Default 97 Dakota Sport V8 5-speed SAS - super clean!

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t like to be noticed, keep looking because this truck is NOT for you. Tastefully customized with durability, drivability, and reliability in mind. Almost all mechanical parts have been replaced. Truck is a head-turner and gets tons of compliments. 49-state truck that has been in California most of its life (NO RUST!) Price it out yourself. You can't even come close to building this truck yourself for this price. $5900.

Powertrain:
• 5.2L (318 cubic inch) Magnum V8
• Approximately 100k miles on engine
• New radiator
• Edelbrock headers (smog legal)
• Flowmaster muffler
• New catalytic converter
• 5-speed manual transmission
• Manual-shift 4x4 (no push-buttons)
• Clutch works perfectly (no slipping, noise, etc.)
• New Tom Woods driveshafts

Front axle:
• Dana 44
• New seals
• New ball joints
• Spartan locker
• 4.10 gears
• Steering stabilizer
• Riddler cover
• Warn Premium locking hubs
• Drilled and slotted rotors
• EBC Yellow Stuff pads

Rear axle:
• GM 14-bolt semi-float
• New bearings and seals
• Yukon Dura-grip limited slip
• 4.10 gears
• T/A cover

Interior:
• Power windows
• Power door locks
• Power mirrors
• Air conditioning
• Intermittent wipers
• Cruise control
• Corbeau reclining seats
• Tuffy Security center console
• Kenwood CD deck
• Dual 10” MTX subs
• Sirius satellite radio
• Rear privacy glass

Exterior:
• Hemi orange paint in excellent condition
• 35” tires on alloy wheels (plenty of tread)
• Spray-in bedliner
• Custom winch bumper with 12k lb. winch and lights
• Heavy-duty custom side steps

Truck runs and drives beautifully. I built it with off-road capability in mind, but only took it on a couple of easy trails before I decided it was much too nice to beat up and built a beater rock crawler. I drive this truck daily and it has been extremely reliable. It has never broken down on me, never overheated, and never caused me problems in any way. I would not hesitate to get in it tomorrow and drive it cross-country. It needs absolutely nothing. I love this truck and am only selling it because I need a heavy-duty tow vehicle.

Smog certificate and clean title in hand.

Thanks! It's an NV3500 and it just turned 202k miles.

I don't take the Dakota on any hard-core trails because I don't want to scrape it up (sometimes I wish I hadn't bothered to make it look nice, lol). Instead, I do most of my "real" wheeling in my already-ugly Blazer.
