Is there a reason why the 3rd gen dakotas dont have roll pan bumpers for them?

 

Good question i wouldnt mind having one, or and all metal bumper like dodgetrucker.

 

i want one so bad

 

Street scene makes one for an 05-06 ... Im sure it would fit all the way up to 10 though as the rear end hasnt really changed. I was going to do one on mine, but if someone hits me from behind the whole rear end would be crunched.

It looks like it costs around $225 and no one has a picture of it.

 

Aww i didnt think of that

 

I would realy like to see a picture of one but i cant find one on google.

 

I cant find a pic of his, but BadAssR/T has one on his Dakota... Roll Pans are out there, just in limited numbers for our trucks.

 

Ill send him a PM

 

One thing to remember with roll pans is if you have a visual inspection on your vehical, there is a chance it wont pass. Here in wisconsin we only have emissions, so I wouldnt worry but Im not sure what you have in Penn. But if anyone takes a look underneath your truck and they see you dont have a rear bumper, you might not pass. The ways around this is to fabricate a rear bumper behind the roll pan, like what is in the front, or even a trailer hitch could do the trick. If it were me, I would want something behind that roll pan. When I got rear ended this fall, I was happy to have the stock bumper. It got destroyed and was $500 to replace, but it sure saved the bed of my truck and the frame/drivetrain underneath. IMO, if you go with a roll pan, make sure you still have something there to protect yourself and your truck from all the idots out there.

 

Yeah not a bad idea... I guess this would have been worse with a roll pan
