You won't find one on a Dak unless it is custom. I already emailed Westin and they have no plans to make the Bull Bars for our Daks or another mid-size stating to check out their Safari Bars which are OK but the Bull Bar's skid plate and thicker tubing just looks better IMO.
I have been tossing around paying $350 for the Bull Bar and modifying it to fit or $150 for the Pro-Comp Pre-Runner Bar which requires some bumper stiffening(if you have a body lift) to keep the lights from vibrating annoyingly.
Bottom line, is I want a place to put a couple off-road lights on the front of my truck without cluttering and covering up the front end. With that in mind, I will probably go with the Bull Bar and order a Ram version this week. With a little work I will have a one-of-a-kind until or if Westin makes a model specifically for our Daks.
I have already looked at how they mount(saw a full-size Ram parked with the chrome one so I snuck a peak:) It looked bad-ass compared to the Safari Bar even thought no lights were mounted. It will require making new mounting brackets since the Bull Bar is wider than the Safari Bar and our frames are several inches narrower than the Ram's. I will bolt it to the outside of frame so it won't interfere with how the bumper attaches at all on top of frame. I will probably "stiffen" up the front bumper with some extra or heavier brackets If I have time, since I'll be working around the front-end anyway.
Sorry for the long post but I get excited when talking about adding mods to my truck:)

Sounds like it will work, but sounds kinda expensive for that bar. I might do some searching around and see if I can find someone that can fab one.

I just ordered a few other bolt-on goodies so I am holding off on anything for the front-end right now. Let me know if you find someone that can make a cool one for cheaper and maybe we can do a GB with them:)
