Looks great. I like the ridge runner look. Great look with the bumper.

Hey now......Long time no chitter - chatter!
Ugh....The Lost Dakota has been down & out for quite a while, it developed an electrical issue, with limited time and interest....I let it sit. I read about the same issue by other Ford owners, they just kept throwing parts & money at their rigs with no results....I couldn't find the resolution required on line & was unwilling to throw money at it recklessly.....UNTIL....Until I found an article concerning the ECM/ECU and exploding capacitors....I removed mine, opened it up and BAM....there it was, a 75 cent exploded capacitor.....ebay replacement ECM/ECU....$200 bucks..EEEK! I set out and found my local TV repair guy, replaced all 3 capacitors costing 2 bucks, and started singing that old Willie Nelson song......On the road again, I can't afford to fill the tank but, I'm on the road again.......

Since my last up date, I built a swing out tire carrier off the stock bumper, I didn't like it.........So I then built a false ladder, which is actually the spare tire carrier, works great, looks like it belongs.
