missed the part about you having the 2.4 motor - that part is s much better than the sandwich adaptor for the 2.6 - now I want to see if it would work on the 2.6. I assume you were talking to someone else about the lip, as I have a front air dam from my 1991 dogkota that I beat the snot out of it and after 10 years managed to slightly tear it under neath. It is going on my Dad's 89 long bed once I replace the front bumper.
