Body Exterior And Systems
Bumpers The sturdy frame-mounted front bumper system is the same as Dakota's. It provides protection for lamps, ornamentation and body sheet metal in standard 2.5-mph barrier and pendulum impacts and in 1.5 mph corner impacts. A molded plastic fascia attaches below the face bar. Concealed surfaces of the front bumper face bar are treated with a wax-base spray-on coating to resist corrosion. The fascia is applied over a frame-mounted, stamped steel bumper beam. This combination should be inexpensive to repair in the event of a collision. The rear bumper beam provides protection in low-speed collisions exceeding 2.5 mph. A one-piece mold-in-color black step pad protects the top surface of the fascia and snaps into the bumper beam to hold the fascia in place. Snap-in fasteners also attach the bottom of the fascia to the beam. A recess in the fascia provides a mounting surface for the license plate. The fascia wraps around beneath the quarter panels all the way to the rear wheel openings. A steel bracket and molded plastic splash shield assembly attached to the frame supports the leading edge of the fascia on each side of the vehicle. |
