JK dashboard center part

[XXXpedition]

i'd like to remove the part where the switches are... next to the emergency flasher button where the rubicon has the locker switches...

anybody has removed that yet? can i just pull out this part or does the entire center have to come out?

thanks
sven

Hello Sven,
I am not sure if that section is connected but from the few pictures I dug up it looks like it might be seperate. Here is what I have for photographs. Let me know if you need a "how to" to get the dash apart.

go to the web site for Cool Tech LLC, and look at their products; each one has detailed instructions for how to remove various parts of the dash.

To remove the top portion, use a fiber trim removal tool or non marking screw driver and remove the top panel close to the window first. Then disconnect compass(or remove) and unhook panel in front.

I think what Sven is asking is the locker switch panel removable. Maybe he wants to put a CB in there. Not how to take apart the center console. Just a guess.

There is no room behind those switches for anything. Not even another switch in the empty space.

bummer, i wanted to through in a couple of toggle switches where the two 'blind' switches are (locker on the rubicon)
but i might go with a daystar switchpanel below...

You might want to check out www.4x4spod.com. I have been really happy with mine.

i really like that and it seems really thought out, but $435 is a bit tough...
i thought about adding an alum. angle (black) and put in switches there...
would be way cheaper too.
we'll see. sven

You might want to go to jk-forum.com, there are a number of people who have made modifications and maybe something there might please you.
