Well some may have seen my posts once in a blue moon about my 92 dakota. Tranny blew and I don't have the room to pull it (just replaced the clutch aswell!) so I decided to sell it. Kind of glad I don't need to sand my crappy primer job down lol.

But I picked up a 98 dakota yesterday for 2000$ (has 196000 kms) CAD 3.9 5sp 4x4 same truck pretty much just a light blue.

I am going to install my roller rocker arms (pulled them out of my other truck before I sold it) and my hitch this weekend (I work on it on the street since my car is parked hence why I can't do a tranny r & r lol)
I have an exhaust, intake (just a 3' inlet filter going to fab something up), underdrive pulley kit, electric fans and some plugs and stuff on order from summit racing.

Anything I should think of replacing before I go too far into buying other junk? I am going to change most of the fluids pretty quick here.

 

dwaaaammmmm you have a skyline, F**K. one of my dream cars right there.

 

They are sick cars but not going to lie has less than 100k kms on it and have had to sink 8000$ (2000 of it was becuse I decided to slide it sideways into a curb...) in parts for repairs in the last 10k kms lol. Also didn't have a single mechanical flaw when I purchased it.

It is a 16 year old twin turbo awd car after all but still!

 

I would change every fluid axles,tranny,transfer case ect also check ball joints,tie rods,shocks,bushings,full tune up(plugs, wires,cap,rotor) Clean the throttle body pretty much after all that you should have a really good running truck.
