    Vehicle:
    07 DCLB 4.0 4x4 MT
    Dash:
    1. Driver foot well
      • Everything on whole dash is pretty much 10mm, there is a couple 12s and 1 and those live on the airbag mounts and the steering accordingly.
      • Onto actual drivers footwell. first is pop off black footrest.
      • then undo side trim piece
      • one bottom right and other 10 undeneith plastic clip piece you can pop with screwdriver or your nail.
    2. Center
      • Use plastic trim piece to pop the A/C controls
      • After that bolts and connections for head unit
      • center vent piece around head unit pops out
    3. Passenger lower
      • pull out glovebox
      • same side trim as driver footwell
      • 10s for the bottom should be obvious after those
    4. Top dash
      • this is where it gets a little more tricky, take your time here, it does take a little force to get the dash off when all bolts are but you should be able to move dash up and down on clips in back when all bolts are off. There are a some more kinda hidden ones more so than the other parts of the dash. So be more cautious with this part
      • Id start with the airbags (MAKE SURE BATTERY BEEN DISCONNECTED FOR A WHILE BEFORE YOU START UNCLIPPING SHIT) there are 2 12s holding to crash bar. this is part that got me for a little while when I was trying to work through
      • there is a peep hole on passenger side blocked by plastic tab, pop that, then 10 underneith
      • Believe there is some connections around steering wheel or I happened to do them at the same time when I took apart and put together. But check there too
      • You do have to yank the dash to pop out of sockets but you can go from one side and sorta go one by one
    Probably an over simplification of the dash removal but oh well. Its not terrible but not good, so time and labeling help.
