    A big hello, and sorry we missed you as a CA Quadder. I travel the 580 corridor quite often to Livermore to train my dogs, so you and Carl look for the 2wd White Quad with two big dog crates in the bed carrying my two German Shepherds!

    Just back from 70 miles of backpacking in the mountains of New Mexico with the Boy Scouts. Dropped a belt size as well as turning 50. Can't think of a better way to keep a positive attitude.

    Use the Quad as my daily driver. I started with the basic SLT package and have the following stats:

    Light Driftwood, 4.7L, 5sp manual, 4x4, 3.55 rear with LSD, T&H group, HD package, 4W ABS, bucket seats, heated 6x9 mirrors with the defrost solid rear window, PENDA liner, TekStyle soft tonneau, ball on the bumper for light towing, added the Mopar door sills, front slush mats and rear tray, installed the $13 mud flaps all around, am adding Catz MSC "real" yellow fog-lights in the factory holes by next weekend. Don't have the overhead compass / temp console. Picked it up May 4 and just passed the 2,500 mile mark this week. Plan to have it a long time so I purchased the shop manual (Big Orange Book = BOB).

    Married and have two sons, 20 and 17, and all of their friends in our refrig. Did I mention that I had to allow my wife to get two kittens, named "Black" and "Tan", in exchange for her allowing me to get the Quad. Live in the relative flatlands of central PA within an hour of tpmiller's home in "hard-coal country" and 2.5 hours from bookitty's Phila-hood.

    I live in (believe it or not) Cool, California, located about an hour NE of Sacramento. I am a 39 year old elementary school teacher.

    I own a 2000 QC, 3.9 liter, 2wd, 5 speed with a 3.55 axle ratio. The truck is driftwood color w/ agate interior (and griege headliner). I have the SLT Decor Group (A/C, cruise, tilt) and the SLT Plus Decor Group (T&H package, power locks, windows and 6x9 mirrors). I ordered the truck (via CarOrder.com) on 4/11, it shipped on 5/12 and was
    delivered to my house on 6/7.

    I have added a rubber bed mat, a tailgate protector, body side molding and a Yakima Q-Tower rack.

    I currently have about 2K miles on the vehicle. No problems yet, (except for that little dent from the door opening into a concrete barrier!).

    Thanks to Andy_Jordan and Thermacguy for working at getting this forum going. As a reader of the "old" message boards, I gained a lot of helpful, friendly information on the QC, and reading the posts certainly helped pass my time as a "QuadWaiter".

    Hey Teckno,

    just got my password. just wanted to say hello to all and thanks for all the information that was passed along by all the "quad" owners. It has been very helpful. thankfully, I haven't experienced and problems ( trans, etc). THIS IS THE BEST TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED!. been driving Chevy's for 30 yrs. HANDLING, PERFORMANCE, STYLING!I have started to ADD things to it. add LINE-X sprayed-in bedliner as soon as I picked the truck up. very impressive! will add WESTIN safari bar and nerf bars shortly. what I plan on doing is having line-x sprayed on both. should help keep maintainance down to a minimum. also, intense performance is offering air intake tubes with S&B filters. should be as good as K&N. that's it for now.

    Boy, its hard to heep up with all the QC forums. I've been a frequent lurker and occasional poster in the old QC boards and the newer Owners forum (muchas gracias to those responsible for moving us forward)

    Ben Sparks, screen name o' bsparx (bsparx@aol.com)

    No relation to Cowtown Aggie (Preston ) that I know of, but maybe the attraction to the QC is genetic...

    Patriot Blue 00 QC 4x4 4.7 auto with everything but rear defroster and power seat Put on a leer cab-high shell, but not the fancy one. Didn't want the Durango look, or I'd 've bought one of them.

    Live in Oakland, CA so I'm hoping to see newquad, carls5, guanner, quark99, and ??? on the road.

    Married, with 2 boys, 26 mo. and 3 mo. Bought the quad off the lot on my birthday (31) in February, because I couldn't figure out how to get 2 child seats into my 2.5 door F150 supercab. Also do as much surfing as I can, so if you norcal quadders see a longboard on the roof in the summer or a shortboard in the back in the winter, that's me. Spend most weekends waterfowling in the fall, so the Lab has always liked my trucks. Both of these are on hold, though, anytime I can't tear myself away from the little fellas...

    Love the truck and these forums are damn good too. Thanks, everyone

  • zonkzonk Member Posts: 208
    With your young ones, did you get the child safety stuff for the back seat?
  • bsparxbsparx Member Posts: 84
    Zonk-
    No, haven't needed it yet. The older one is very big (41 lb / 39" at 24 mo. checkup) and uses a booster-type seat. The baby is still in a backward facing one which clips into a base you strap down with the belt. When he's 20 lb/1 yr and goes to forward facing, I will go in for the tether attachment for his side.

