I have a 98 dodge dakota, 4 cylinder standard 2 wheel drive (rear wheel). with a standard bed. I was wondering if it were possible to xtend this without extending the frame? I go dirtbiking but can only fit 2 bikes in my truck, I want to be able to fit my friends 250 quad (standing upright against the cab, and then 2 bikes, is this possible? Would I be able to go to pick a part, grab an extended bed from a dodge, and switch them out or would it not fit do to teh frame? Thanks!
Ahhh I see, makes sense, lol and yeah, truck doesnt have too much power but it would definitly carry 2 bikes and a quad no problem, i used this lil pick up when i recently moved, and i pretty much took EVERYTHING in it, and no matter how much weight i packed in, it didnt seam to phase it, lots of torque, but anyways, ill definitely look into a small trailer, makes more sense in the long run, thanks everyone!
 
It would not fit on the frame with out stretching it...they did make a long box dakota in 1997...but the problems are that the wheel wells would be in the wrong spot...and even then the rear portion of the box wouldn't be supported by the frame. It's not worth the money to do this modification. My suggestion is to get a small trailer or a larger truck.
 
The long bed pickup has a longer frame. Look at the wheel wells. Also, I doubt the 4 cylinder Dakota has the balls to carry a quad and two bikes. Get a trailer or a full size truck.
