Great looking Dakota there, Grave! Just like mine, except mine is extended cab and 3.9. Yes, these are easy trucks to love!

She looks pretty solid, good paint yet to boot. Good find!

Yeah, still good on gas too. About 14-15. I do have some cosmetic work to do but thats understandable for the age. And all in all I will take the rumbling of a V8 Dakota over my old V6 Stratus R/T any day.

Tell me about it. I have been looking at wranglers for the past eight years and I have always loved their body styles, but this was something that screamed at me!(even with all her quirks!)

Lol I know all too well about quirks...the grumpy old guy I drive is a 93', just rolled 220k last night and have been in the truck since it rolled off the lot new.

Yeah and she continues to surprise me. I apparently have a dome light and a light around my ignition. Just popped on last night. The whole thing about surprising me every day. I am starting to like the swap
