first off, fab whatever you want for your truck, as long as you don't sell it, the price of coming after you would be absurd. Private use cases of infringement are rare. That is just the way it is. I do all my own fab work because I would rather spend the time and save the money. Keep it the...

Platform I just finished most of the new platform, it just needs two little bracing blocks and a small ply wood brace. I built it pretty similar to the one in the dodge, except bigger! The sleeping platform is 52.5 inches x 75 with a 12 inch cabinet/cubby for storing jackets, books, flashlights...

Did it twice in my stock dakota, so ground clearance shouldn't be an issue for you.

Some will disagree, but I would steer clean of the 6l. The f250 I used to drive for work is on its 2nd motor and 4th turbo. Some people have had good luck with them, I have not, and a lot of people share my experience. If you are keen on the excursion I would hold out for a 7.3. I agree the...

Great rig! After all that work I am glad you get to enjoy it a bit. If you haven't yet head up to the yaak river valley. North of Libby, miles of dirt road, tons of griz, wolves, elk and moose. I think it's the most under appreciated part of montana!

No locker yet haha, and I believe it has 3.73.

Yeah I got it from highland park, the guy was kind of a ************, really difficult to deal with. I am glad you passed it up, for my sake!

After driving the truck 1200 miles back to Montana I can say on the highway the 4.3 is a dog! Haha the 5 speed makes it better though. Cruising is fine but passing is SLOW. But hand calculated at 75 mph averaged 17 mpg compared to my dodges 14- 15. And I can do about 430 miles per tank compared...

Yeah I am already missing my 4.7 with 4.10 rear end. I wanted the 4.8 8 but this truck came at the right time with the right price with the 5speed which was my biggest priority.

Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. The biggest problem was that short dodge bed, I had to sleep diagonal. Sometimes after a day of hard climbing I would wish I had a bed to go home to but then I would look around and take a deep breath of mountain air and say "naw I'm good"

thanks 98dango, got those book marked!

Let me introduce my self and my rigs as this is my first post after practically living on this site for the last year. I live in Montana, and am part time faculty at Montana State University. I teach rappelling, advanced navigation, basic survival, and I do all the Leave No Trace training. I...

I lived out of short bed dodge dakota for four months, while I guided in CO. It takes some getting used to sleeping in the 5.5 foot bed, but man I would do it again in heart beat. Before I left for trips I would just hit the Leadville hostel for a shower so I didn't meet the clients looking like...
