I figured I'd toss up a new intro for the .00001% of the R/T population who hasn't heard of me through one of the various websites (aka using it as an excuse to get some post whorin' done).

I'm on my 4th Dakota R/T... There's a long series of stories why #1/2/3 have moved on to other owners, not going to bury everyone here again.

#1 - 2001 Silver CC R/T. Bought this one new from the dealership. A couple of years later I bought my 03 CC R/T so my (now ex) wife used it as her daily driver, then eventually traded it in for a car.

#2 - 2003 Black CC R/T. Due to a huge clusterfuck that popped up on my 01 Silver R/T after a service call at a dealership, I decided to start over with an 03 Black CC R/T. I bought it from a dealership with 6k miles, and drove it for almost 3 years. I ended up selling this truck so I could buy my 07 Charger SRT-8.

#3 - 2003 White RC R/T. I had an APS transmission built for truck #1. When truck #1 got sold, I transplanted it into truck #2. 1 month after the warranty ran out, the transmission died. Wayne @ APS promised me a "hookup" with a quick turnaround - instead it took almost 4 months and $1100 to get it back. During the big layover, I needed something to drive - ended up buying this truck from a local guy. I eventually sold it about 9 months later so I could buy my Charger SRT-8.

#4 - 1999 Black RC R/T. I sold both of my 03 R/T's so I could buy the Charger SRT-8. I have 3 kids, so the Charger was the ideal vehicle to purchase that could be a great daily driver but still have plenty of balls. I do miss my 03 CC R/T to a certain extent, but I don't regret buying the Charger. About 6 months after I bought the Charger, I heard through the grapevine (some crazy fucker from AZ) told me that one of our mutual friends was putting his R/T up for sale, so I snapped it up. It has a 408ci stroker, 2.02 R/T heads, 408 cam, F&B 55x52 TB, M1-4bbl, (going in next week) Spintech headers & exhaust, 4.56 gears, plus nitrous. I've done a number of cosmetic mods to it to closely replicate my 03 CC R/T, with some changes... More to come this year!

The 03 Black CC R/T. At first I had a polished/clear coated M1-2bbl, then sold it and had the blue one coated. The blue M1-2bbl was pulled & sold to you right before I sold the truck to buy the Charger.

Gimme mah fuel door back! lol

I am about to buy & powder coat another black door - hoping to find another one of those billet AMP Research doors instead of the Mopar cast alloy door or one of the cheap knockoffs out there these days. They can be bought through Westin, but they're horribly overpriced compared to what we paid ~5 years ago.

Better wear your Kevlar, might find yourself waking up down by Fremont St. with a knot on your head! lol

Then again, the 03 CC interior won't fit in a 99 RC... bleah.

Someday I might have some stuff processed... Mostly a matter of money

Dakota g33k has all of my old Phoenix Imaging parts, including the steering wheel - we did a complete interior swap. He also bought the Stampede kit from that truck.

Steve, did the Stampede R/T's come with badging on the doors like the rest of the trucks? i saw a stampede dakota the other day but couldn't figure out if it was an R/T or not.

I've never seen any stampede-specific badging. I know the 2003 R/T's did not come with any badges or stickers on the side doors, it wouldn't surprise me if the Stampedes didn't get any at all either.

The only way to tell the 3.7L/4.7L Stampede from the 2003 R/T is the stance (they don't have the R/T suspension) or the wheels (if stock). If someone slapped a Hotchkis suspension & R/T wheels on a 2003/2004 Stampede they would look identical to the 2003 R/T except for the tailgate decals.

oh ok. i thought they would still have the door/tailgate decals but wasn't sure. didn't even think to look at the stance.

If you're serious, hit me up via PM for what it would cost to buy it back... I can always pick up a Mopar cast alloy door for cheap and have it coated black while everything else is being done, but I'm somewhat sentimental about that door because the AMP Research group buy I hosted was something like the 3rd or 4th part I ever bought.
