Okay I should have used search.....I know.

Just got a MUD Pod, Thanks to Luke ( n plus one ).

Intend on mounting compressor and locker witches in it.

But that means dismantling, at least the top of the dash above the clock.

Soooooo advice, experience and of course pictures very much appreciated.

A pretty easy process, there are two screws beside the air con dials. Once you have removed these gently pry the top of the vents towards you and the fascia will come off. From here I think your going to have to drill some holes in the dash to get into the pod.....

Not great photos but they give you an idea of what you find underneath

Hey Drover,

No advice or experience I am afraid, but don't for get to document and take photos when you do it :D it is on my list of things to do.

Like Chook said - two screws plus some leverage. I use butter knives (lol) but door trim removal levers (from SCA) would be ideal.

It'll be scary the first time (as in 'I'm sure this is going to break') and then a two second job every time after that.
