yes that one looks good. I cant believe the prices of these things, great find! I "assume" they all mount to the front body mounts (where my tow hooks are).

The last one is made with a 3" bar, the first two are made with 2" bar. Get the 3" for a tougher look.

I followed your 3rd link from above, but in the menu I now see the Dakota bull bars are all 2" from Truck Gear Direct. A 2" bar is kind of thin, I would definitely suggest getting a 3" bull bar.
I've seen some of the thinner ones (2") on some SUV's, and they looked a little fragile to me.
