Additional info:

My truck is my daily driver, as well as my weekend recreational vehicle. As a result of the recreational part it is a little scratched up and has a few dents. I take this thing where alot of people won't take their old beaters, so I guess I deserve what I get. I love the truck though..... before I had an S10 with a 4 banger, I hated that thing with a passion. Couldn't be happier with my Dakota however.

Mileage:

40,000

Modifications in progress:

Building custom grille guard to house a Mile Marker Hydrolic winch, and a pair of KC Daylighters.

Planned modifications:

Installing a Tuff Country 5.5" Lift, Aftermarket Rims with 35 inch Super Swamper Boggers, Ram Air hood, K&N Filter, new gears and ARB Air lockers front and rear (IF they ever make them for this truck, the way it looks I'm going to have to go with a Lock Rite), replace the 318 with a built 360, perhaps a solid axle swap as well.

If money were no object:

I'm already doing what I would do if money were no object, it's just happening VERY slowly due to constraints.
