I've waited 4 long years for this moment....

Mista Blasta! I recommend a Dakota for you my friend. If you are
planning on selling or trading the XJ in for a Dakota - you would be
better off with a Quad Cab. If you are thinking along lines of
praticality - the Quad is the most versitile of the Dakota bodies.
Ability to comfortably seat 4, and the ability to tow decent sized
loads, and still have a bed that you can throw crap in, that you
wouldn't want slopping up the nice interior of an SUV.
I would like to remind you however, that you will be going back to our
infamously offroad-inept independant front suspension.
With that said... I forgot to post... Petersons just ran an issue - I
think the one still on stands... the latest "whoops" edition... with a
solid axle swapped Quadcab that looks SWEET.
