ok, so, i was to be picking up my fm3 duster tonight, so i figured i would get ready last night, and go to sleep early, so i could get some rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. clicked off here last night, and decided to check out craigslist.......F*&^(&*, why did i do that? stupid me! and all the way down south of greenville s.c !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any way, i live in va, and decided to look under a area quite a ways from me. i spotted a 99 dakota r/t for dirt cheap money.
140k on the clock, brand new nitto 275/55/17 tires and rims. cost the guy 1594.00 for the set put on the truck. not two months ago!.
was listed for 2,000.00 he said if i could get it "tonight", i could have ot for 1,600.00 !. shoot, one way is 258 miles, and like 4.25 hours. by this time, it is 10:15 pm , and i had to make a choice.................. look at wife, she smurks at me, and i proceed to tell her to get the kids loaded, while i prep the truck.
man, i did not get to the guys house till 3:30 in the morning!. what a drive. and i had been up all day. well, needless to say, my daughter had to be in school today, so, i had to drive both ways, through this morning with no sleep. my inline 6 jeep g.c pulled that heavy r/t home up I-85 and I-77 at 80 mph !. i got 10.6 mpg all the way home, and made it bake by 8:30 this morning. now, i am just getting ready to fetch my fm3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is some pics. the truck does need some work. it runs and shifts/drives great, but the rear is humming. so, i need to find someone to do the work, as i am not into rebuilding rears! other that the rear, the only other problem is the damn clear-coat failure. i am going to have to strip the entire truck down to reshoot it.
