    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    okay, this is gonna take awhile, too hot to work outside for very long today, maybe 45 minutes at a time then a 10 to 15 minute break then back at it. Now I know why buying a ready made storage box costs so much, there is a lot of work involved.

    My Dodge Dakota Q-cab

    So, I see there are a few others on here who will recognize my Dakota from other sites. I only recently found this site and love it. Thought I'd post up some pics of my '00 Dakota, original owner, so far only 119K miles on the 360 V8. It's been and still is a work in progress with lots more...

    Sorry Dodge guys, but it is pretty funny

    New 03 Ram

    the whine you hear from the rear, may be a pinion starting to go. My '00 Daktoa does this, and it varies with speed as well. Dealer diagnosed it about two years ago as a R&P whine, it's starting to go bad and will need replaced. Based on your mileage, not uncommon, mine has 118K and started...

    Spooling Synthetic (with pics)

    I was looking at a 10,000 lb rated rope that I may pull the trigger on then, it'll be almost 2x, but my winch is only 8K and I'm not planning to replace it anytime soon.

    Spooling Synthetic (with pics)

    so let me change my question, if I'm currently running 3/8" x 100' winch cable. Do I need to stay with 3/8 or can I go smaller or larger with the synthetic. I've seen a couple of websites showing the weight ratings that lead me to believe I can go with 5/16. My vehicle is a 2000 Dodge Dakota...

    Spooling Synthetic (with pics)

    what is the weight difference between synthetic winch line and regular steel cable? I have a milemarker winch on my pickup and have been contemplating this swap, but is there much of a weight savings?

    Project: Doitall Dodge

    I jus tstumbled across this buildup, I'll make a suggestion you'll love at night. I used to have an '81 Ramcharger and I did it on that. Find some Hella H4 headlights, these are a direct replacement for your sealed beams, they have a Euro-spec beam pattern, however you can replace the bulbs in...

    Quick and easy mounting option for roof rack on shell

    nice idea, I might look into that and lower mine down instead of the towers. However, one problem, your rack can be stolen by someone with a wrench. The regular Yakima mounts incorporate locks at the track and locks to hold the rack to the cross bars. Granted, someone would have to be very...

    Who uses a roof rack and what for?

    I have a Yakima Load Warrior with Extension on mine. I have a custom mount, soon to be replaced, on my cross bars for a hi-lift, I keep my MaxAx and shovel attached to the rack, I added a custom light mount to the front as well as side and rear lights (all soon to be replaced/upgraded)...

    What about the DEF system when you travel to Third World countries?

    a little info on DEF, there are you tube videos and websites of people putting water in DEF tanks and running for thousands of miles with no problems, however, it does fully void any and all warranties and I didn't tell you this.

    Ramcharger, Bronco or K5?

    the Ramcharger is basically a Dodge pickup in SUV form, suspensions, electronics, etc., the Bronco is marginally so of a Ford Pickup. I had an '81 Ramcharger and it was tough as nails, I bought it used and abused, did very little fix up and sold it 4 yrs later for the same amount I paid for it...
