    Roof console to suit Defender 130 twin cab ?

    Having purchased a Defender 130 twin cab I am considering putting in a roof console primarily as a place to mount radio/s (UHF and space to eventually put in an HF unit) and also odds and ends storage.

    The manufacturers web sites I have found are:

    RoNo Consols Australia, 4x4, Truck, Custom Made Consoles & Door Pockets

    Department of the Interior Car Consoles & 4WD Storage Drawers overhead consoles roof consoles custom built consoles 4WD interiors dashboard restorations storage systems vehicle consoles radio console dashboard repairs dashboard pod four wheel drive

    OUTBACK 4WD INTERIOR ACCESORIES


    I'm more interested in the ones that run down the centre of the car rather than the across the front ones, as being a tall bloke I don't want to restrict any of the upper part of the windscreen which I look through !

    I'd be interested in anyones experiences good and bad regarding roof consoles of this sort, and naturally any tips are appreciated.

    Also if anyone happens to have one for sale, let me know !

    G'day Vlad

    Glad that you got the 130 is it a 300 or a TD5??

    There is a console that is advertised in the Dec 07 Landrover Enthusiast Mag. it shows a pic of a centre console that takes radios cb's side by side, and is recessed into the lining, it is by Equipe4x4 in Italy and available through LRSoffroad LRS Offroad The Home of EXTREME offroading not cheap but looks the goods picture on page 95 of December 07 LRE magazine

    cheers

    Thanks Defender 90.

    UncleHo - 300Tdi, and I am also considering the MUD consoles (I have posted in that thread too).

    Cheers

    Not sure of the brand, so it may be one you've mentioned, but we were looking at one in TJM which looked really good also. would be worth a look.

    Are you handy with a jigsaw Vlad? You could make one to fit your radios etc where you want them, rather than where others think they shoud be.

    A LOT cheaper too.

    Larry - how do you mount the radios and everything in it ? ie what lurks behind that (ply?) fascia ?

    I dont suppose you made templates, constrcution and fitting instructions while you were doing that one up ? (Well, gotta ask!)

    mine is the same as defender90 is





    good for the 130 as it gives you lights in the rear
    but you will have to cut your sun visors down
    you can just make it out in the pic
    130's rule
