Welp got the wiper situation fixed, cleaned out the garage. Now it has a nice dry place to sit instead of being outside in the winter weather as much as possible gonna try and fix the tailgate today. Also fixed the thermo housing leak. Just tightened up the hose as much as I could lol also got in a lil trouble yesterday, was riding around and goofing around with a buddy in her car and me in my dakota. Was just having a good time, ya know racing, squealing tires etc I think the security guards at the tech college headquarter (where we were, their parking lot is Hugh and usually open) didn't like it too much, so they chased us away sort of Ahahahaha

 

Got new fog lights installed under hood.

 

 

Nice Dakota....I would love to have a long box Dakota. Just too let ya know that according to your pic the front rims are on the wrong sides. the rears are facing the right way....sorry to be picky but I used to work at a tire shop and seen so many people come in with the directional rims like this on the wrong way( they go one way to cool the brakes). And the customers always asked why the brakes are getting so hot and wearing out so fast. They will say what side of the vehicle they go on on the back side of rim.(right or left). This is just an FYI so you know for the future.... Good luck with your Dakota as it looks really nice

 

Yeah I have noticed that, just never got around to correcting it lol it doesn't get drove much and I'm still tinkering around with it before winter arrives. I'll prob end up fixing it today haha

 

I just thought I would let ya know and again thats a very nice Dakota. some day I will get my project done. I am working on a xtended cab and I welded a long box on it to make it 1 of 1 Dakota(something Dodge should have made) here is a pic of it after I welded the two halfs together and before I took the body completely off the frame to get it sand blasted and start from ground up with everything new....

 

Thanks man, I actually switched the wheels around today and also cleaned em off also bleed the breaks and took her out for a spin, hopefully new tires sometime around Christmas and that's a good looking dakota you got there man, can't wait to see it finished either!

 

Welcome my brother!!
