This van has done everything I have ever asked of it. It starts when I turn the key and stays that way till I turn it off.

I Paid cash for it last Feb. I'm a twenty three year old single father of two girls, (5 & 3), I have to take them to see their "Mother" in Kansas from St. Louis twice every other weekend. There and back on Friday to Drop them off and there and back on Sunday to pick them up. I've put about 25000 miles on it since I bought it. I make a living as an electrician so to avoid any ridicule from co-workers I had a sticker made for the back that I hope catches on. I consider it my "Legal Disclaimer" to try and avoid any misconceptions on who might be guiding this butllit. It's a Soccar ball circled with a line through it and letter for letter says Not a F*cking Soccar Mom. It gets alot of attention at lights.

The transmission is slightly starting to hint of things to come. My philosophy on this is that breakage constitutes upgrade. My Thoughts are to build the ultimate sleeper. I am trying to find a '99 Dakota Ext. Cab 4x4 with a 318 V8. A stick I hope just for the fun of it but I'm prepared to accept the fact that four wheel drives for donors are gonna be thin to start let alone a manual. The sound of a stock appearing caravan with a v-8 and all wheel drive just sounds cool.

In the mean time all I have to do is install a two inch lowering kit and some 18" chrome magnum R/T wagon sheels I got from a local shop for free. somone upgraded to 22" and told them they could have the old ones. More pics to come as upgrades like head lights and tail lights and wheels are installed also keep an eye for the main event coming in Feb. (tax time) By then I'm sure I'll have the brake upgrades and at least the rear end and tranfer case under it. any suggestions are welcome. and any helpful info pertaining to the drive line swap.
