Where can you buy 2 wheel drive skidplates for a 00 dakota? Do they even make them for 2 wheel drives? I really want to protect what I can, so Im guessing they exist? who's are best? I hear the factory skid plates suck right? Any help is appreciated.

I have a 2001 4x4 and the skid plates are plastic. PLASTIC!!! I called around and nobody seems to know where to get them. I'm going to have to fabricate my own after I practically punched a rock right through my trans. oil plate.

The plastic plates are pretty tough. I rolled over a huge rock one day, amde a tremendous racket and you could feel the truck bounce over as I got a little high centered on it. Put a small gouge in the plate, that's all. I'm sure you could adapt them for a 4x4 without too much trouble.

Is your truck 2 or 4WD? What year is your truck also?

I have a 99 Dakota Sport 4x4 and I just bought all of the skid plates for my truck and they are STEEL!
Paid about 210 for mine.

I checked with the dealership and the ones that I bought will fit yours just fine. The only difference is that you wont need the transfer case skid plate LOL

I'll go home tonight and look up the part numbers for you.
