Hello! My name is Christopher and I am just getting into the overland experience. I live in Waterford, Pennsylvania, just south of Erie, where Lake Erie is. I very recently just purchased a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 with 86k miles, Regular Cab with a 6.5ft bed for $3200. I bought it bone stock with only minor repairs needed. A week after the purchase, I traveled down to Pittsburgh to pick up a camper shell though it wasn't a direct fit(for older Dakota). Within this next week or so, I plan on buying a "high rise" shell specifically made for it. The tires needed replaced bad, so for now as winter tires/rims, I am using brand new rims and Goodyear Wrangler Radial's, 235/75/15. I do plan on using the stock 16's that I purchased it with for the daily in the other 3 seasons. I bought a brand new brush guard for it and either want to put on 2 KC round lights on it or a LED bar. Other than that, a rack will be placed on the shell and a hitch.
