Hooniverse Christmas Eve Edition – A 1993 Dodge Dakota Christmas Truck to spread Good Tidings
Hooniverse has the best fans on the planet. They are well read, culturally diverse, and are real car fanatics. And here is another example. We received this tip from Reid (Thanks Man!) showing how he decorated his truck for the Christmas Holiday. Make the jump to see more pictures, and what he told us about how this truck is the perfect Hooniverse vehicle…
According to Reid:
My apologies for not leaving this picture in the comments of the Christmas decoration post. I am not terribly technically savvy, but I thought you might appreciate my 93 Dakota this season. It has garnered a lot of friendly waves and thumbs up. I can send a couple of more if you like it. The Dakota is a perfect Hooniverse vehicle, I got it from my best friend for free and it runs a V6, 5 speed and is a strippo (rubber floor mats, hand crank windows, etc.).
Looks great Reid, and thanks for sharing. If you all have forgotten about Rob’s question to whether or not your car is dressed for the holidays, use the link and go back and read all the great responses. So, what do you think about Reid’s Truck?

Sweet rig!
Speaking of diversity, there was a Jeep Wrangler tooling around Oakland yesterday with a HUGE menorah on the roof. 4 dudes were inside with the windows rolled down, yelling Happy Hanukkah.
It's nice to see the rusted hood look on something different than the same old slammed VW with a roof rack.
I kid, I kid. The truck looks great, and another thumbs up for the free-ness! My personal super spouse frowns upon automotive decorating, otherwise I might try to challenge you Griswald style.
If you don't tell her what kind of babies to have, she should leave the car decisions to you.
That's quite hilarious, since all my kids, despite being girls, look pretty much exactly like cuter versions of me, and not at all like my wife. Once she even got asked by the pediatrician, "You are the (pause) mother?"
So I guess I do tell her.
A free truck! That's awesome! A free DODGE truck…that's awesome +1!
Sorry, but a strippo oxidized manual Dakota strikes me as positively pagan.
My friend's 412whp, GT35 turbo, air-ride, custom-bodywork Jetta show car.
With a antlers and a reindeer nose. LOL.

It reminds me of my former boss's old truck. His was an automatic, but also a low-trim '93 with the 3.9.

Naturally, I approve. I always liked that thing, particularly given its surprisingly rust-free nature – for comparison's sake, one of my current cow-orkers has a '95ish Sport with large portions of the outer bed missing.
