I have a 2000 Dakota and the front bumper is rusting. My friend has a newer Dakota and his front bumper is covered in plastic where mine is rusting. Is this a cover or is it a whole bumper?

It is a cover. There is a steel frame behind it, not a full bumper. A plastic bumper alone will not absorb impact.
To stop rust (mine had it too), find a new one on eBay. Will not cost too much. Have it sand blasted to bare steel. Use a good etching primer to stop rust, repaint. Had mine painted to match body color, looks good.

Wouldn't it be easier to just paint the cover?

'00 has an exposed steel bumper with a lower plastic valance. the bumper was either painted or chrome. 01-up were covered with a plastic bumper cover/valance all in one. i guess if you searched the salvage yards you could upgrade your '00

Would a 2001 bumper just bolt right up or would I need different mounting parts?

Well I was searching ebay and came across both bumpers. Would I need any extra mounting hardwear to mount the 2001 bumper? Or should I just order a 2000 steal bumper and paint that?
