sorry i dont know about skid plates. but i have an idea. on any/all bolts use anti-seize compond, on threads. i know a framer that has a lot of machines that go in the ground. he uses anti-seize on all blots that go in the ground. they ALL WAYS come out. he saves a lot of money when he can reuse the bolts. i use anti-seize on ALL threads on the bottom, brake parts, brake tubing nuts. youll NEVER BE WITHOUT.

My best guess is if it is the same year maybe. I suggest taking a look at the parts manuals. We got the Dakota part manuals in here in the FAQ and I believe the Durango section has the same. Next option is to look at an OEM website which has the parts manuals on their sites. Like https://www.dodgeparts.com/index.php

This sounds like SPAM since it has almost nothing to do with anything the OP asked. But checking out your posts you don't appear to be a Spamer.

i believe the 97-99 dakota and 98-99 durango have the same, and the 2000-2004 are the same. (might be earlier idk the body style change year for the durango)

No I don't wish that.
I was just stating that your post is WAY off topic to his question. Yes skid plates use bolts to hold them on, but there was no question about bolts. I can see if the OP question was about a stuck bolt or something. It almost sounded like you were a spammer selling anti-seize.
