| Bryan's 1997 Dodge Dakota SLT |
Bryan bought this truck in 2001 as a replacement for the 1988 Dakota (the Cherry) that he had been driving while we were in high
school. Since then he has dropped a small fortune into modding the hell out of this thing
This Dakota has a 5.2L V-8 which he had rebuilt to 300hp (over the 225 stock output) by C.J Racing in Auburn, IN. Bryan also put a
functional ram air system on it in the summer of 2004 which is good for a few more ponies, especially out on the road.The exhaust
runs through a 2.5" cat back exhaust with a Ravin muffler. He also had 4.10 gears and a posi-locker installed in the rear end in
2005. In addition to these engine/driveline mods Bryans has lowered it 4 inches, had a custom fiberglass bedcover and bumper
put on it, and has a set of 16" aluminum American Racing rims with BFG GForce TAs 245/50R16s all the way around. It's an
extremely quick little truck; I'd really like to see what it could do at the drag strip.
Recently Bryan has been talking about selling it, but I don't know if he's really going to do it or is just thinking it over... it'd be a
shame to get rid of something he's put so much time and money into.
