Administrative section
The top portion of this form is treated differently than the bottom portion. The info up here is used by the software, and is technically not a part of your profile. This is why you must enter your Name and e-mail address twice. Its mildly annoying, but I think its a small price to pay. Just cut 'n paste. :-)
Your Name (in "lastname, firstname" format):

The following math question must be answered correctly in order for the changes to your profile to be processed:

If it isn't already filled in, please enter your unique ID below.
Profile section
This is the second portion of the form. All of the fields below are optional. If you don't want to fill in a particular field, then don't! :-) Any fields that you leave blank won't even show up on your profile when people view it. A few of the fields on this form are special. Whatever you enter into these special fields will become a hyperlink. What you enter will be the destination of the link, as well as its description. You can have more than one item in these fields. A space or a carridge return will separate them. These fields will be marked with this annoying LED:
(And you will like it!!!) ;-)

Additional comments:
Creator & maintainer of the Dakota Mailing List and the DML Home Page. I'm not really into the "Kool Kolors" or "looks" aspects of sport trucks. Yeah, my truck has some aggressive styling cues, but its got the bite to match its bark; I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not really into the sleeper look either, although I appreciate them a lot more than the ever present "phat" gutless wonders featured in the sport truck magazines. My eventual goal is 11's in a streetable, daily driven Dak. I plan to hang on to this truck forever. :-)

In Progress:
creating a permanent ram-air box to make my hood functional (You can only go so far with cardboard and duct tape) ;-) Electric tailgate lock Roll pan 4bbl TB Twin Turbochargers On-board computer with mapping, GPS tracking, OBD-II scanner, mp3 music system, etc.
Planned:
Holley Laser Shot Coil Holley Strip or Pro Strip Annihilator Ignition electric fan pre-oiler low oil pressure engine cutoff high flow injectors 2/3 inch drop 4.10 gears 904 or 727 competition transmission w/reverse pattern, manual valve body, and transbrake driveshaft loop stronger rearend (8.75", 9.25" or Dana 60) stronger driveshaft (aluminum?) Mild tub, move springs in a little bit (maybe convert to coil-over eventually), shorter axles, with some bigger tires and rims (235-245 series on the fronts, 300-400 series on the rears) electric club cab windows and possibly an electric sliding rear window change dash lights to a less annoying color white face guages 360ci twin turbocharged mill FP Performance SEFI8LO fuel injection system (Or Accel Gen 7.0) Also a gaggle of tiny little tweaks and mods that float in and out of my brain on occasion. :-)
What would you do to your truck if money were no object?
Hmmm, probably a fuel injected, twin turbocharged, intercooled 528 HEMI crate motor, along with a Dana 60 rearend and a beefy manual valve body auto or a Lenco 6 speed.. What I'd really like is a bunch of Daks for doing different things... A pure racing Dak that would run 8's or 9's, a monster 4x4 offroading Dak, a towing Dak to pull my racing Dak...

Extra:
Here's a section that I thought some of you may want to take advantage of... You can post pictures, sounds, and videos of yourself, your truck, etc. You can do this in two different ways. First, you can have this stuff on your own server and enter its URL in the boxes below.
(Don't forget the leading "http://"!)
Another way is to enter a filename in the boxes below, and then send that file to me. I'll make it accessible on my server. You can get these files to me by sending them as e-mail attachments to
