Default Recently acquired 2 dakotas...

...with less than 50k miles on each odometer! One is a 2000 SLT auto that my uncle bought new in 2000, and the other is a 99 sport 5sp I just pulled from a yard with darn near zero rust! And the best part is, I'm under 2k in both with minor repairs! I will share some pictures shortly, but figured if anybody could appreciate a couple of good finds, itd be the dodge forum! The 2000 will turn over 50k soon, as it's a sort of daily driver 3 miles to and from work. I've taken it on a couple of 350+ mile trips, and it averages 19-21 on the hwy, better than expected. The 99 has sat with gas in it since at least 2013, but she should start with week once I get finished with the injectors. Fuel pump got replaced and tank drained, injectors were 100% clogged. Been a long time since I've had a dakota, and glad to own another.

thankfully I have gotten a LOT of knowledge and know much more than I did 8 years ago as a dumb kid that ruined the first dodge, so these will be fun projects to tinker with.

here is the 2000 when it was brought home last November

here is the 99 after it was winched out of the yard. No rust!
