Removing the cubby beside the wheel

How the fuck do you do it.
Everything I search says just pull.
I've pulled and pried that fucker isn't coming out. The one to the left of the steering wheel

 

Pull harder.

 

If I pull any harder the dash will come with it

 

Cubby in the bed above wheel?

I’ve been able to remove by pulling either top down or bottom up just to loosen up. Once loose I think it removes easiest pulling top downwards.
That shit is stubborn so will take a little muscle


Edit-
Never mind. Realized your talking about cubby in the cab of truck.

 

Yoink on it like you're a 14 year old with his first playboy catalogue.

Hell, I'll do an Instagram Live demo pull (on my cubby, to be clear) for you later tonight if you want

 

That whole section is literally held in by clips, just pull on it and it will pop loose. Just gotta pull out and down at the same time

 

Trust me, I had to take that part out (I also took the cubby out) for some wiring. The cubby is held in by small Philips head screwdriver and can be a pain to get to if you don't want to take the whole bottom section off. I suggest getting a Philips bit for a drill and get a small ratchet wrench that it will fit into. Works like a charm

 

How can I get in on this yoink sesh?

 

Sesh! I dropped the first playboy I ever opened and ran out of the store. That’s a bad analogy. You have to wiggle it from side to side while you are yoinking on it.

 

Yeah...just pull. It may help to use some plastic panel removal tools to pry.

 

The whole piece with the switches in it that the cubby is in comes out. Slide a tool or butter knife between that piece and the dash and it’ll pop out.

Centerfold scared the shit out of you?

 

Your name suits you.

 

Is there any videos of this to see

 

The cubby removal or the yoink sesh?

 

This shows the clips holding it in: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/removal-of-dash-trim-around-cubby.495904/#post-15359073

 

That's how I felt when I took my door panels off for speakers. It didn't seem possible that it was gonna pop off, but it did.

 

Ask your girlfriend to do it.....

 

Those were awkward times in my life

 

I know this is an older thread but I’ll add what worked for me on cubby removal.

Using a small pry tool (sorry about wrapping it but I don’t have plastic tools) wedge it between dash and cubby on left side rock tool a little and cubby will let partially loose on that side. Put fingers in place of tool and pull out and down a little and it pops right off.
