  Hmmm redux, the dealer told me they had flaps embossed with a "Dakota"
logo for $20/flap. Perhaps they've found a source other than Mopar,
but I wasn't interested enough in an $80 set of mud flaps to look any
deeper.

  I know how you feel, but after checking my '95, it looks like there are
two possibly-usable current holes. I think I'd have to drill one more
in the plastic that constitutes the bottom of the wheel well. I'm not
too worried about that.

  I really wish that a molded set existed that would fit around the
current moldings.

  Thanks for the reply,
