it depends what you run, dakotas ( like mine) do fairly well around here stay away from jap trucks and s10's the back ends sky rocket, ether drop the tailgate, or fold the box sides its really personal preference

i've seen a s-10 5speed win against dakotas, astro vans, and blazers. thing showed no damage. had the rear of the bed folded and it kept doing reverse shots.

heres the dakota i built couple yrs ago this is how i biult it....i replaced all the body n bed bolts with 3/4 inch threaded rod...welded bed to cab...welded a-arms to the frame...i didnt drop the tailgate down on this one but i would recommend it...i would also recommend suckin the rear down some... ran a 4 point cage with halo and gas tank protector "deff recomended"....i threw my mini car bumper on it witch is n 80's regal bumper....i ran threaded rod threw the core support and thre the frame.....when u replace the bed bolts with threaded rod run them threw the frame aswell.....i didnt put enough time in the rear as it should have been but it was my first mini truck build....but heres the aftermath like i said i didnt put the time in the rearend but deff add leafs and clamp em.....the frame gave right in front of the front shackles on both sides.....i believe if i woulda at least dropped the rear it wouldnt have dun it but who know lol....i hope this helps some ppl!! Oh and the front never moved!! i used it just as much ass the rear! Herron45r
