so do you not think that it would be a good idea to put it on a dakota? i was thinking that with a few modifications it would look really good.

Hell yea it would be a good idea to put on a dakota. But what are you going to do, chop off 8" in the middle of it and weld it back together? How much wider are the Ram bumpers?

WOW! That might be the sharpest dakota I have ever seen, no lie. That thing is awesome, and everything on it is done with good taste.

i personally like the black look, but its got to look good to you... if you do a winch, make sure you build some good brackets and bracing, and is also a good idea to brace up the frame mounts so nothing moves on a good pull
