As some of you may or may not know, recently kateys $500 dollar exploder died, and it was time to move on. She was then using a saturn as a commuter car, and a few months ago finally settled into her new Daily Driver.
RIP Exploder...

It is a 1998 Dodge Dakota Sport with the 5.2L V8 4x4 with 107k Miles in great shape for the age. We were able to save the tires off of her explorer and use them on the Dakota, and so far its been a great new rig.

It already has a nice 3" flow master exhaust, but future plans include adding; Headers, Hughes intake manifold, DUI coil and wires, and an air intake. And plan to keep it on the road for a long while longer. Im still confused how she manages to get almost twice the fuel economy as i do in the same vehicle...

Saved everything worth saving, and off to a junker it went. Sad to see it go out that way, but i managed to snag the goodies from it.
