French actually had 2 Dakotas, although not at the same time LoL. His first was a 1999 club cab, V6, 5-speed Manual Sport model he bought used to get back and forth to trade school.

 

 

 

It was a beautiful little truck with tinted windows and a nice single in dual out (on the same side) custom exhaust. Unfortunately fate had other plans and French was cut off by a distracted driver while on his way to school and the truck was a total loss.

 

 

 

His replacement truck was a brand new Dakota club cab with the upgraded 4.7L V8 paired with a 5 speed automatic transmission. French installed a nice Flowmaster exhaust for a deep sound and a Westin Bull bar fitted with a pair of Hella 500 lights. 

 

 

When not in school the Dakota was put hard to work hauling Bikes & Sleds to every crew event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When French finished trade school he fitted the truck with a sleek work cap with ladder rack so he could easily work in the refrigeration trade.

 

 

The Dakota served French well for work and play, he even kept it after acquiring a full size work truck in 2007 removing the cap from the Dakota to return it to personal use.

 

Cheers, MIKE
