Hello all,
    This here is my first posting although I have been on the list for
the last month or two. I am stationed on the "little" island of
Okinawa Japan right now. I ordered me a 97 Dakota back in Nov of 96.
So you could say that I have been waiting almost a year as I won't be
able to pick it up until October. Talk about anxiety... whew!! They
won't build it until 45 days before I leave here. I pick it up in
Oklahoma. I had me a couple Ferds before and wanted to go with a
truck that had as much pep as me Mustangs. Thought the Dak was the
only way to go.
    I ordered it with most of the trimmings: Sport RegCab, V8, 5Spd,
15x8 wheels, 235x70 tires, overhead console, Infinity CD system,
3.55sure grip, max engine cooling, HD electrical, HD service, fogs,
and on and on. Oh and the color, don't laugh to hard..... Magenta...
I wanted it to stand out in a crowd. Everybody gets Black, Blue (I
wish they offered it in Viper Blue or Prowler Purple) Red, so I just
wanted to be a little different. The first two mods that I am gonna
do to it are a tonneau cover as it will see alot of highway driving
and a dual flowmaster setup (one in 2 out ) I used to have the first
generation flowmasters on me Ferd and I could set car alarms off with
it in the parking structures.
    Anyways, I can't wait to get back to the states and pick it up.
And just one more thing; there is no place like the United States.
First place I am stopping to eat is Taco Bell and then the Outback
Steak House or Black Angus or Lone Star Steak House. (Real Food!)

(wish I could be there for a 300+ party)
