Everything but power seats! I've got Power windows and Locks, plush interior, tilt wheel, and a phat alarm!

Additional info:

It's black, and the paint has held up surprisingly well. I've got minimal flaking off...for now. I think it looks pretty good for a 10 year old truck. It's got the "sport" rims, which are faded and nasty looking, but they work, so I'm fine.

Pictures description:

My Dak from front and from the back! The tips have been replaced by 4" tips, not the 3"ers you see in the shot. I also have a new airdam with light holes in it. Other than that, that's what she looks like...when it's clean anyway =)
