Thread: Mudstuff vs Raptor dash

I have the dash top Raptor pod on the defer. I got it at a good price but have to say I am impressed with it. Very solid, much more than the ABS mudstuff 1. I have had the kids use it as a hand grip to get into the middle seat! The mounting method I had to mod a bit as I could not stop it sliding on my rough roads.
30 mins? Took me a lot longer than that to fit up the dash top! Cheers Scott

To me, one looks like it came from the factory and the other looks like it was booty fabbed with a set of tinsnips and costs more.

Yes have to agree with the looks between the 2 But the raptor is fabbed not molded! And it does fit in a defender, not a rolls!

I have seen the Raptor fitted to a Defender. To me it looked like a very well made bit of gear. If it was me I would go the black model as I can imagine you would get glare from the silver finish.

I have the MUD one. I went for it purely because its more of a factory look/fit.

Raptor has screw on removable face plates which make it easy to get to the connections or even replace with a new plate and start again. The MUD is cut once plastic and then if you want to get to connections the entire plastic face has to come away from the mount. Also the plastic MUD can vibrate and squeak, I doubt the raptor has that issue.

I think the raptor is worth more than the MUD. If I had the choice again I'd probably go for an all black raptor.

Altho I dont own a Deefer yet,I'd go with the Rapture.
Looks 100% better than the plastic jobbie from Mud.

cheers

Ichose the mud one purely on looks.Havent fitted it yet but ill get there

I installed the raptor dash and the Mudpod. Prefer the raptor as its made of metal so should last another 60 years Has made an awesome difference.
