#10 of 373 This is great by tpmiller Jun 26, 2000 (5:22 pm)
a round of appreciation to Andy Jordan,themacguy and Bonnie Rick. I'm in central Pa with a 4x4 white Sport Quad 4.7, auto, tow pak, and installed a bedrug which I like. Am awaiting a fold a cover. Unlike Andy, I have three and one-half (lab mix) border collies who don't do anything they're supposed to other than herd lawn tractors, play frisbee and occassionally chase the geese out of the pond. They love the Dakota though.
#11 of 373 Thanks for the effort by bookitty Jun 26, 2000 (7:43 pm)
Wonderful start thanks to the efforts of Andy Jordan, Jack (themacguy) and Bonnie. If I left out anyone, my apologies, and thanks to them also. Norm Rosenberg aka Bookitty Reside in Eastern Pennsylvania and spend time in our New Jersey beach home located on an island 6 miles at sea (LBI). Drive a 2000 Amber Pearl 4X4 Quad with the 4.7, 3.55 LSD, T&H, SLT and any other junk that was laying around the plant. I love not only my Quad, but also this great group, whom I have come to rely upon so much since first accessing this site and the Dakota topics. Norm
#12 of 373 Howdy from TX ya'll! by themacguy Jun 27, 2000 (8:47 am)
I'm Jack Barton, a co-host with a_j (Andy) of our little 'Dakota Tribe' here on Edmunds. I live in Midland, Tx - home of the CAF (Confederate Air Force), oil/gas, and as you might remember, baby Jessica (from 'stuck in the well' fame back in the mid 80's) who will be a twenty + millionaire in 3 years. Both of the George Bushes lived here, and I am fortunate to call 'Jr.' my friend. I bought the 2000 Quad off the truck (literally) from Benny Boyd Dodge in Lampasas, Tx. on Christmas Eve 1999, just couldn't wait to order. It's a black Sport w/ Agate, 4.7 auto and most options except 4wd, lsd, t&h group, 6X9 mirrors and the overhead computer thingy. I've added bedliner, flares with 17X9 R/T wheels/tires, the gullwing lid, Hothchkiss swaybars, performance shocks, front wind deflector and nice side steps / boards / tubes. I auto-x the truck a bit, when I'm not working the crap out of it in the oilfield. Have 2 little girls, 3 Shelties - down from 5 :'-( - and 2 ex-wives. Outside of work I race, rally Porsches (& now the Quad) and play tennis to stay young(er) than my 42 years. And I like good chili (w/o beans); NM chili has beans in it. What I'd like to see happen for us are some 'meets' at least 'geographically,' once a year or so... I'm working on that if any of ya'll wants to help. I've done LOTS of Porsche & Vette meets. Anyone?

Hi: I'm Bob O'Connor from Cleveland (temporarily). I call Durham N.C. home. I bought my 1999 Dakota from Deacon Jones Dodge (Smithfield, N.C.)on 02-02-99. It's a Standard Cab, 5.2L, V-8 with a 3.52 ratio, T&H, HD Service group, LSD axle, Sliding Rear Wndw, Emerald Green. I added a Rhino Liner in a custom color to match the truck. I have 24k miles and average 14 (city) and 19 (interstate). I absolutely LOVE this truck. I truly appreciate this forum and its members knowledge base. Thanks to all.

#17 of 373 Hey, Dere! by yooper_romad Jun 28, 2000 (6:24 am)
Michael T. Simons Lampasas, TX      I may live in Texas right now but my heart is in the U.P.!      2000 Quad Cab (this is my second Dakota, '90 CC)Forrest Green Sport 4X4, 4.7lt, 5spd, 3.92ls, 4wl anti lock, HDSG, Trailer Tow Gp, Skid plates, T&H, Cruise Control, RAZ, Fog lamps, PCG, 6X9 mirrors and the Engine Block Heater.      Add ons - A.R.E. CX Cap, MOPAR rear area rubber mat (a great thing), Diamond Liner sprayed on bed liner, Cobra CB.      Soon to add ons - Flowmaster muffler w/dual out exiting in the stock location, some type of grill guard/winch mount and Ramsey winch, a safari rack on the cap and a Pro-glass Shaker hood.      An other of the "mature" group, 45yrs. Two kids needed more leg room, still have to haul the two cattle dogs and occasional dirty things (spare engines and parts from swap meets).      I would list all my prior automobiles but don't have the time. High spots - '70 Charger 500, '74 Road Runner w/340HP, '62 VW w/corvair engine, '62 corvair convertible, '72 Scout II, and current project '73 Cuda.      Also ride vintage motorcycles (been told this is because I'm too cheap to buy a new one). I have a tendency to hold on to my vehicles. Still have my '85 Ford Tempo w/200,869 mi on it.(engine is currently out so that the front mainseal can be replaced)      The Quad is my daily driver and family truckster, about to get a large addition to it's 8,000 mi with a trip back to God's Country.(Da U.P.)
#18 of 373 Another Quadder by resqman Jun 28, 2000 (2:50 pm)
Bruce Ramsey Raleigh, North Carolina "Resqman" 00 Flame Red, SLT +, 4.7l, 3.55, auto, bucket seats, Agate (black) interior, power everything, overhead console, AM/FM/CD/Cassette, HD service group, Tire & Handling, Tow package, two-tone paint, sliding rear window, leather steering wheel. Aftermarket: -Fender Flares (Light Driftwood to match 2-tone paint) -A.R.E. "CH" bed cap (cab height Flame Red) Proposed extras: - Line-X spray on bedliner - Hidden strobe lights, front and rear - Additional backup lights - Ram-air hood Daily driver. Needed room for the boys (7,4) who are not going to get any smaller. Needed place to haul lawn/garden supplies, lumber, household stuff. Didn't want an SUV and traded in the mini-van for the Quad. Member of all volunteer technical rescue team (www.redsteam.com) That means Confined Space, Trench, Building Collapse, Swiftwater, High/Low Angle Rope, Search and Hazardous Materials rescues. On call 24 x 7 x 365 so I often respond in personal vehicle. I needed something that could handle my personal gear and have enough ground clearance and hauling capacity to take me to challenging environments. The team also has three boat trailers that need to be pulled. The rescue team has more trailers than we have team equipment with the capacity of towing. 500 miles today. Beginning to see the mileage creep up to 14+ suburban/interstate combo. Has required extrodinary control of the right foot and frequent use of the cruise control. Never been a wrench head. Washed a car in the driveway with a bucket and hose less than 10 times in my 39 yrs. The Quad is changing my outlook dramatically. Find myself talking about cat-back exhaust with strangers at drive thru's and searching the web for aftermarket body mod's.
#19 of 373 reaqman Welcome by bookitty Jun 28, 2000 (4:10 pm)
Bruce, welcome to the club. It sounds as if you are an individual that anyone would be proud to know, truck or no truck. Are the hidden strobes used for response to emergency calls? You truck sounds great as well. Again, a hearty "welcome!" Bookitty
