My before and after of my first attempt with a second gen. Clearly the after was not fun to see.

Heres my 2000 dakota that Ive been working on for the last 8 months. 3 inch body lift, 2 inch rear blocks and 2 inch "torsion bar"lift with 33x12.5x15's on the stock rims with 1 and 1/4 inch wheel spacers......which still rub just a bit sometimes. Built a new rear bumper and a back rack.....which now has a 42 inch light bar on top....next is some body work and paint once winter is over. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...73206e1c76.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...5f8699f531.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...908ef2fbd6.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...31f9c357e0.jpg |

Work in progress
So this weekend I painted my truck using raptor liner. It took three long days to strip down, fix rusted panels, prep, spray and rebuild. I've had the truck for about ten months now and I've personally resealed the motor and transmission, tune up and added a k&n filter on the already installed aftermarket intake tube. It also already had headers and exhaust. raised it 2.5" , new tires, front end bushings, ball joints, and shocks. I plan on doing another 2" body lift and putting my 33" on it. I'm in the process of building a 4bt motor for it. So like I said it's a work in progress but it has a great home.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...a098478c05.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/dodgefo...0724f0c6a1.jpg New LED's for the dying OEM ones. I am trying to find a picture of before, but it was in BAD shape. Rocker panels and wheel wells all rotted out, headliner fall apart, rusty bumpers, leaking windshield gasket, the list goes on and on. Here she is with all rush cut out and new steel. New bumpers, headlights, condenser, etc. To protect it from the Northeast elements I went ahead and Rhino lined the rockers, flares and grill. A few more things to do (replace ball joints and shock) and she be all set. |
