  I am pretty sure the GenIII daks (and durangos) are wider than the GenII
models, so it will probably stick out. Seems like I recall some folks
discussing this quite a while ago (I think back when the 9.25 first
became availalbe in Daks.) If I had a GenIII I'd measure it for you,
but I don't. :-( Maybe you could get whoever owns it to measure it
for you, or perhaps another DMLer could measure their 9.25 equipped
GenIII?

  Sorry, that's probably not a lot of help, but I would recommend holding
off on a purchase until you've got some exact measurements as I am fairly
certain it is wider than the GenII. Wether it is wider than what you are
willing to deal with though, I don't know...
