Solid Front Axle Dakota....

I'm strongly leaning towards keepin the Dak, and modding the hell outta it
to make it a true trail rig. I was thinking, any type of donor vehicle that
i would buy for a trail rig i would be doing the same thing that needs to be
done with my Dak, so why not just keep it and cut it up? :D
I'd be bobbing the bed to improve departure angle, and doing something with
the front to improve approach angle, and a solid front axle swap to get some
flex up there. Also, that Durango guy put in a fully-floating rear Dana60
and has mad flex... so i will most likely do that eventually too.....

Along with that, i would throw in a 360, and a beefed up tranny, as the 4.7
i think is a little too touchy for strictly trail duty... As shown by the
most recent BBQ. hehehe

Everything is up in the air until i get my settlement from the lawsuit, but
i think it would be pretty cool to have the only (or nearly the only)
trail-only 2000 Dakota, fully prepped. :D

Two words, figure it out....
