    I just installed the Mud central console in Rustic
    The console do not fit properly with the factory AC in place. Some cutting is required on the bottom of the console to be able to fit it properly.
    I made holes for 2 volt meter gauges ( one for the main and the other for the aux battery) and one hole for the oil pressure gauge.
    The switches are one for the spot lights, one for the fog lights and one for the spot light on the rear.
    At the bottom I fitted the engine saver alarm.
    I am planning to fit a UHF radio and stereo with usb port in the future in the central panel.
    I relocated the GPS to made it legal in Qld. Was fitted on the windscreen with the suction cup provided.

    HERE is the Mud home page.

    You can call them by phone and ask questions and pay with your card. He is very good and postage is very quick

    Hi All,

    I purchased both the Mud Centre Console and the dash top Pod late last year. I was fortunate enough to be able to have a family member courier them back from the UK for me but they were still pretty expensive. I'm in NZ so the NZD (otherwise known as the "Pacific Ruble") makes everything out of the UK very expensive.

    Both items are well made, the instructions are great and I found the team at Mud great to deal with. The centre console in particular is quite a substantial peice of plastic molding and is very much up to the task.

    The centre console fitted really well although I haven't as yet fitted the dash top Pod. Once I offered it up on the dash, it looked like it would obstruct quite a bit of the drivers vision. To be honest, with a bit of thought on the layout of the centre console there's plenty of instrument real estate without the addition of the Pod as well so I'm not sure I'll end up using it.

    I also imported a number of the ARB style switches from Mud as well as the mounting plates and surrounds that go with them. They look great and make a very professional looking job.

    I've been very pleased with the Mud items and would recommend them even given the huge expense.

    Cheers, LandieMan

    I was fortunate enough to get Leeds to buy & deliver 3 Mud Consoles when he journeyed to the antipodes last year.

    Mine went in, the other two owners still have it on a to-do list.

    In retrospect, I wouldn't bother with one again. I didn't want to cut my dash, and so factoring in what could go where, and with how much clearance and then getting it all to fit was very time consuming. It also limits the drivers air vent considerably.

    Add the cost of the unit, the cost of all the switches you want, and the gauges you'll be tempted to fit, and the time to do all this, and I think that for the time & dollar value, you could put a lot more on your Defender.

    It's a nice item, and it works well, and if I'd wanted to cut into my dash, I suppose I could have had a more straighforward time with it. But I think that a lot of Mud Consoles will end up on a to-do list.
