2002-2004 Dodge Dakota Club Cab
Cummings 6BT
Allison auto or NV4500
Ford F250 Frame
Custom tube bed
Coils!!
48" tires + Tracks!!
Larger Dana or Eaton axles

I went with the Dodge Dakota Club Cab because I still wanted comfort and a narrow body. I wanted the 4dr to have room for family or my dog without crowding me. I wanted a narrower body so the axles will not be affected by the fenders. May use a custom tube / sheet metal hood and fenders, but I like the factory look and it should provide enough room for exhaust and accessories especially if I don't have to worry about fender wells. 6BT, have to have a Diesel since money doesn't matter. Allison Auto is probably what I would go with, still up in the air about wanting a stick but if not a NV4500 would be the next choice. F250 frame, from a Super Duty- TUFF. Custom bed, it would need to clear the tires and be able to haul a moose out if I wanted to go hunting. Coils for sure, I want the ride plus the suspension travel to crawl up to glaciers without too bad of a ride. 48" -52", once again I want to be able to cross Boggs, go over Mountains and drive up to Glaciers. I prefer not to go to huge for the center of gravity but I need to get over rocks and such. Tracks, I like the idea that I can go in Snow ever since I saw them on Steve’s jeep. Larger Dana or Eaton axles, I don't want Rocks because of the extra height required for the top loader style and this already comes with disc style brakes.
