i'm surprised it wasn't seen by someone before it was stripped. these trucks aren't all that popular to begin with in some areas and even then with big red and black rims on them...

mine will be found right away if stolen. it s the only black first gen dakota in with 20 miles of my house and even then they'd have to stop for gas to get into the town(just the way i am).

sorry for your loss...

hell, I'll come up there and find the punk...i found out who was breaking into cars in my neighborhood...

yeah i figured worst case its the wheels and interior, but they took the windshield and rear glass, the tired v6 and transmission, makes no sense... new windshield can be had for 300 installed in my area....

i put out word when it went missing and a 1k reward for information leading to an asswhooping and repo of parts....

Sorry to hear that man, It was a very sick looking truck I loved the rims and interior, been wanting to do the interior for mine for quite a while though no good places up here. Ya in my little town I was the first guy to be driving a first gen dakota til all of the old farts had to buy one and copy mine. Though we also had one of them stolen up here we found it stripped and torched, but not as far as yours was, but luckily we manage to find the guy and gave him a little Albertan justice. He had to go to a different court room, since his wheel chair could not get up the stairs. Oh well, so what type of audio did you have in her??

cant remember because i did it all in steps, the box was built in a buddy's spare time as well. depending on how custom you go it can easily cost nearly a grand if you factor in materials, labour and equipment.

well heres my new dakota, almost everything i wanted, ext cab, 2nd gen, v8, 4x4 but its an auto, will probably swap that out when i swap out to the 5.9l. its got 180k kms on it, clean title and got it for 2k, only thing wrong is it needs a transfer case.

Yeah I'm pretty happy thy started at 2800 and I just made an offer and waited. I guess no one was interested in swapping in a new transfer case lol.
