FOR FACT the 2005-the new 2012's the REAR bumber stays the same
ive heard two stories..
the front bumper some ppl say they stayed the same..
ive also heard that the 2005-2007 are the same and then the 2008+ are all the same....the chasis setting all stayed the same but i think the 08' got like a hair wider....
the one on your website looks actually like an exact fit... maybe if you extended the mounting brackets out a little more it will fit the 2008+
bcuz from your pic its also a hair wider then the fender ASSUMING its the same on both sides
Great job BTW!

I am in the painstakingly, obnoxiously long process of making my own. I believe that the 08+ Dakota's are different, but i could always draw you up prints to make your own, If you want, and can take some dimensions for me. But i'd wait till i get the mock up for mine done first.
Hopefully this weekend (and i've been sayin that for the last month and a half) I can get out of bed Saturday morning, and get in to work, and resume working on this beast. I have made a few design changes since i have posted this. I am also including a home made brush guard with it also. It will have the protectors for the head lights just like the Westin, or other main brand brush guards.
*There is a few others on here that have done similar bumpers like Dodgetrucker, and I have done / are doing. Search for them. They look good. *
