First T&T of 2024 was a fail....

Nice update, love the truck

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Clean azz R/T.... God I haven't seen one of those in forever. My old buddy used to have both a Dakota R/T and a Durango R/T, both were black with the polished/chrome stock wheels and the Durango had a Kenne Bell screwcharger on it.... God that was years ago, wonder if he still has them lol. I remember he used the Dakota as his "work truck" (he was a mechanic, but also a fab guy and welder, so he built an in-bed metal tool box for a bunch of gear and a welder that fit below the rails so he could run a soft tonneau cover and nobody would know), the Durango was his regular "daily", I remember that KB on it, and I know it had like Eibach lowering springs and Bilsteins along with shortie headers and a Flowmaster catback.... nice clean SUV.... always dug the style of those 2nd Gen Dakotas/1st Gen Durangos.... even though I was an S10/S15/Sonoma/Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada/Syclone/Typhoon guy 😅 Now after the rambling....any thoughts on doing a Gen3 Hemi swap? Tons of cheap used 5.7, 6.1 SRT, 6.2 'Cat, 6.4/392 SRT, 6.4 HD, and 426ci Hemi's available for the picking.... and I know they're like the LS and Coyotes and absolutely _love_ some boost.... shame you're not building a "street truck", I'd suggest a 6.1 or 6.4 SRT Hemi along with the Durango AWD and a T56 Magnum (or auto 😥) along with 10-15lbs of boost and some good suspension and chassis bracing, thing could be a straight ripper 😅

@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 hemi is the way to go. A 09+ 5.7 with a cam and valve springs will make more power that any street built 408. I have a 6.4 392 in a crate for the future 🙂

@@ThatTurboDakota very nice, that Dakota is entirely too clean _not_ to use it as a drag _and_ drive... not just drag lol

[@jasoncullins4367]

Hey saw you pulling into OC on thursday i was in the yellow reg cab rt

[@ThatTurboDakota]

@@jasoncullins4367 yup! The first RT I had was yellow. I miss that one

[@TboneDuggins]

Bro I just watched the 5 lug conversion video but can't comment on it because KZbin says it's a kids video. I can't figure out what company provides the tubular control arms you talked about, let alone the Facebook page you mentioned. Google is no help! Please help! 😊

[@ThatTurboDakota]

@@TboneDuggins it was a place out of Canada, but they did a limited run and I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna do anymore. Pay like close attention to Hipotek. He’s in the middle of developing a tubular upper.

[@ThatTurboDakota]

Epic rod and custom was the place in Canada

[@TboneDuggins]

@@ThatTurboDakota awesome thanks I'll look them up, I know X2 Industries and Airbagit have tubular arms but they're so expensive! I have a second spare set of stock arms I might be tempted to make a jig during the winter. I'm no welder but I for a buddy who's a pro and maybe we can make our own. I've looked into hipotek stuff they for some awesome stuff. Thanks for the reply
