We had a little trouble getting the dash mounted like the rest of the conversions to all the 3rd gen matching holes. I think it was becuse the dash sagged in the middle. we will support it next try. Note the ENTIRE 4th gen harness ready for installation.

I installed the dash all by mysealf. I put the jacks on either side and worked my leg under the dash just enough to lift it uo like 2 inches to get the bolts in. It still needs side brackets and a bottom brace.

Another view of the dash so you can see it bolts to the old 3rd gen mounting points. (I managed to get 3 in and drilled a 4th hole) it seems solid.
