Time to build a new adventure rig! Eight months ago I sold my Grand Cherokee, and I've finally decided to start building something new. Every rig I've built up to this point has been an SUV. At this point the build is going to be starting on a budget, so I began scouring the internet for a cheap project truck. Finally I came upon the perfect base to build a unique all-around expo rig. I came across this 98 Dodge Dakota, 318 V8, 5 speed extended cab, with a fiberglass utility bed. It needs a little work, including a rear shackle, the taillights rewired, a front fender, and the front bumper repaired. But for only $1300 I couldn't pass it up. I've got a ton of plans for it already, and they will take shape over time. I decided to actually keep an updated log of modifications and service with this truck however, and keep an updated build thread. It may not be brand new, but I know I can restore it into a road and trail-worthy adventure rig. But now for the best part, because no build thread would be complete without pictures!
Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!
