1997-04 DODGE DAKOTA 2WD CROSSMEMBER
Get that Gen III Hemi swap started the right way, by using a fully engineered engine mounting system that provides maximum component clearances, ideal drivetrain geometry, and clearance for Hooker Blackheart swap headers & 3.00" exhaust system. The transmission crossmember is a modular design that allows the use of several different transmissions & uses a unique mounting bracket for each type of transmission. This design allows future transmission changes by swapping out on the transmission mounting bracket, instead of replacing the whole crossmember. This crossmember works with engine mounting brackets BHS541 (available separately) to locate the engine slightly forward & eliminates modifications to the firewall & brake booster. Hooker Blackheart swap headers & exhaust systems (available separately) are designed as part of the swap system & provide clearance with all the transmission options.

Very sturdy legs!
Style: Zig Zag, Size: 28 inch, Style: Zig Zag, Size: 28 inch
The legs are very well built and good looking, however, the screws included for installation are only 9/16" long which is not nearly enough for table legs of this size. I installed the legs on a 30" x 83" live edge oak tabletop that is full 2" thick. I purchased 1 1/4" screws for the install making the table very solid.

Heavy duty. Looks nice.
Style: Zig Zag, Size: 28 inch
These are great. They are VERY heavy duty. I used them with a butcher block counter to make a desk. Worked perfectly.

Good and attractive with a few finish issues.
Style: Zig Zag, Size: 28 inch
These are attractive and functional and work well. Some of the welds were not as precise as I would have liked, and a few places (not conspicuous) are missing a little of the finish, but overall they do what they're supposed to do.
I used them with a butcherblock counter top to create a desk for my office.

Very versatile table for many uses.
Style: Rectangular, Size: 28 inch
These legs work great for replacing a free standing rv dinette by reusing the table top . We didn’t need a table that converted to a bed. Nice fit and finish and great quality.
