How to remove this dash panel

[LJDC]

Is there an easy way to remove this dash panel? I’d like to attach something the top of it, and I think it would be easier if I could remove it.

Alternatively I could remove the top part of the vent (the small part), but I’m also not sure how that comes off.

Negative, that is attached to the base of the dash. You could remove the gauge cluster and have access.

Not easily. You'd need to remove the dash from the Jeep, then seperate the plastic cover from the frame.

I seperated mine when doing my frame swap so I could paint the inner steel structure to keep it from rusting.

Thanks. I’ll check it the gauge cluster. At least I won’t spend a bunch of time on something that isn’t possible.

If this doesn’t hold, I’ll remove the cluster.

does that TPMS thing actually work? What else does it do, and does it do those things well?

The TPMS sensor does just that one thing. I ordered it a few weeks ago but didn’t get around to setting it up. Then one day I noticed that my rear tire was at 15 psi. Usually it’s 30. I don’t drive it every day, and it had been sitting for over a week (including while I was on vacation). The tire turned out to have a slow leak due to a small nail.

Anyway, had I set this thing up earlier, I would’ve noticed right away. Basically, you charge it up and install the sensors on all of the tires. Whatever pressure the tire is at becomes what it thinks it should be. If there’s a big change—I think 10% or so—it sounds an alarm, which you can silence. It maintains its charge using a solar panel. It also has a motion sensor, so the screen doesn’t stay lit up while you aren’t there.

I’d bet it’ll hold up there. Where did you get this from, btw?

Amazon. I’m a little worried that I’ll knock of a sensor offroad. We’ll see.
