We just put the Belltech Street shocks on our '99 Dakota. Almost all new front end on it now, sway bar links, tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints. Huge improvement in the ride!!

Dakota is starting to look awesome

Your attention to detail is impressive my man!

those oe ball joints are a nightmare. I'd mentally blocked the process out of my mind since sometime in 2003 8:32 chip n flow. chip n flow.

For my control arms I used and air chisel to zip the heads of the rev-its off then i use the air hammer to drive them out. They are ridiculous but it only took about 25 min per control arm. Good Luck!

Heck yeah man huge changes on that rig i love it

This is an amazing project, I want to take my 99 Dakota RT and swap in the drivetrain from an AWD 392 Durango.

Dang its a BGE block very nice 💯💯

The shop looks amazing John! I still remsmber the S2000 days!! 😂 Glad to see a true Mopar or No Car guy still going strong!!! Stay boosted!

The video we've been waiting for!!

How about making a 4x4 Dakota into an all-wheel drive track truck

You should convert your Dakota/hellkota into a AWD Dakota Hawk. It would be awesome to see.

Your doing a bang up job

I really enjoy your channel and wish I could be as meticulous as you are. Your desire to make everything the best it can be is seldom seem today. Please stick with Mopar if possible and keep up the great work!!

love your content. id like to see you hellcat swap the new charger.

Amazing as usual John thanks for sharing!!! Can’t wait for the next one on this build,it’s coming together beautifully!!!

Nothing but the best your work is top notch I'd definitely buy a build off you if I was looking for that type of truck, been following you for years you go above and beyond respect bro... definitely recommend

I know how much work it is rebuild a front end on a dakota ..mine..!! I am impressed the detail you put in to that project.! Really ! Thumbs UP !

Nice work as usual John plus I like that you are a perfection like myself when it comes to the finer details !

Awsome build I always found it easier to drill those rivets out in a drill press nice work.

Lookin good!!!👍👍👍👍👍

The channel is amazing 👏

Looking sharp John! Thanks for the detailed update!

Do a tkx 5 speed swap, theyre underated by tremec. Some guy on here has a 1200hp foxbody with one

Awesome build.

Alright so we can't call is ScatDak anymore... I dunno, I'm thinkin DakotaPhant..?? WhippleKota? Dakipple?? #ifyouaintfirstyourelast 🏁

Great job love how much u put in to detail and love watching your viedos keep up the great job

great1

Did you use the same lowering suspension kit on this truck as you did your blue one? Belltech?

You are the man

nice to see this one coming together! It looks like it is going to be a pure beast. Were those Viper brakes on the front?

I went through at least 7 sets of brakes before I purchased the power stop breaks. Best off the shelf brakes for this truck.

Wait, all that work and not clean/paint the trans. ?

Funny thing is you can get Mevotech new uppers and lower control arms for almost the same cost as buying the bushings and ball joints !

I want to put a hemi In my Monte Carlo ls

Wait until you see my 426 hemi car

Ey man quit working on this and get back on the rv 😂

Watch out.....the 3.0 Whipple blowers have MASSIVE bearing failure problems !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
