Would be interesting to get a custom metal dash like in the old day's made for our trucks...

 

Can you imagine how much that would weigh? We would lost like 2 mpg just in the dash.

 

Nah, I remember my grandparent's old Jeep Land Cruiser (the real ones), it had a metal dash, it wasn't real thick metal, probably around 1/16" to 1/8" thick I would guess...

Besides, we don't drive these trucks for their great mileage

 

You don't drive it for the mileage? I thought everyone did!

Maybe someone should make a brushed aluminum dash...

 

That would be cool!

 

Talk about an upgrade.

 

Most newer dash boards are made out of abs plastic and then they are warped in a vinyl or have a rubberized coating applied to them to make them stronger, our dodge dashes have neither.

 

guess I'm just lucky....my dash ain't cracked and I don't armor spray it either...It gets plenty of dust coating though! lol...I do usually park in the shade, and its rarely very hot around here.

 

^^ I never even HEARD about a dodge truck with a cracked dash till I moved down here. In western WA 2nd gen's are still nice trucks. Completely different market.

 

yeah, we just have to deal with our trucks turning green!

Damn algae lookin mossy crap gets between the door jams, in hard to wash places, and the weather stripping goes it hell here too.. oh and ya gotta buy new wiper blades at LEAST once a year...sometimes twice a year...always raining here...well raining more often than its sunny..that's for sure...
