Ouch, Bill that sucks.

rengnath, that roll pan looks great man.

 

Thanks Blown.

I saw that picture in another thread when I was searching for roll pan threads (there are only about 3) and its definetly in the back of my mind. I was rear ended once, and where I was hit the bumper didnt even help, except to cost more in damage since it was pushed in to the side of the bed. A new bumper is $500 from Mopar.

After taking it apart, I cant believe how little protection there is stock. The only thing that will save you in an accident is the factory "hitch" that comes on all of the Dakotas. The bumper is nothing more than a thin piece of chromed steel that you can lift with a pinky. And the hitch that runs behind the bumper wont protect you unless someone hits you straight on. So yes, the roll pan does remove protection, but if you get rear ended, not much will save you regardless. Ill just say that I wont be brake checking tailgaters anymore ....

 

But you could throw your blue lights on them, though... ; )

 

I have a 1,000,000 candle power spot light that I keep in the front seat

It gets used a few times a week ..... I normally get the finger after I blind them, so I guess they get the point.

 

haha yeah that was almost 3 yrs ago... HOLY CRAP, I cant believe its been that long ago!

 

DAMMNNN!!!

But look on the bright side: At least you didn't loose your nutz!!!!

 

His nutz sure have been through alot .....

 

LMAO, I have one too, just don't flash a "certain" someone who has there high beams on and wont turn them off after you flash them with the headlights. Yea, it was a State Trooper. a$$h013

 

Haha, lmao! I normally only use it for people in front of me. If they are coming at me, it takes too long to roll the window down and aim it. Lol. And if you point it through the windshield, most of it comes back in your face as glare. The light definetly gets some peoples attention.

 

Rengnath i have the same light i got from pepboys that you are probably talking about and it is amazing!
