I would not install a CV on any ladder type frame that has the ability to flex..

Steve is contemplating on reproducing the Dakota Kits. Do not look to see any new units for at least two years. He needs to build tooling to make it work and intrest in the product.

The Dakota i have in my 63 has the same weight ratings and bias as the 63 originally had with the same track width.

The current crop of MII based have been beefed up but have trade offs with weight.
