hey guys, so iv got a 99 Dakota 3.18 4x4, shes had a rough life i flipped her in the air a few months back and landed on the wheels and drove her home (gotta love a dodge) but its going in the paint booth tomorrow morning. here are some pictures more to come and alot to come after shes finished. im planing on some new wheel and blacking out the windows let me know what you guys think.


 

I always liked the 'Kota's, personally. I'd like to see that truck with some 31 or 32's, and maybe a bed?  

31s or 32s!!!! ahhh lol lord no  you wanna 31 flavors go to baskin robbins lol iv got a bed already iv got some pictures ill put on tomorrow

The reality is, the bigger the tires on it the more LD (Light Duty) it is because it increases strain on drive line and suspension and in effect reduces load capacity. Many thing though that huge tires make a truck HD when they do not. Most of the same people also think that you do not need to regear axles either so then you wind up with a LD truck that is a slug too. So counter productive.  

That's why I thought a thought a 31" tire would be about right. What's he want? 44's? That would look awesome but, as Snoman said, counter productive.
 It's like masterbating with a cheese grater...slightly amusing at first, but mostly, just painful.  

"That's why I thought a thought a 31" tire would be about right."

I agree too here and I was not thinking you were suggesting bigger was better at all. You are pretty much on target for this chassis for best compromise of look and sturdiness.  

Oh I know. I'm just curious why he thought that was so ridiculous. Maybe I missed something???? Oh. Wait. Here it is...right after "flippin in the air and landing on the wheels and drivin it home".  

sry guys i assumed by "31s" you were talking about wheel size not tires lol my mistake but yeah ill probley go with a set of 31 10 50s and some 16 or 17in mickey Thompson wheels with the bead lock.    

Of course! this is FourWheeler...not Whips! We cool dawg?  

shes almost done =>

 

is the roll bar for the 'Kota?  

Any plans to do a solid axle swap later on down the road?  

coming along nicely