    BTW, the roof in my DD QC is higher above my head than that in any of my Fords (82 Ranger, 87 Mazda Ranger, 91 Exploder, 92 F250, 98 F150) which is something I notice as I'm 6'3". Anyone still on the fence about buying a Quad, don't worry about the comfort. My back thanks me daily for the negative roll suspension ( now I realize Fords handle like rowboats) and the bucket seats. I'm 220 lb and think its a great ride (6600 mi so far). Have fun everyone....

  • tecknoteckno Member Posts: 30
    tjump,
    Yakima clips Q62 fit the roof of the QC. Although there is very little room between the door and roof, the clips seem to fit well. It LOOKS like a good fit, there is very little crushing of the weather stripping and no extra wind noise.
  • myersedmyersed Member Posts: 102
    Teckno- does the clip actually mount so as to compress the rubber of the seal against the roof, or is the rubber lifted away from the roofline so as to compress the clip direcly to the roof?

    I have not seen these roof racks and am not clear on the mounting system and how it is actually held in place. I am wanting to get a roofrack system that will be well above the roofline for my canoe.

    I had a Q-tower based rack on my previous vehicle, and the clips went only against the body. I can not conceive how the clips would go OVER the wx stripping as that would a) destroy the stripping, and b) make the door leak water. The Q-towers, when properly mounted, have a STRONG grip on the body. I haven't put the Q-tower rack on the top of my Quad yet because my wife was nice enough to give me the Mirage rack for my birthday - so I don't yet need the roof rack to carry anything (considering putting it on her Tercel though).

    Cheers,
    -Ted
  • tecknoteckno Member Posts: 30
    There are two different rubber seals, one is attached to the cab around the entire door, the other is along the roofline only (down to the bottom of windshield). I am not sure exactly what the "official" term is for these seals? The clips are shaped to fit OVER the upper weather seal. After curving over this seal, the clip is bent (about 90 degrees) to place the end, against the metal between the top and bottom seal The clips lightly touch the top weather strip.

    Looking at the truck and clips before mounting, I did not see how it could possibly work. After mounting I was impressed w/ the fit I can't say for sure how weatherproof it is , but I have had Yakima racks on my last 2 vehicles w/o a problem.
  • tecknoteckno Member Posts: 30

    The only problems since I took delivery, are
    a mis-aligned front bumper, and the silver paint
    flaking inside the light housing on back of the
    cab. 4500 miles thus far. I am chalking the booming with any rear window open at higher speed
    to a design mistake. I'm getting WindeFlectors to
    solve that.

    Hi folks. My name is Tim Gill and I live in Tucson, AZ. Just got a nice deal on a '00 Dakota Reg Cab 4WD. I was lucky to find this truck at Chapman Autoplex in Scottsdale and paid Invoice for it. Internet searches showed that it was the last one of this type in Arizona. I traded in a '99 Mazda B3000 4WD. The Mazda was a very capable vehicle for off-roading, so I don't want to dis it too severely. But for road trips (I drive from AZ to CO once or twice a year), it was, in all honesty, underpowered and noisy. So, I started searching for an upgrade. Stumbled across the Reg Cab Dakota and made a quick decision to purchase the truck (it qualified for the $2000 rebate, so that helped). Many people prefer the the CC or QC Dakotas, but the Reg Cab fits my needs fine. In fact, this truck feels more like a slightly scaled down 1/2 ton instead of an oversized compact. It looks great, has an outstanding drive train, and is very roomy and comfortable. The details:

    2000 Regular Cab 4X4 SLT Plus. 4.7L with 5-speed manual. Two tone White with Driftwood. Mist Gray interior. HD Service Group, Skid Plate Group, Fog Lamps, 3.92 Axle Ratio, LSD, T/H Group, Power Door Locks, Mirrors, Windows and Remote Keyless Entry, Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel. Unfortunately, 4 Wheel ABS, Sliding Rear Window, and Tow Group were not available. Oh well, I was lucky to stumble onto this dream of a truck, so I shouldn't complain! I'm very pleased with my purchase...
  • mailman54mailman54 Member Posts: 111
    Timothy, glad to see I am not the only 00 Dakota 4.7 Regular Cab owner. I have a 2wd with automatic and love it. Also have the 3.92 gearing and wouldn't trade it for anything. Happy RCing!

