#63 of 373 Returned from the Wilderness by spike50 Jul 14, 2000 (1:20 am)
Just back from 70 miles of backpacking in the mountains of New Mexico with the Boy Scouts. Dropped a belt size as well as turning 50. Can't think of a better way to keep a positive attitude. Use the Quad as my daily driver. I started with the basic SLT package and have the following stats: Light Driftwood, 4.7L, 5sp manual, 4x4, 3.55 rear with LSD, T&H group, HD package, 4W ABS, bucket seats, heated 6x9 mirrors with the defrost solid rear window, PENDA liner, TekStyle soft tonneau, ball on the bumper for light towing, added the Mopar door sills, front slush mats and rear tray, installed the $13 mud flaps all around, am adding Catz MSC "real" yellow fog-lights in the factory holes by next weekend. Don't have the overhead compass / temp console. Picked it up May 4 and just passed the 2,500 mile mark this week. Plan to have it a long time so I purchased the shop manual (Big Orange Book = BOB). Married and have two sons, 20 and 17, and all of their friends in our refrig. Did I mention that I had to allow my wife to get two kittens, named "Black" and "Tan", in exchange for her allowing me to get the Quad. Live in the relative flatlands of central PA within an hour of tpmiller's home in "hard-coal country" and 2.5 hours from bookitty's Phila-hood.
#64 of 373 spike50 Great to hear from you. by bookitty Jul 15, 2000 (12:42 am)
Spike, happy birthday. If you are looking for the notch that you lost, I think that I may have inadvertantly found it on my belt. Well, growing is good. happy that you had a good and safe trip. I'm proud of you. Bookitty

Name: John Age: 26 Education: Bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering. Origin: West Virginia Occupation: Project engineer/industrial engineer/foreman. Work for Consol Energy, which is a major coal company nation wide. Too bad I have to spend 9 hours a day underground, but at least is have given me the opportunity to buy a Dakota. Vehicle: 2000 Dodge Dakota Club Cab Sport, 4.7 liter V8, 5-speed stick shift, 3.92 axle ratio, tow package, fog lights, tire and handling package, power everything, premium sound, premium overhead consol, sport plus group, 31" tires, skid plates, sliding rear window, flame red, agate interior. I love this truck. Hobbies: Sea doo'ing!!!! Water skiing, knee boarding, slalom water skiing and anything else that Aquaman would love to do. I am married with no kids. (maybe in 1 or 2 years.) dream vehicle: Dodge Ram 2500 loaded with the 8.0 liter V10 and 5-speed. Or a Dodge Viper. (consol energy does not pay me enough yet to afford the Viper, but at least my wife has no problems with me buying one if I ever get the chance.........she is a really cool girl!! impy2- "impy" is my nickname. My dad was also called "impy". The name just kind of carried over a generation and stuck with me. He was the first "impy" and I was the second "impy"....Hence the name "impy2"
#66 of 373 Hello by teckno Jul 15, 2000 (11:27 pm)
I live in (believe it or not) Cool, California, located about an hour NE of Sacramento. I am a 39 year old elementary school teacher. I own a 2000 QC, 3.9 liter, 2wd, 5 speed with a 3.55 axle ratio. The truck is driftwood color w/ agate interior (and griege headliner). I have the SLT Decor Group (A/C, cruise, tilt) and the SLT Plus Decor Group (T&H package, power locks, windows and 6x9 mirrors). I ordered the truck (via CarOrder.com) on 4/11, it shipped on 5/12 and was delivered to my house on 6/7. I have added a rubber bed mat, a tailgate protector, body side molding and a Yakima Q-Tower rack. I currently have about 2K miles on the vehicle. No problems yet, (except for that little dent from the door opening into a concrete barrier!). Thanks to Andy_Jordan and Thermacguy for working at getting this forum going. As a reader of the "old" message boards, I gained a lot of helpful, friendly information on the QC, and reading the posts certainly helped pass my time as a "QuadWaiter".

Welcome and thanks for registering. Bookitty
#68 of 373 teckno - Yakima Q Towers by tjump Jul 16, 2000 (9:32 pm)
Hey Teckno, I saw that you have the Yak Q, and I have a question. Which clips did you use to mount them, and how did they fit with the door frame & weather stripping? TIA, -tjump
#69 of 373 HELLO to all by kingquad1 Jul 17, 2000 (10:51 am)
just got my password. just wanted to say hello to all and thanks for all the information that was passed along by all the "quad" owners. It has been very helpful. thankfully, I haven't experienced and problems ( trans, etc). THIS IS THE BEST TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED!. been driving Chevy's for 30 yrs. HANDLING, PERFORMANCE, STYLING!I have started to ADD things to it. add LINE-X sprayed-in bedliner as soon as I picked the truck up. very impressive! will add WESTIN safari bar and nerf bars shortly. what I plan on doing is having line-x sprayed on both. should help keep maintainance down to a minimum. also, intense performance is offering air intake tubes with S&B filters. should be as good as K&N. that's it for now.
#70 of 373 hello by bsparx Jul 17, 2000 (6:01 pm)
Boy, its hard to heep up with all the QC forums. I've been a frequent lurker and occasional poster in the old QC boards and the newer Owners forum (muchas gracias to those responsible for moving us forward) Ben Sparks, screen name o' bsparx (bsparxaol.com) No relation to Cowtown Aggie (Preston <bSparks b>) that I know of, but maybe the attraction to the QC is genetic... Patriot Blue 00 QC 4x4 4.7 auto with everything but rear defroster and power seat Put on a leer cab-high shell, but not the fancy one. Didn't want the Durango look, or I'd 've bought one of them. Live in Oakland, CA so I'm hoping to see newquad, carls5, guanner, quark99, and ??? on the road. Married, with 2 boys, 26 mo. and 3 mo. Bought the quad off the lot on my birthday (31) in February, because I couldn't figure out how to get 2 child seats into my 2.5 door F150 supercab. Also do as much surfing as I can, so if you norcal quadders see a longboard on the roof in the summer or a shortboard in the back in the winter, that's me. Spend most weekends waterfowling in the fall, so the Lab has always liked my trucks. Both of these are on hold, though, anytime I can't tear myself away from the little fellas... Love the truck and these forums are damn good too. Thanks, everyone Ben
