That would have been me, I was hit head on by a car that was running the cops on the wrong side on the freeway, he was estimated at speeds in excess of 125 mph and i was going my usual 80-85 and he came around a big corner and we collided head on, he was killed instantly, his passenger had both legs amputated brain damage and died a week later, and i had a shattered knee cap, and a scrape on my elbow. If I was wearing my seatbelt I would not have even shattered my knee cap, (it collided with my CB) I have the pictures of my truck and the other guys car that I can send or put on the DML website showing the rigidity of these fine trucks we have grown to love and depend on to keep us safe.?????

"This is the Western Chassis kit with new A arms & stock coils, which give a 2" front end drop. Rear is Western Chassis spring shackles and hangers. Hangers are adjustable to give you choice of 4", 4.5", and 5" rear drop.
Took me about 35 hours to completely install everything. The rivets that Dodge uses are a BITCH, and there are 16 in the rear and 8 in the front. The ball joints must be transferred from the old arms to the new ones, (those are the 8 front rivets).
This kit is NOT for the faint-of-heart, or those without professional air tools. Job cannot be done without a compressor, impact wrench, air hammer, and cut-off tool....and even then it's tough!
But, everything works as advertised and I am very pleased with the results."

"It only has 194 miles on it so far but we had to try out the 4WD."

I think my fuel pump died. It was the first time I had to have the dak towed.
We only went about 7 miles, so I'm not worried about the 4x4.
(Do wish they sent a flatbed tho...)

Dodge "button".

Michael Clark scanned in his keychain and created this graphic which would be great as an HTML button or bullet, or perhaps as desktop wallpaper.

Michael Meyerhoff created this dodge .ico file. Its the Dodge "sheild", similar to the one under the "Dakota" letters at the top of the main DML Mailing List Home Page.

I was browsing for Dodge Dakota information when I stumbled across an article as follows:

I corrisponded with Mr. Turner and purchased one of these via mail. About seven to ten days later I received my new (1994) shiney red Dodge Dakota (with zero miles!) in the original box and packaging.

These pictures that I took really do not do it justice, and I'm sorry but photography is just not my forte, I guess. Suffice it to say that being a Dakota fan, this is a must have item.

These are just my humble experiences with this venture, and I knew I had to share it with my fellow Dakotaphiles.

Hi, I too am a big fan of the dodge dakota line of trucks. I myself own a 1992 Dakota LE, with a 3.9 V6 and I would hope that I can send you more info on it in the future but for now I was hoping to submit a wallpaper that I made myself. This walpaper is a .bmp or a file that is made in the program paint. To use it go to start, programs, accessories and paint and open the file that I have sent, save it to your my documents folder or another folder of choice and then under the menu in paint click file then set as wallpaper centered, to do so though you must save it first, the wallpaper lookes the best if you rightclick on your desktop and in the menu select properties then click the appearence tab, in the picture click outside of the windows with messages in them and change the color to black which will blend in with the wallpaper, it really looks great and I hope that dakota fans looking for a cool walpaper can get their hands on it. Sincerely, Dodge Dakota Fan Zach Clary
