I just found out that the dakota was hit in the drivers side of the bed, with a 2 foot dent in it[:@] My sister had it parked on the side of the road at her boy friends house and I always told her something was going to happen with it parked there, but of course she didnt listen. So now when she gets home im gonna take a look at it and see if its anything that can be knocked out, but I guess the paint was chipped too, im not quite sure what went down and I will get some pics up later.

 

You own the Dakota yourself? I though you were 14.

BTW... Sorry to hear about the damage to the dak.[]

 

Yeah... that sucks.... thats what you get for lettin a woman drive it... LOL... J/K... I'm gonna teach my gf to drive a manual (my truck) this weekend...

 

dont expect the clutch to last, and dont take her up any hills bc you WILL lose either the clutch or all the tread on your tires

 

Hahaha... yeah well I'm gonna teach her to drive a stick right LOL... and my clutch won't wear out that fast... as far as the tires... they're still Stock POSs that have been on my truck for about 20,000 so.... I don't expect them to have enough tread for this winter anyway... so I'll be replacing them soon... with some good winter tires... :-D

 

YEAH GO WITH SOME MICHELINS! THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE MY TRUCK WELL...BUT WHEN I GET MY 20'S ON MY TRUCK I'M GONNA PUT SOME MICHELINS ON THERE AS WELL!

 

I didn't say I owned the dak, but I am the one that does maintenance on it, and I am going to have to get down there and get rid of that dent [:@]

I looked at it last night, didn't get a chance to take pics but it looks like someone just came too close and scraped across the taillight and pushed in the panel for about sixteen inches, but it looks like I can pop it out and not be able to tell too much, except for the chipped paint on the very edge where it meets the taillight [:@]

Oh and stick driving, I learned this summer in a 96 S-10 2.2L 5spd, I actually kind of liked the truck. It only took me about ten minutes before I could drive it without stalling, then drove it everyday for about three weeks and I would say I got a hang of it pretty good.

 

I had a post a little while back about loading up the dak, I never got a chance to post pics so here are a few:










I figured we had about 1700 pounds in there, not bad for a little dak

 

thats nothing lol 2664 lbs

 

I re-calculated and got 2100 They both look even squated though.
