    2 Yakima Boa bicycle carriers w/ keyed locks

    Purchased these about a year ago, installed them and never used them. We've decided to go a different route for carrying our bikes, hence these have to go. These retail for $69.00 ea. and the locks are $35.00 a set. I'm asking $80 shipped for the whole thing, better than half off.

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    I just yanked my lights off my rack, they had filled with water and are ruined. I am doing some other updates over the next couple of weeks to my rack and will get new pics when it's done.

    Synthetic Winchline question.

    Found out yesterday that the steel cable on my Milemarker E8000 is frayed (i've only used it 3 times in 8 yrs), bought a 10,000 lb rated synthetic rope last night for it, going to maybe replace it today if I can get motivated. Two feet of snow might make it difficult.

    Second Spare tire--The why and why not?- US based

    Really depends on tire size. I always carry one, recently put new tires and wheels on mine. I found that my new tire size may not be as readily available in some places as the old one. Hence, I will have two, alwasy carry one and keep the other on hand to take depending on where I go.

    What Dodge pickup should I buy?

    and your point is? I drive a semi for a living, I see my fellow truck drivers do stupid and irrational things. Are there limitations, sure, but, from a realistic standpoint, 90% of the Expo vehicles on here should be off the road and replaced by Unimogs or similar following your comments. But...

    What Dodge pickup should I buy?

    In the 2500, the 5.9 we are talking about is the diesel not gas engine.

    What Dodge pickup should I buy?

    kind of ironic I posted this today. Happened to see them heading up I-76 this morning on their way to Nebraska, same Dakota, same trailer. Had no problem holding 70 mph on the interstate. Actually got a chance to talk them as well when they stopped for gas. The Dakota has 197,000 miles. The...

    What Dodge pickup should I buy?

    Well, personally, if your going the Dakota route, I would try to find Quadcab with a 5.9 engine. Mileage will suck, but you'll have more power on tap. As for towing, well, there is an elderly couple in my area who tow a 28" 5th wheel travel trailer with a quadcab Dakota. It's a 2000 model, I...

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    The unfortunate part of these trucks, is the aftermarket has abandoned us, hence, everything has to be custom done. Which in and of itself isn't a bad thing as it leads to uniqueness.

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    That's actually the second set of nerf bars, the first set rusted out and broke at the welds. This set has been on for 7 yrs and held up well. I usually step over them getting in/out of the truck, but my wife and other people do use them. As for off-road, they don't get in the way, and...

    Cobra CB 75 WX ST CB

    I've had this unit in my Dakota for several years now as well. It's a marginal CB at best, the control box is mounted inside the glove box and the mic snakes out and hangs off the dash. I run a 4' firestik antenna that is past due to be retuned. Which is key, to work best you need to have...

    Droid phone problems

    I just upgraded to the Razr, it's a great phone, but still a lot of bugs that are not done being worked out. My biggest gripe is email syncing and working properly. I was using the email stuff that came on the phone, didn't always work. Spent an hr on the phone with Verizon, the guy had me...

    Help me decide whether to trade or not to trade...

    I would also vote for the older one, for $4k you could almost completely restore is and have a vehicle that will last a long time. I have a buddy with a newer one, his rear A/C failed and it was $1,500 to repair/replace the components and almost a week of down time because they had to remove 1/4...
