Disregard this thread
Edit - I figured it out. Please disregard this thread. I can't delete it...maybe the mods can.

You should post your findings here for future reference, Jeremy.
It's just a pull-and-yank, right?

Unclip/pull out the entire dash assembly and it pushes out from behind. Don't pry on the plastic from the outside there are detents that need to be depressed.

Would this be a similar motion as removing the headlight switch? Push the locker to the right before you can pull it out?

Two small tabs on each side, about 1/4" - 1/8" from the top and bottom. I moved the switch to the left side, put a small screwdriver in from the bottom on the right side and carefully depressed the tab on the bottom then top of the right side. Once the right side was free, it slid right out. Patience is the key here. Oh, and I managed to
not break it.

Nothing major. I'm using the location beside the 4x4 selector to mount a switch that will activate my giant ape.

I mounted a light up back up ( for my auxillary lights) switch just below the 4x4 in that cover. Looks really cool.
