Hmmm... I remember you saying something about it in regards to driving
it to the Toronto Auto Show, but I didn't want to admit I'd been an
idiot and missed the post where you told everyone that you'd decided to
get it. I should have known it was another "stealth" project :-).

So, Jon, I think your new motto could be "Dodge Dakota: collect the
entire set!" Norah and I think that your next Dak should be a gen III
4x4. Yeah, you've got the 4x4 Ram, but that doesn't help round out the
*Dakota* collection :-). And preferably your new gen III should be a
Quad Cab, so you have all the cab sizes covered.

Looks good! However, I did notice one glaring inaccuracy on the page:

        I plan to keep this truck pretty much stock

I think I've heard that line before! You really think that a pre-Magnum
 V6 is going to have enough power for you in the long term? I seem to
remember a discussion at one point on the DML about what it would take
to convert a pre-Magnum to a Magnum engine. Or there's always the
turbo route :-).
