How to disassemble the dash/center console

[x67934]

I owned a Xterra prior to purchasing my T4R, and before long I found that I could completely disassemble the dash and reinstall in less than an hour. I did this many times to install things like an accessory fuse panel, stereo, CB etc. However the dash on the T4R has be baffled.

I would like to remove the console surrounding the HVAC and stereo. I would also like to remove the trim below the steering wheel to locate the relay for the outlets in order to make it always on rather than ignition tied. I was able to get it almost all the way off but cannot get to the last screw behind the center console.

As far as I have been able to get is to remove the trim around the gear shifter and transfer case. All you do is unscrew the top of the transfer case lever and pull up on the cup holder.

If anyone has insight about the rest of the removal please post it here. I believe this could become a very helpful thread.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to PM Doodman, also, he has pix up in his build thread showing exactly what you're describing!

If you could post the PDF or send it to me it would be appreciated. Anyone have anything on the overhead console?

Can we just post the PDF here so each person that needs it does not have to ask for it in PM?

Would you happen to have disassembly instructions for the steering column (in order to replace the cruise control switch)? Thank you very much for any help!
