Default Check out this Dakota

I just searched for "lifted dakota" and found this. Check out the suspension on this thing (probably not worth it since it's a 2WD), but still it's cool.

Yeah well you wouldn't drive it on the road so it's probably not that big of a deal as long as it was geared correctly. And yeah, that spoiler is pretty lame.

Truth in labeling. It claims 4x2 but sure looks like there's a transfercase. The driveshaft angles are downright scary though....

TIRES AND WHEELS NOT INCLUDED AT THIS PRICE, 8 LUG AXLES, HUGE LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION, LOW MILEAGE LOTS OF POSSIBILITIES AND WE CAN PUT TOGETHER SEVERAL TIRE AND WHEEL CHOICES FOR YOU. TRUCK WILL CLEAR UP TO 54 BOGGERS PHOTOS SHOW 49 IROKS ON VEHICLE....THIS TRUCK IS NOT STREET LEGAL, IS BASICALLY A PILE OF PARTS STUCK TOGETHER AS A ATTEMPT AT A PROJECT.

Yeah that spoiler is stupid. I just thought it was kind of crazy to see a Dakota this high, but if I were going to take the time to do something like that, I'd make sure it was a V8 and 4x4 (I didn't see a 4x4 shifter in the cab, this year was before the electronic ones)

Yeah it was probably originally a 4x2. If you're going to build a truck like this you would end up swapping out the entire front end anyway so it makes sense to start with a 4x2. And you can obviously see a front axle and diff. Plus it says it has dana 60s.
