Here is my build thread.

03 Dakota "The Hustler"

Decided to start a build thread for my 03 Dodge Dakota. Story behind this truck, I had a decent Jeep XJ with a 4.7 stroker. It didn't fit 2 car seats very well. I found this truck at the end of my street for cheap with 107k miles. I have been building it for the last 2 years. Decided there is...

I dig the Dakota, what are the strengths and weaknesses of that platform? I don't know anything about them but I like the in-between size, seems big enough to hold a family but small enough to navigate trails.

Strengths are V8, manual or auto.. wide frame, driver drop transfer case (SD axles fit perfect) and a comfy full crew cab..
Weaknesses are there is absolutely nothing offered for them, you build everything. And I have a 140" wheelbase. Overall I'm happy. Especially the price Point when buying it.
