KC lights are nice, PIAA are sweet too but pricey. The ones in the bumper are the stock 4" and the ones in the grill I believe 6". I want to see what the blue halogens would look like in the bumpers.

I agree, lights things up nicely...

Next step is to design a skid plate for the dakota that is not too heavy and will match up with the bumper.

LOL yeah where do you buy that? Probably be half the cost of the truck.

I was thinking 1/4 plate for strength but with oval cutouts to lower the surface area for less weight.

Do you guys pull your airbag fuses when off-roading? I have heard of guys setting them off but the impact would have to be equivalent of over 30km/h (18.6mph)

I have come up with a new design due to people mentioning the front being a bit low. (Limits some clearance). So there is two versions now. I may make the Slim design in the near future.
