I find it hard to believe that the paint is fading after a season. I have had dakota's for over 2 years and they still look good. Before you make your purchase I would try to get to a show,store, or find someone that has some dakotas and just check them out 1st hand and if you have any question contact me and I will help you out. Also Dakota will stand behind it's products, so if there is a problem I would to see about getting it taken care of.So can you get the guys name and phone # and I would like to speak with him.

if i had the money i'd get the dakota's this thread is the first complaint i've ever heard about them ! as far as big foots , my buddy has some from a long time ago that he hauls on a sled and puts them in the back of the truck & they have less wear then my ghg's that are only a season old. the big foots don't have the detail and feel like there a ton {the ones my buddy has at least } but i've always heard of them to be durable.
