All I can say is you want have to worry about a Dak dying at 100k, you've
tried the rest, now try the best. BTW why aren't you getting 4WD if it is
to replace a 4WD? Maybe it's just because I love 4X4's so much but I
would suggest you get it.....Don't know from personal experience, but a
lot of people on the list have Gibson duals on their Daks and seem quite
content with them... I would go w/ black to much of anything (purple) is
a bad thing. Just my opinion.
