Default My '94 Dakota update

I'm getting back from vacation and decided to start getting my truck in top working order. I put on a set of Cooper Discoverer ATR 235/75R15 tires. I got the tires pretty cheap ($420 otd) from a buddy of mine who knows a guy who owns a tire shop. He upgraded those for me to extra load and no additional charge.

I also ordered a full set of Rancho 5000 shocks from Summit Racing and installed those yesterday. Thanks to the thread here about installing shocks I was able to install them myself w/o any problems.

I can't begin to tell what a great resource this forum is but, I try as hard as I can. My brother-in-law just bought a new Dodge RAM 4x4... a whole other story there. I turned him on to the site encase he is looking for info or be able to contribute.

Anyway, thought I would post some pics of the progress. Couple of things to work on next:
1) Air bag light is staring me in the face (checked fuses all good)
2) Cruise control doesn't work (checked fuses all good and vacuum lines all good)
3) Change out all the dry rotted suspension bushings
4) PAINT!

New tires and meet Grizz my chocolate lab "best dog ever!"
