Message: i just bought a skid plate off of ebay and the guy i bought it from said it would fit a genIII dakota i just received it and guess what it is not even close to being the right one.does any one know what this will fit??? if anyone wants it email me and give me a reasonable price.
this is what the guy said on his ebay auction..
THIS FRONT DIFFERENTIAL SKID PLATE WILL FIT 1997 TO CURRENT DODGE DAKOTA 4X4. I BOUGHT AN INSTALLED THIS ITEM FOR 5000 MILES AND THEN TRADED THE TRUCK. THIS SKID PLATE IS NOT EVEN SCRATCHED OR RUSTY. IT STILL HAS THE FACTORY SHINY BLACK PAINT. I WILL INCLUDE ALL THE HARDWARE. IT IS SIMPLE TO INSTALL. A SKID PLATE IS CHEAP INSURANCE FOR A DAMAGED FRONT AXLE. NO RESERVE. CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTION FOR THE TRANSFER SKID PLATE.
check it out..

Message: They should fit. The larger one would go on beginning with the front cross member just about where the bottom of the radiator is. Look on the cross member for at least two of the three holes. The other one look like it would protect the front differential drive shaft.
