Subject: DML: Hitting the NC dunes, saw a Gen II with 35's
Well despite a cracked windshield I did hit the sand dunes yesterday at Fort
Fisher NC, I wanted to see how the truck would compare to before being
lifted. As I'm parked at the entrance airing down my tires I notice another
beefy-lookin' Gen II Dak in the parking lot with...get this...a 3 inch body
lift and 35" BFG MTs!! I could not believe my eyes, it looked kick ass!
Although I could not figure out how the hell he fit 35's in there... but upon
closer inspection I noticed that his fenders were trimmed back and there was
ome serious rubbing going on, according to the frame that was polished to
hiny bare metal where the wheels touched on hard turns. Okay, so he couldn't
turn hard or articulate at all, but it still looked awesome! Plus the guy had
a custom welded rear bumper with shackles, big ol' lights on the front
pillars, flowmaster exhaust...very cool, beefy, stout lookin truck. I parked
mine next to it to compare height and took a bunch of pictures.
Just then the guy comes walking out and freaked when he saw my truck! A nice
dakota bonding moment. I told him about the dml (gave him the web address but
I just noticed that the server is down...hmmmm...)...
And about running on the dunes? The Dak kicked ass! blew through the thick
dunes with NO hesitation like it did pre-lift. The larger tires definitely
make a huge difference on sand. I had a blast playing around out there on the
beach! Happy Dak Day!
