Hey guys, you could do like I do and never was your truck. That way you can do whatever at any time. Works for me. Well, excpet when I take my girlfriend out. She makes me wash it. Something about people seeing her in a truck with mud and sand all over it. I dont see any problem with that do you guys? I think she looks sexy like that!

Yall are my kinda people here. I like this sh!t.
Yeah, all the impurities on a truck come out when its clean, thats for sure. So theres a good reason to keep it muddy. Its a badge of honor... One time I was at a huge mud pit near my house. Like a mile away, it was great. It is held once a year for our towns small festival called "Swamp-Cabbage Festival." There were 2 huge pits double the size of football fields. And like 2000 people there. There were trucks ranging from Lincoln Navigators to new rams to catipiller tracked buggies and old chevys with 44 and Dana 60s, and tons of ATVs. So sweet. But my girl was on a jeep CJ-7 w/38s with me an my friend. We got stuck and jumped out to get the mud outa the tire grips and the winch cable. She was laughing at us so we pulled her ass in. Now that was funny. She like belly flopped into this pit of 4-5ft thick mudd. Loved it. Talk to yall later.

Do be fooled, my girl was pissed. But then I ran up to her, gave her a hug and took both of us to the mud. So she felt better once she knew I was just not being a turd. But it was fun.
Around my house, there is alot of places to wheel. But it depends on the rain what we do. Like now, everything is dry as hell, so I get to do alot of trailing through the palms and pine trees. Its not dirty but it is still fun. But when it rains, all the rednecks come out and it gets crazy. Have a good one yall.

i think that by now my tires are like 30's or something, they should be replaced in a couple of months. they are like 10.5 tires on the stock rims that you also have, i cranked the t-bars up till the truck was level(got an alignment to go with it). i think im pretty lucky cause i didnt have to do any triming, i took the mudflaps off before so i had no problem with those but there might have been. the only place that they rub is on the frame when they are at FULL turn. they come prety damn close to the rear of the wheel well when i have it flexed. the next tires will probably be some muddy's and i might have to trim a little off the plastic rocker and on the inside of the flare. i also want to get some new wheels but i dont know what width and backspacing would keep them from rubbing. i took some pics of the truck last time i waxed it but that was on the beginning of the roll and i dont know how im gona get them on the computer.

Dude, you are not kidden. That Dak is mean! And 35s! He musta did a custom lift with a solid axel front froma ford or something. But it looks like a beast. I also own a 85 Gt Mustabg with the 302 V8. And it will run like hell! Dont know about with 35s but with stocker on the stang, it rides. Man I wish I had that truck!

Yeah I got some picts of playen around too. We were at my cousins lake house. In this old guys back yard on the beach. We were all over his beach and up on his water wall. We could go over it cuz the water level is sooooo low that where normally there is water, now is sand. But it was fun. I dont understand the racer thing either. I guess if I had a car like that, Id have to do something to it. Cant lift them or go mudden so that stuff would be the next best. But I prefer to keep my old, slow Dak. God I love that thing.

Hi all, I've been over this site for the past month. I'm a proud owner of an 89 3.9 4x4 SE LB and just got back from a road trip. My mpg's average at 19, I was very pleased. My dak is currently stock with 187,000 miles and is still running strong. Here in a few weeks I'll be sending it to a shop unknown mods at this time, but when I get back from overseas in late summer I post again with mods that were done.
