 Subject: Vulnerable Front End
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a '01 Dakota QuadCab 4.7L. Right behind the front bumper you can find the transmission cooler in front of the radiator(stock). I feel this is vulnerable spot for large rocks or potential road kill. If something were to rip off or penatrate the transmission cooler/radiator I would be hurting for a way to get home. Also where do you tow from? Is there a bolt-on I can add for more protection and a tow point?
I have looked at the Westin Safari bar but it doesn't have a place to pull from.
Thanks,
Wayne

Check out what I did. Draw-tite Front mount receiver and skid plate. It may not look as good as some bull bar or something, but it does the job.

The pictures are too dark to see anything but the yard next to your rig. It appears to tuck out of the way very well though.

I made my own "custom" grills out of 3/8 inch mesh stainless steel
screen which I purchased from Pegasus Automotive Racing Products
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/
(they completely protect my trans cooler and radiator from any road
or trail debris/rocks)

Kevin,
Can you put a drop light on it when you take the picture? That, or turn your rig around so the sun is shining on the front of it. I would really like to see this front hitch. It is obviously well tucked out of the way.
