Same here it's always cold. Last time I was in salt water around here was to remedy the poison oak my brat found while attending a company BBQ.
She's 35 and has her own red headed brats now
The beaches in San Diego County were loaded. When I lived down there as a kid, come about Labor Day we didn't go to the beach, frickin' water got cold about then
Alaskan current ... yup.
Ya, so i added about 500 lbs to the back end of my power wagon, made it worse. It wouldnt stop at all. Tires were fairly new too.Get yourself a gang box to weigh the back end of that thing down too
If it was my luck, they wont have stock.
I suppose at a point it makes sense as it reduces downforce on the front tires and braking effectiveness.
I would toss a few 25 pound sandbags (100 pounds) over the wheel wells
Yup been a decent truck just a few small issues. Want to keep it. Always need a 4WD around here.
Prob have to do that with the Dakota, dont know yet. Tell you what it does lock up and goes straight though
Hopefully the inspection is done today. Its on Dean time!

I always filled the gas tank on the Ranchero when heading to one of those illicit after hours street activities to have any hope at all of getting some bite out of the drive tires
This one is the 88 w150, no need dam thing weighs 5KGet yourself a gang box to weigh the back end of that thing down too
I really have to compare the rear suspension on that to a plain Dakota. It does have a floating rear sway bay. Of course the links had to be replaced. Plastic with a metal insert.I always filled the gas tank on the Ranchero when heading to one of those illicit after hours street activities to have any hope at all of getting some bite out of the drive tires

Probably more likely to high center on snow
How much lower is it than the "standard" Dakota?
Put it this way I put factory mud flaps on it the moulded ones that match te flairs, they hit going over a speed bump, but then again I pit the 235/55 tires on it which were the other recomended since I could not find 255/55/17 anywhere for a half decent price. Definately has some sort of handling package. Stupid things like shocks were different from a reg one.
I call that turtle. Put a turtle on a fence post. Same idea. No, im not cruel, i’d never leave a turtle there.Probably more likely to high center on snow
But then you wont run over it with the mower!
Definately liked the look better with the taller tires.
255 in the front 235 in the back in this pic.
At least i can see them. The frogs are duffucult to see, so i go slow where they usually hide. Meeces on the other hand, i drop deck and hammer down.

Hit 1 desert tortoise while riding you dirt bike across the desert in 4th or 5th gear and you lose all sympathy for the lowly tortoise
Black snakes here get hit all the time. Once in a while a snapping turtle has been targeted also. Then I give it to my friend that eats them.
Cruising 45 mph on a back road near Dover Florida on a farmers sons 175 cl Honda i swerved to mis an Alligator and hit his tail, I gained control but that dam Gator was at least 10 ft long, the bike was almost new, glad I didn't wreck it.
