Of course, Hunter had to catch that motor mount. Both you and Ben had told him that he's quality control. I'm just happy he's finally stepped up to the plate.

That Behemoth Colossus Transfer case is a piece of artwork. Almost to pretty to have under a truck that will actually leave the asphalt. Since Paul knows 😉 Jace will never abuse the truck it’s great that he’s thinking overkill is the way to do all the fabrication.

I had to 😂 at the "33k miles!" I personally know of two early/mid 90s, 4x4 V8 Dakotas (both white) that the odometer stopped at 32 or 33k miles. My family put at least another 90k before it shipped to MN to spend the rest of its days as a winter truck. The other left to Oregon with at least another 60k, but that was in the late 90s. That Colossus transfer case looks great! Gonna be another bad-ass truck. As always, thanks and I love the videos.

Paul, those firework salutes that fail to go off are extremely dangerous, I was 10 years old and were throwing 1 inch salutes and one failed to go off, one of the young kids picked the unexploded salute and put in his paints pocket, about 30 seconds later it exploded, fortunately he didn`t get hurt too bad, but he sure yelled pretty loud.

Not only did they not get it seated correctly, but they had also used a chisel and hit the edge of the race. Well, let me tell you… that is not a large space to work in! I had to lay there sanding the chip/burr down with the tips of two fully extended fingers. What a frickin chore!!!

@billbillinger2491 10 месяцев назад

While it's true, they are not a popular build platform, they are a true mid-size p/u (with a factory V8!) on a bonafide 1/2 ton frame. This makes them great trail rigs with a bed. Since they are not using 'Dakota specific, bolt on parts', it will end up a custom built rig. Fun fact: Most all the typical wear parts were also used on the 1500, and Grand Cherokee as well. So parts are still readily available.
