Default Wheel Hop

Wheel hop sucks! I was climbing a sandy hill this afternoon and the backend was bouncing so much I almost had to stop. Just annoying. Thought I'd let you a-holes know.

maybe if you had a real truck instead of a yelo one, this would not happen. i get that alot when i am at the track coming off the line. no one makes a traction kit for our trucks. they stop at 03

Yellow gives me +50 extra eye horsepower. Maybe that's where the wheelhop is coming from.

If you ever have one fabricated have them make a few extra and sell them to other Dakota owners, I bet you wouldn't have any trouble selling them.

I like how the admin, on other threads, like to get the last smartass comment in before they lock it. Power trip...

And what threads would those be Baracis? In some cases, the Admin should be the only ones with the final word, as it means someones got out of hand....

If i get bored I'll make a list. It's one thing ending a thread and stating why. It's another to be a smartass and then lock it. Also, its great how some post on every thread with like 5 words. I don't know if that's just to get their post count up or what...
