Re-dying a chest rig

How hard would it be to re-dye this from ranger green to a tan color?

Nearly impossible. You can dye something darker but unlike paint it doesn't work the other way. You could, theroetically bleach it and then dye it tan, but I wouldn't recommend it.

So maybe like coyote brown or something?

A dark coyote would be possible. You'd really need to monitor it though because it'd be really easy to overshoot coyote and go straight to a dark chocolate.
