Yep, I down graded my ranger to 31s and it is my dd now. cause my xj got a little extreme for a dd anymore. 7 mpg driving 70+ miles everyday=not a good idea. lol. The ranger's ticker just rolled over for the 3rd time. needless to say, its off road days are long gone lol.

 

I had a '73 FJ40 on 35's with no power steering living in the city. I would ask random people off the street to help me turn the steering wheel while I parallel parked the beast.

 

This was my first toy about 10 years ago:













2000 Dodge Dakota Sport 2wd V-6 lifted 8" and running 31" BFG's and locked in the rear with a powertrax.

 

I thought 8-10 mpg in my 79 power wagon was bad

 

At least you were able to get another jeep and

 

I can see how that would get expensive fast

 

Did anyone ever help you?

 

That color is awesome thanks for the pics.

 

Yeah it was rare. I didn't see any other dakota with that "fire amber" color during the time I owned it. I miss that truck.

 

mine was a 86 ford escort pony, also my first car paid $200 for it.

 

thats funny. as long as it works

 

Yea all the time!!
