what should i do about these ugly cracks??
i was thinking maybe a thin layer of bondo? or something. maybe undoing the pad from the metal support and making a fiberglass copy of it??

what have you other guys done about your cracked dash?? any help would be great. and sorry if i didnt search to hard. (i wanted to show my pix. lol)





heres what it looks like now. (still in the middle)

buying a new dash pad would most likely be the best idea

That dash pad is in real bad shape, you might try looking for another one thats in better condition.

dark_fairytales

mine is cracked and dried kind of like yours. i was thinking of going the the fabric store and get some felt to veneer over it.

How about getting it re-covered, perhaps at a (competent) leather shop?

My 4Runner dash is in good shape but my RX-7s dash is all turn up like that. I've often wondered if a leather shop could re-foam and glue leather down on it.

This will fix it.

You can always try asking Green Truck to make you one..

He does a nice job on the parts and has even done a black carbon fiber dash pad: http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=713338

with my truck, i just don't care. all my bumps and bruises (and believe me, there are a LOT) are, in a weird way, kinda a source of pride for me.

I know what you mean! In the spring, I want to repaint my truck, but I can't bring myself to fix all the dents first!

That green truck guy's work is really sharp pre84 guys should check it out.
