    You’ll need something that effectively dyes the plastic material. It’s not conducive to any sort of adhesive holding up over time so I bet vinyl would just peel off if it got warm enough.

    I wonder if this would work:

    I myself would like a black dash but I’d be worried it would start to flake off, either by itself or with rubbing over time. Would be a mess to fix.

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.
    Does that propane tank belong to Beatrice Foods? I hope for your sake it does.

    Looks like the elo96 dakars? Did you get the SES or off road timbrens?

    I am running dakars and debating right now between sumo springs or timbrens. I know they both have their pros/cons. Would like to hear the ride report after you get a chance to use them under various conditions.

    I am running Dakar’s and I got the off road timbrens. I’ll keep you posted on how they preform once I get some mileage on them.

    You might be on to something here.... this video seems to show how to paint/dye the plastic without peeling or chipping. I'm gonna have to try this out!

    I’m thinking I may try it on a small piece and see how it holds up to some abuse.

    I use an empty plastic bottle under that nipple.... Worked great for 10 years until I forgot it this last oil change. It hung in there for about 1,500 miles until I figured out what the "bad belt tensioner bearing" sound REALLY was!! :rofl::anonymous:

    That's the model I'm debating on, I'm excited to hear the report!

    How much clearance is there when the truck is sitting?

    Locking gas cap doesn't have a leash, at least that's my excuse.
