the jeep is gone and miss it everyday but its time to move on. Time to build up the new truck. i wanted a frame and v8 this time so i skipped cherokees and bought my buddies 95 4wd dakota with a v8. already gutted and has a cage. Ive got my dana 44 and ford 9" on jackstands and its ready to go to town. plan to have the front under by friday night. pics will come tomorrow but here is a teaser pic.

nice, think you'll be able to keep this right side up?

looks like a great starting point. it's got the 5.2L right?

so what are the plans? dovetail, sans rear window for a roll cage?

rear bedcage with removable bedsides, ori airstruts come feb so link it up, rcv front shafts, 35" general grabbers or the 37" sticky krawlers im getting for general wheeling. 318 is all stock for now. looking at cam and headers.


funny you say, i went to the splendora offroad park to do some testing on there track. lets just say there turns are REAL tight........lol. it was close.
