Last Trip in the Lifted 1999 Dodge Dakota 4x4- Table Mesa Road Arizona

I bought this 1999 Dakota to replace the fun we had in the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I knew it needed brakes and new front axles..but it was a great deal!!!!......wrong. I first spent 800 putting new front rotors/pads then drums/shoes and the new axles, then the Rear bearings. I thought it was a tank. Then we took it to Sedona on Broken Arrow trail, then the grand canyon...went WAY backcountry- muddin- Saw a mountain lion- it handled great! Broke a bolt on the front left shock. Spent $900 replacing front lower /upper control arms, bushings and Ball joints. HEY, might as well throw new Ranchos on it. 1 week later, slammed on my brakes as a boy ran in front of me in the street- That Broke the front wheel hub. $320 later. We took it up the mountain trail you see. Went up it beautifully. On the way down...broke the other hub. BYE BYE Dakota.

This was the Last trip. Now i bought a 2003 Xterra. Thats my toy now. SCREW THE DAKOTA.
