I'm removing the dash to install an FX4 dash in my XLT to connect to my flow through console... I have all the panels removed and it's down to the dash panel itself and the frame of the dash with all the ducts and wiring harnesses.

There is one bolt holding the dash frame to the truck on the front drivers side by the windshield that i removed. Two more below on drivers side behind the side panel on the dash. The two bolts on the passenger side have been removed also.. The whole dash is wobbly and almost out i just can't figure out where it is getting stuck at.. Any help??

Cluster is out, air bags are out, steering wheel is off, all the panels on the dash are removed

 

Alright I've got the whole dash panel almost separated from the dash frame.. There are two more 7mm bolts on the bottom corners of the dash that are attached to the dash frame and i can't get to them unless the whole dash as one piece is pulled away from the front of the truck..

So again I'm kinda stuck in the same spot.. How to get the dash as a whole off..

 

Where in San Diego do you live? I may be able to help.

 

North County... Vista/O-Side area

Anywhere nearby?

 

Alright guys woke up this morning and figured everything out.. Here are a few pics of the new FX4 Dash panel installed in my XLT with the flow through shifter console..

Still need a cigarette lighter panel for the radio bezel that has only the lighter and no other switches...

Let me know what you all think..

 

Excellent job! Now get you some leather seats and a lariat armrest!

 

HAHA yeah your reading my mind!!!

I'm gonna be looking for seats next and i've got my eyes on a console right now...

FX4&EXCURSION i referenced your photo gallery numerous times during the project, so thanks for all the pics and stuff!!

 

oh man not a problem, I'm glad they helped! I apologize though for some of the finished pics being a little dark. Again, fantastic job!

 

Anyone got ideas for some FX4 or Lariat Leather seats??

I have a supercab

 

Well, I purchased my OEM Lariat "Leather" seatcovers on Ebay from a Vendor call MPS or Mustang Parts Specialties. They are out of Georgia I believe. At any rate, I think I was one of the lucky ones because I purchased the whole set, front & rear, for 100 bucks shipped, and they were brand new takeoffs. This was about two and half years ago though. I've seen them now in the 3 to 4 hundred dollar range. Since my truck doesn't have the rear center armrest, I had to have an upolsterer modifiy the rear seat cover so it would be flush. Most of the covers online I've seen are for Supercrews so it may be a bit tough finding covers from a Lariat of FX4 Supercab. Another alternative would be places like Katzkin, who I hear have rear nice kits with better quality than OEM. Let us know what you end up doing!

 

It doesn't match, does it? Not my style.

 

Nice man you done good.

 

Thank you!

 

those two lower 7 mm bolts are a biotch to get to, but if you take them out the dash will come out!
