The end may be near
For PINKY that is. I know this will upset RM as he so loved seeing the PINKY pics, but she is just about done for. Before I left on my trip the fuel pump went out again(for about the 10th time in 2 years), and when I put my toolbox in the back the floor broke and it came down on the gas tank. It also needs tires and some other various work done to it, and that 3 week old fuel pump is growling AGAIN! So I got to weighing out what it would cost to fix her(and keeping in mind how much I have in her already which thankfully isn't much). And I came to the conclusion that the $1800 I put into building her up 2 1/2 years ago was money well spent, and she really wasn't worth sinking a bunch more into her.
Well my uncle told me about 2 months ago he was considering selling his DAKOTA. So when I got back I called him up and made him an offer and he took it. So I am now the owner of a 2000 DODGE DAKOTA EXT. CAB 4X4 with a 4.7L V8 and factory tow package with 36,670 origanal miles on it kept under a carpool it's whole life. He owed me a few favors from some work I had done for him in the past, so he took $7K for it cash. So that money from my flat's boat sale went to good use, and I feel like I got a good deal out of it. Heres my newest member.  And my faithful PINKY. She gave me her all, and considering what she has been through she served me proper.

Shouldn't have any issues towing now. The old CHEROKEE handled it fairly easily up to 55, so a V8 DAKOTA with a full on tow package ought not have any troubles. It sure is snappy! I've had a major crush on the 2000 DAKOTA with the 4.7L V8 since I worked at a dealership, I just couldn't afford one back then. If it hadn't been for the sale of my PRO-LINE before I left on vacation, and his not actively listing this truck for sale. I still couldn't have afforded one. This one was actually his girlfriends. She had bought 2 of them years back, one a club cab and one a quad cab. Well with the price of fuel they couldn't afford both of them, and she recently broke her ankle and wanted the extra room the quad cab has. So I lucked out. She BABIED this thing it's whole life, she was in tears watching it go. But I assured her it would go to a good home.
