Good Morning Conrad!
Yahoo....another manual owner!! Congrats on your purchase :) I purchase my
first Dak on April 2, 1992. Yes, she is approaching her 11th birthday! She
has been retired as my daily driver since the purchase of her bigger
brother, the '01 Club Cab, but still running strong. The 3.9L is a quality
engine. (So is the 4.7L for that matter ;) )
Feel free to check our the archives for many past discussions. I am not a
heavy mod kinda guy, but more of the best practices for maintenance. There
is a great cross-section of people here that will gladly lend a hand.
Enjoy your SXT!!

Howdy!
A week ago today, I purchased a new '03 Dakota SXT Club Cab, Gray (or
"Graphite Metallic" in marketing talk), 6 cyl, 5 speed. It's the first
truck I've ever owned, my previous vehicles being all sports or sporty cars
(Mazda RX7's to be exact). But, the more I drive it, the more I like it! I
can finally haul a full sheet of plywood from the Depot without cutting it
into 4 pieces! :)
I've got the Line-X bed liner going in on Monday, but I'd also like to get
a tonneau cover in either new or near-new condition. I've been looking
around at the sub-$200 soft tops and it looks as though the Saddleman cover
with the "Flip Lock" fits the bill. I don't have the part number handy...
Anyone have good or bad to say about this one?
I think I'll be in this truck for the long haul, so to speak, so hopefully
I'll eventually gain enough knowledge to be a contributing member of the
list instead of just a lurker...
Thanks in advance!
-Conrad
