the more i look at it, the more i dont like the look of it. it does not flow well with the body lines of our gen dakotas at all. our daks are all nice and smoothed out, with rolled edges. the bumper is boxy, doesnt cut it for me. i dont even trust the factory bumper mounts on my dakota, they look weak as hell.

well, the bumper and mounts on stock cars and trucks are meant to crush and absorb the impact, they're designed to take the hit so your frame and you don't sustain as much damage

I looks good if your going to take your truck off road, but fox is right it doesnt go with out daks. It def looks like he did a really good job making it and looks like an awesome bumper, but not for our trucks.
