Here's the right side:

Now we'll move to where the extension was and remove the bolts holding the dashboard in closest to the windshield. There are four silver bolts total.

From passenger to driver side:

Now to the windshield defrost outlet there are two screws which need to be removed:

At this point, the dashboard should be free and you are ready to remove it. Two people removal would be best, if I were to do it again I'd wrap my steering wheel with blue painters tape as I scuffed up the back a bit but no big deal.

It's now time to put the new dashboard in, it takes some finessing to get it in and two people should do it although possible with one. Please see the second YouTube at the start of this thread at 6:30 as I got mine in with the same positioning.

I put all of the screws back in based on how the new dash aligned to the plastic aligners. This is how I put things back together but you may find it easier to put all parts back together in a different way.

Time to put in the four silver bolts with the two screws by the defroster outlet.

Last silver bolt on the passenger side:

On the driver's side I put back the two screws below the 4x4 and light controls, single screw under the shifter and two screws which go behind the cluster.

Put the cluster back in, put all four screws back in and then press the black trim piece back in.

Put the half circle trim piece back in using the Torx #6 screws and normal two 7mm screws on the bottom left and right.

Connect the two harnesses and push in the Christmas tree plugs above the drivers side.

Head to the passengers side and connect the three harnesses in the extension area cavity.

Put in the two silver bolts which sit behind the airbag. Re-used picture from removed***

Right hand bolt.

Connect the airbag, drop the airbag into the hole and put in the four silver bolts.

Put in the two screws on the passenger side fuse panel.

 

[t_bergman]

Put in the three screws behind the thin trim piece above the glovebox. Then attach the thin trim piece.

Put in the passenger's side right air vent and place the single screw.

Place the two screws which sit behind the wood trim panel, the right screw is already in as above.

My pictures will be backwards on this step, but looking back I would put in the center vents, DIC (Don't forget the cable) as you can use your hand from below to position the vents.

Put the four screws in around the radio, and don't forget the screw which goes behind the radio stack.

Grab your radio, connect it, and put the top two screws in.

HVAC Controls and left/right screws.

 

[t_bergman]

Bottom controls and left/right screws.

Then the bottom two radio screws.

Moving over to the drivers side, two Philips head screws and the 10mm bolt. Don't forget to plug in the trailer brake controller.

Place in the driver's side vent, using the 4x4 hole to align into the vent tubing.

 

[t_bergman]

Connect the harnesses for the 4x4 and light controls, slide the panel into place.

Driver's side fuse screws (2).

Put the center trim piece in around the radio.

Slide in the day/night sensor and place in the dashboard extension.
