Man this sucks...........I just installed some switches for my rear lights, under the cab rock crawling lights, and behind the grill Hella's. I put the switches where most of you have the 4x4 selector switch. Now I GOTTA buy this thing to do it right! Looks awesome fellas. Any thoughts on patching the dash where there are three 3/4" holes?

Very nice fix Brandon. I think I'll try that after I get my parts ordered and see if that new piece will work with my floor shifter. From your pics earlier, it looks like the shifter will clear.

[COLOR=black]I am in the process of installing this dash but have run into a snag. I see the two very top screws are overlapped by the upper dash panel. It seems I need to remover the radio (to access the screws above it) to be able to pull this upper dash back far enough to access the top two lower dash screws. I have been trying like crazy to remove the radio with a standard DIN radio removal tool and it just won’t do it!
Thoughts? Ideas? Do I really have to remove the radio to get this done? Thanks

Brian you don't have to pull the whole dash off. Go over to the right corner, near where the cig lighter / power port is, pull it away from there. you can pull the bottom of the upper dash out enough to get to the screw heads easily.
