well guys, the worst has happened, Sunday night after I finished up there was some type of short in the garage's electrical system. the result was a four alarm structure fire. it was a total loss all the way around.
unfortunately, the Dakota and all the parts were burned to the ground. the kicker is that I only had liability insurance.
so, for all intents and purposes, the project is off. maybe some day I'll be able to put another Dakota together but not soon. I do, however, still have my F350, so that looks like it's going to have to take it's place.
here's the really sh!tty thing, when my wife found out exactly how much money we lost in the fire(she hated the Dak!) she made up her mind that it was time to end our recently rocky marriage. Jesus, this couldn't get much worse, not only did I loose my truck but my wife left with my kids.

Man please say your joking about the fire and the wife and kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man if thats the case i'm really i mean really sorry to hear about it. I'm in the process of a solid axle swap on my 03 QC right now. I shoul be receiving the new gears and install kits tomorrow. And like you said yeah its gonna be sittin TALL. any info you could share would be great and ill do like wise. I'm going to be runnin a dana 44 in front and a dana 60 in the rear with a posi rear. the front end is gonna be setting on 4 in arched leaf springs and the back is goin to stick with the dak springs just modified a little bit ok alot. My BIG concern right now is the stearing set up cause I had the rack and crapinion settup i gotta totally custom fab something up.
So if you could send any pics that would be great

i have a 2000 dakota that i'm lifting too. it's funny to hear all the people who say they are lifting their trucks but how many of you are doing rather than talking? anyway i'm not doing any 4 or 6" lift, i bought 38.5x14.50 tsl's, and using a spyder hy steer crossover setup, and yes a 99 ram steering box is a must to take place of the r&p...if anyone wants details email me at jesse.protint@verizon.net OUT

The real TJ I think is not keeping this board updated. This board has to many idiots that have turned this site to what it is.
He has a post at dakotatrucks that he is updating.
He posted some photos but nothing completed yet.
Give the guy a break he was trying to keep this board updated.
He is doing everything by trail and error but seems to have things under control.