    Mailman
  • xena1axena1a Member Posts: 286
    Thanks Mailman. Not all us need CC or QC Dakotas. I think the Reg Cab is a bit underrated. It's exterior proportions are superb. Combine it's good looks with a great engine and outstanding ride characteristics, and you've got a winner. Glad you are happy with yours. I'm certainly delighted with mine...

    Just got my edmunds password.

    My name is Brian DeLisa and I live in Kent, WA. I'm 27, married (No kids, we got married in April). I have a BS in metallurgical engineering and work in QA for a local heat treating company.

    Just picked up my '00 CC SLT on 7/22 and have since put 400+ miles on it (I live REAL close to work). It's patriot blue two-tone, agate interior, SLT + package, towing, HD service group, LSD, 3.92, 4.7 V8, Auto, bucket seats, CD/tape, bug deflector, fuel pump ticking, partridge in a pear tree.....

    I will be adding mud flaps, spray on bed liner (probably line-x) and a tool box in the not to distant future.

    This is my first new vehicle, and I LOVE IT!! It turns better than my '87 Maxima ever thought, and its 30+ inches longer! I looked at the Tacoma and Tundra, but liked the Dakota best.

    Thanks to everyone who has posted to the dakota groups for the past nine months; you answered a lot of questions for this longtime lurker.

    My name's Neil and I'm from the Ocala, FL area. I'm a retired USAF Navigator originally from Memphis, TN. I'm divorced with a son in graduate school.

    I bought a white two-tone QC SLT at Dodgeland of Columbia, Columbia, SC (long story). I started to get the V-6 Sport with 5 spd, but decided to go with the 4.7 and automatic after looking around and reading comments on this site. It has the agate interior, PS, PW, PL, large mirrors and heated rear window.

    Decided to go with the HD and Tow packages in case I ever begin towing my Harleys. Hopefully, that'll be a long time off. Right now, I ride the bikes more miles per year than I drive. Luckily, the FL weather allows me that privilege.

    Looking at adding fender flares, but the two-tone treatment makes them look strange (to me). May just go with flaps. Any recommendations?

    Considering toneau covers and liners. Have enjoyed the members comments on the site. I'm leaning towards a Bedrug and the folding toneau cover or the factory 3 way opener. Anyone with an input?

    Love the QC so far. Definitely fits me better than the Ranger/Mazda (too small) and the F-150 (too large). It was "just right."

    Have to admit the new F-150 Ltd Ed (Harley-Davidson) would have been appropriate though :-) One in paper with 600 miles for $33,777!!! in Columbia, SC.

    If you see a white QC with a MIA/POW Rememberance plate on the front wave, it'll be me.

    Neil
  • resqmanresqman Member Posts: 71
    Welcome Neil! Always need more contributors.

    I have the two tone paint and added the fender flares. I think it helps define the start/stop of the two tone. If you have the tire & handling package you will need them to keep the tires covered.

    Happy Motoring

    Just ordered an 01 Black Sport Quad Cab today with an anticipated delivery date of 10/15. Can I really wait that long??? :-{

    4.7 V8, LSD, Leather/Pwr Seat, AJK Deluxe Convenience, AJL Overhead Convenience, AJP Convenience, HD Cooling & Service, Fogs, 6X9 Heated Mirrors, AM/FM/CD/Cassette/Infinity, Steering Wheel Radio Controls, Alarm, Trailer Group and rear slider.

    Plan to add spray-in liner, rolltop tonneau, grill guard (Wife likes MOPAR bar), running boards, bug deflector and other dress-up goodies TBD.

    I've been married for 15 years and have two kids, 9 and 12.

    Currently have a '94 Eddie Bauer 4x4 Explorer that needs replacing. Needed something with a V8 to pull pop-up camper more easily. Was looking at 1-2 year old V8 Explorer or Expedition but ran across NEW Quad Cabs for same or less money and never looked back.

    Hoping for a short build time so I can get the QC on the road. Great forum you have here and did lot's of reading and research before making a decision. I sure liked the test drive and actually (on purpose), missed the turnoff on the highway back to the dealership so I could drive it a bit longer. :-) :-)

    My QC: 2001 White/Silver SLT+ 4x4, 4.7L Auto, 3.55 LSD, Towing, Fog Lights, HDSG, Sliding Rear Glass,Skid Plates,CD. A Soft Tonneau and Spray in Bedliner in the works, along with some better off-road tires.

    I currently have a 97 Explorer and 1988 S10 Blazer as well. The QC replaced my older Dodge Ram 4x4. So I've covered all the big three.

    Very glad to have my Quad Cab. I'm confident it'll be all I need.
