Yeah I got the Cummins as well. I have drove the Dakota quite a bit. Haven't done much for off roading with it yet though, been to dry to go mudding.

I'll get a video of it in action next time I get out mudding.

Got a ram 2500 from my uncle for dirt cheap, as he can no longer drive.

Here's a few more pic's for you guys. Been to hot and dry to get out mudding, but as soon as I do, I'll give you guys a review on how it does, and some pics of course.

Oh and don't mind the wheels, I need to take the plasti dip off the front two wheels yet, some of it peeled off when I was mounting the 35's. Going to be getting new wheels and tires in the next month or so. I'm looking at getting Black Rock Type 8 wheels (17x9) and a set of 315/70/17 Tread Wright Guard Dog MT's.

Here's a link to the wheels, their similar to Crager Soft 8's but IMO look better.

With those large wheels, how are you compensating for things like speedometer errors, shift points, and lack of low end torque (diff gearing)?

4.56 gears as i said in first post. The other issues I can take care of at work. reflash the pcm. Not really worried about the speedo though, I have a GPS that can tell me my speed.
