What a beautiful blue... well, I hope you take comfort in your Riot. :(

Thanks , well in a twist of fate after i took the money for the sale of the truck a few hours ago, i came home and in the mail was the chrome grill insterts for the Patriot , so i guess it all worked out for the best!

I can see where that would be hard to get rid of. It's beautiful indeed.

One of your improvements is something I would like on the Pat (assuming a 3rd party would make them...)
The clear lens on the turn signals. I love that clean look (we had it on our Mini) and we used Silverstar bulbs to add to the effect.

Any 3rd party manufacturers listening???

Nice looking Dakota, and good luck with the Pat.

I have done the same thing. I sold my 1999 Dodge Dakota, Intense Blue, Club Cab, 2WD, 3.9 V6 to get the Patriot (which I am still waiting for). I wrote a check for $16,275 (which is the biggest personal check I have ever written) after I graduated from college. I have kicked myself for a long time because I did not wait to get a Quad Cab (came out in the 2000 model year). If I had, I would still be driving it (now need to have a real backseat so little Leah can ride in daddy's "truck").

I love that Intense Blue color. I was hoping that the Surf Blue would be similar, but alas it is too bright for my wife's taste. So I will be settling for a Steel Blue.

Here's to hoping that our new rides give us as much joy as our old ones. :beerchug:

Great truck Joseph! The real big reason i went shopping for a new "truck" in the first place is my first child is due march 25th hehe ..I needed a daddy mobile with an attitude and i found it in the Patriot!
