Shorter wheelbase, plus it's a couple of years older so any scratches or
dents don't cause as much concern. On the other hand, the '98 has the V8
and larger tires. Come to think of it, I like them both :-)

There's a lot of that on the Internet. He's been collecting it for years.
I think I found that site before I even bought my Dak (I was still in the
research stage).

Hmmm... anyone with a '98 service manual care to verify either way? I got
the 7.25" information out of the '95 service manual. I can definitely say
that there were no Dana axles used in '95. I thought the '98 used the same
axles, but I could be mistaken.
