Looks like a fun machine to do donuts in. I think your license plate is on wrong, though.

My brother had something similar, his was extended cab. A V8 little truck with a built motor is so much fun.

Looks like a blast for sure. If you're ever around Butler, I've got a Trans Am lurking in the garage with a little whine under the hood.

Sweet truck! I have a deep thing for that generation of Dakota. It's an awesome truck to drive. Makes me miss my old buddy...

I got lucky. I had mine for 3 years and zero issues, except the wheel bearings going bad every 4 months cuz of the 2" wheel spacers. LOL It all stopped once i stuck the black wheels on it.

Are you giving rides, like at the carnival???

I kept my stock wheels and stuck 31's on them. Never had a bearing issue. In reality I didn't change the wheels cause you don't see Dakota wheels on CL very often and I'm to cheap to pay full price.

How much extra horsepower does that Monstertach add? lol...

XJ_Sean
04-09-2013, 02:58 PM
the monster tach is rated at 12 extra hp and the giant shift light (that could land an aircraft in a snow storm) adds 3 more hp.
