    Ive got a switch plate here and switches on the way but I can’t find anything on how to remove that cubby hole plate. Any ideas/videos?

    Gotta pull out lower dash, 2 screws for below steering wheel, one plastic finger screw to the lower left where your foot rests. Guessing your talking about this one..?

    You don’t need to pull the dash.

    The trim is only held by clips...

    Using @JaCado link. You pry the trim out to look like this:

    Yes. The piece with the switches and cubby. If it pry’s out though, do you have to remove the lower dash? Looking at @ZekeR7’s picture it seems like it just pops out undependant of the lower piece.

    Yup, no problem. I’m actually waiting on my panel and switches too (probably will get here Friday or Saturday). Then off to my local off-road fab shop so they can do all my wirings and prepare my truck for the roof rack and lights on top which I should get in two months.

    Would do it myself, but moved to an apartment recently and got rid of most of my tools and don’t have garage to work in.

    I am currently garageless as well but I’m just doing bumper lights so I believe I can pull that off in the parking lot.

    Oh gotcha, I’m putting on ditch lights that mounts at the edge of the hood near the A pillars, then my roof rack comes in, I’m placing two flood light on top facing back, and two flood light (one facing left and the other facing right).

    Mainly using my truck for hunting and camping all year round so need the lights when it gets dark out and I haven’t set up camp =p

    Now here’s a new question. Is the light bar switch location in this picture a “narrow”switch or no?

    I’m pretty sure that is a ch4x4 switch

    Edit if it's from ch4x4 then it will fit perfectly.
