?? Cause the lug pattern is different

[@Gustavomtz1990]

Freaking jelly !!!!! Where did you get the wheels and instrument cluster?

[@mikemccabe7124]

Gustavomtz1990 "Dakota Digital" is the actual the name of the company that made the gauges and they have full digital or a classic analog look versions but it's still digital for accuracy like this truck's gauges are.. as far as the wheels they're dodge viper wheels the front rims on vipers come already @ 9"-9.5" wide so usually people get 4 fronts so u can still rotate the wheels plus u can do the viper brake upgrade after u get the wheels on cuz u need big rims to fit the viper brakes.. I don't have the Dakota digital but the viper wheels and brake upgrade I do have on my dakota and I love it

[@_.incredible_magnum._291]

Where's you get the bumper?

[@Starlite123]

Wow dude nice build... Back in 99 I thought my Viper key for my Dakota was cool! Nice looking Dak and I like your mods!

[@dodgerules6059]

Do your Viper Steerinh wheel bolt up or you need to use an adaptor ?

[@benjaminpreston5925]

Very impressed! I miss my 2000 R/T extended... blew the motor going 140. sold it to a guy that wanted to set it up for drag racing. #MoparOrNoCar

[@dustdabomb1332]

She bad awesome build hard to find people who actually customize there own stuff

[@alexquirino2007]

We're can I find the dropp kit for a 2000 dakota

[@kadeperalta2928]

What seat brackets did you use for the viper seats

[@4g63tom4]

Dude thats sick AF! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ehkawdoh]

Hi, Taylor i have 99 dodge dakota R/t v8 i want to rebuild like your truck how much money did you spend for that truck and i will save money and build like you.

[@taylorm2399]

I don't like to add up my receipts or think of how much is in this truck, but I'm sure I'm past 50-60g

[@ronin0294]

Damn alil out of my price range lol . but wouldn't mind a floor shifter instead of a coulem one. Pretty cool

[@alexg8460]

Taylor nice job very classy question what type of front bumper is that??

[@ochomuerte9161]

Alex G I believe the front bumper is either street scene or stillen

[@bigcountrymopar3351]

So damn clean!!

[@19jody72]

Did the rear wheels fit without spacers or what was required to get those to tuck?

[@taylorm2399]

spacers

[@hillbillydeluxejr.2587]

Do you still have that truck??

[@timothylopez4650]

Where did you go to get the console

[@Formerlywarmer]

Very nice. Love your style. Getting a motor done now to do the swap in a black RT extended cab. You just gave me a lil more motivation. MOPAR2YA

[@andrew1923]

I know it’s been five years and i currently have a Dakota the last truck my grandpa ever got to help me with and imma restore it as in words as dump money into it and make it super nice looking but another note I was wondering where could I buy a truck bed cover like yours that pops open bc I don’t wanna get one that rolls up or folds i want a nice one like yours and I can’t seem to find one thanks in advance

[@taylorm2399]

They dont make them anymore, youll have to buy one used. I bought mine used like 8 years ago

[@oldfitzy6916]

[@vinzetti22]

Badass truck.

[@matthewkinney5474]

Where did you buy the headlights?

[@MrMuffanga]

I want the interior you have. What did it cost to do the steering wheel, center console and cluster? You said you had a shop do it or did you do it yourself?

[@taylorm2399]

I had a shop do it, Lots of $$$$ not cheap lol

[@MrMuffanga]

Taylor M what did that cost?

[@jbearbruh]

Whered you get your cooling system setup from?

[@taylorm2399]

OEM

[@funnystuff1017]

[@xXHAMnCHEEZXx]

What hood are you using?

[@eliasmaldonado5390]

[@blkbird98ta]

[@davert2676]

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Wow what a clean truck. Never seen an R/T. Is it a 5.7 hemi

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Well if I watch further lol....

[@wiimaster3411]

can you tell me what carb you are runnin? does it need an adapter?

[@thesicillianbull]

Did u lower it ? Coil overs. Im trying to figure out how much i should lower mine to sit on 18x10 w decent rubber

[@taylorm2399]

Yes lowered, not coils

[@cjones3086]

What did you end up having to do to get the steering wheel to work? Did it bolt right up, or modification required if so what exactly did you have to do?

[@taylorm2399]

Bolts on

[@AndyB_LV]

How did you lower it I’m getting ready to lower mine and you’re at the ride height I’m looking for on my quabcab

[@jimbob5013]

to save money you can do it yourself cheap lowering blocks in the back and front cut springs every half coil you cut is 1 inch lower don't forget to get shorter shocks

[@evilstricker3922]

That is nice! Sweet et!

yo how do you find wheels for the Dakotas. i need h e l p

[@256broncosquad7]

they are viper wheels with spacers in the back if i am not mistaking

[@Cumminsdaddy]

Viper and Dakota have same bolt pattern

[@256broncosquad7]

Car Comedy there on the same frame correct

[@Cumminsdaddy]

Tyler Mott idk probably

[@mikemccabe7124]

Jimmy Gunshow ther is also companies out ther that make viper factory replicas so u don't have to spend as much just beware of replicas when shopping cuz ther can be companies that aren't focused on quality I used 4 viper front rims on mine so i could rotate them the fronts are 9"-9.5" wide pending what year, style and diameter u choose but same lug/bolt pattern so bolt right on I also did the viper brakes upgrade after wheels were on since the rims give the room needed for the bigger brakes

[@playnickplaylist]

Neato's lol! nice truck tho

[@stunnasam21]

Bro slap the Durango '03 rear end with disc brakes on there. Get rid of those drum brakes. I did it to mine, it's a direct swap. Took like 2 hours 👍
