Default Just got a 1999 Durango to pull my Jetskis

Pickup a 1999 4x4 5.2 V8 about 96k miles to be used to pull a pair of jetskis got it for $1995.00, Was using my 2010 SRX Caddy
So need something that I could get wet and with the saltwater here
live in the Penascola, Fl

Someone changed out the wheels for 22" chromes tires are in good shape
order new lugs for all around was missing a few (lol)
no radio or speakers will fix that soon
a few dents, windows all work, missing the remote for locks.

Any thing you all think I need watch out for? fix?

Thanks

Front bushings and rubbage and potholes. Buddy had big rims and it gave him fits. Read the FAQ for trailer brake hook ups and you should be good.

Welcome! 22's lol that is so Florida! If your going to use it for towing then i would say a smaller rim would be a good thing, and if they are chrome and you take it in the ocean they wont look good for long! But otherwise nice buy!

+1 to this.

The stock alloys are really good looking wheels and fit the look of the vehicle nicely.

If you want a plus size option you can look into getting the 17" rims that came on the r/t models, they are nice! Otherwise the 15" rims are the best option.
