LOL, well if I end up in a city like Edmonton I will have to build a 4x4 Swamper Blown Beast!

In truth the G3 Dakota is dying. Only a handful of sick G3 Dakota's are out there. It would be cool to see a renewed interest in pride in our trucks. I never see G3s at the track, car shows, etc.

I'm tired of the 5.9 guys telling me there isn't another G3 Dakota on the planet that can touch mine. I want to see more like mine! Its one thing to have the look, its another to steal the show!

I can promise you that. We are almost finished with it!

Now were talking! I remember the early days of my SOVA truck club. We would roll to the track, truck shows 20 Dakotas strong. I would love to see those days again.

Look at any forum, almost all the serious mods are done on G2s even the 4.7L G2's are rocking it.

Wanna do a supercharger at some point. I had originally went to the dragstrip just to see what it would do, but now im hooked. I want to go faster! Only other "cheap" mod I think I can do is an Efan. Actually took the gate off and got faster times. If I could get the reese hitch off I would probably do that to...Cant wait to see what it does in the fall with the weather cool and low humidity...

Done:
- Finally changed the thermostat to a 180 and flushed the antifreeze.
- Upgraded the rotors to EBS slotted and dimpled and put Hawk pads on.
To Do:
- Superchips tuner is ready to go but haven't done it yet.
- As soon as the tires and battery are paid, I plan on changing the ring/pinion to 3.92 or 4.10:1. (Primarily for towing.)

Well, I have a rear differential on my list... just not sure when. Trying to buy a house currently so the truck is taking the back seat. Besides its not winter yet and the HD has been taking its fair share as well


Btw Blwon, I like the title... ROFL
