Dashboard centre console

[Chucaro]

I considering purchasing a dashboard centre console and would like to know which is better built the Mud or the Irin Goat

The Mud is this one MUD Defender Console (http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/Dashconsole.html)

The Iron Goat is here Iron Goat Four Wheel Drive Products (http://www.ig4x4.com/cat1_1.htm)

I would appreciate your inputs
Cheers

I do like the Iron Groat item as it is pretty much ready to go but is about $317AUD plus freight, The Mud Console including 6 switches is about $182 AUD plus freight so there is a bit of difference just in cost. Freight may be the big decider.
Good luck.

The MUD looks the business. It’s all down to personal taste and what you require. You didn’t happen to see any ‘cross the windscreen’ type roof consoles while you were hunting around? I’d appreciate a point in the right direction.

That includes the switches and the support for the radio as well doesn't it. Where as the Mud Console doesn't?

I have MUD console, half way thru fitting at at the moment. I liked the fact that it's a blank slate and I can configure it however I like...

Chris I included the cost of including 6 switches with the mud console to make it equivalent to the Iron Groat.
GBP 58 AUD $120 Mud Pod GBP 6 AUD $12.50 for each switch approx

I like both, but the mud I like better as you can put things where you like.

Maybe we could get a group buy to bring costs down as Iam interested.....

There was an attempted group buy of Mud Pods/consoles on here some time ago. Can't find the thread at the moment, but I think in the end they said you would get the best price by ordering one individually and ask for the price that they did for the guys from AULRO.

VDO Australia can supply the Tachos. Find your state VDO distributor and contact them directly.

I ended up buying the MUD one. More flexible in what can be mounted in it I think.
