And what do I do with all of that I use my truck as a TRUCK. This is my daily driver. I have a shell I toss on whenever I want to take the dogs up to the mountains for a hike. I haul junk around in the bed and towing too. I take it offroading. Around here I have every kind of terrain within 10 minuets from my house. From mountains with plenty of rocks to crawl and trails just to cruse. To desert hills and soft to hard sand, I go there the most! To lakes with streams. And the occasional pulling out stuck trucks/ mostly Chevys. I conceder all the scratches “A badge of honor.” And can’t forget at least once a month I try to go camping with it. I got a 23ft travel trailer that I tow with my truck. During the summer I tow out my dragster Trans Am to the race track. Sometimes I will race the truck too. I have done the 1/4mile 15.259 85mph at over 1 mile elevation 14.2 sea level. I have been in 3 Magazines 4 times. All custom made by ME. Not a shop, or store bought.

Here are some of my pictures I got more in my Gallery. And check out my YouTube videos.

 

I love Rakaric's trucks.

 

Heh well I'll do this really quickly...I gotta get to work =P

Well, for starters...it's a 2000 4.7L V8

So far the suspension is at stock height, but I have installed some nice KYB Monomax gas shocks for the stock suspension.

She sits on 15x7 Cragar Ds with 31.5x10 BFGoodrich A/Ts. She has a puurty (almost functional) cowl hood. A westin bull bar with functional lights is also installed to complete the mean look in the front end. New bushwacker fender flares to match the red/black theme. It also has a custom made, painted on bedstripe, and many more visual changes

As for performance, she has a Flowmaster 40 series dual exhaust installed. Also, a CAI with a K&N filter is installed.

And many more mods to come in the future, which includes a suspension lift with 33" tires, and as well some interior mods.

 

Well, September 22, 2007 I sold my old 1993 Dodge Dakota LE 4x2 3,9L V6 just because I wanted a newer truck and the '93 was showing her age. On September 29, 2007 I picked up the 2007 Dodge Dakota Laramie 4x4 with the 4.7L V8 as you have all seen. Since I have owned my 2007 I have started customizing it to make it my own. Its a daily driver which does some grunt work. I am going for more of a street style truck though.
