Gringo Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Do any of you good folks know of a source for a locking centre console for a Defender 90? I would like to keep some basic stuff, including binoculars, camera, etc. in the vehicle from time to time, but its a soft top and there isnt a secure place in the entire vehicle.

Anglo-Frenchman Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yes, have a look at Mobile Storage Solutions. They do some nice looking centre boxes (see photo of mine) and although not very cheap are very solid and well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have one of these and it's jolly good Mo Edit. Can only link to the main page, see security cubby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troddenmasses Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Another vote here for the mobile storage solutions. I put a stereo in the front (has a flap which locks down to stop it getting nicked) and then attached a cb radio to the front. A very nice solution, if a little pricey. I went for their basic version, and added some of their own map pockets for a couple of quid each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHodgson Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I think the best ones are the radio and non radio one supplied by Foley Specialist Vehicles. Very nice and good quality. I have three!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I too have the Foley Radio Rhino cubby box. The MSS one is very good as well. Not much if anything to choose between them except personal choice. I think I'd go MSS if I had to change..... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeppimp Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 had the MSS cubby in my old 90, if i was in the market for one i'd have another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSG Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yup, Mobile Storage Systems gets my vote as well. I have one in ALF and could tempted with one for the 110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thank you all for the information, thats exactly what I had in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If it's easier/cheaper to bring things in from US and Canada, look at these people, Tuffy.. Security console Looks very similar to MSS and is cheaper in US. They do a fitting kit for the Defender 90 too. If you have US 4Wheeler or Petersens mags you sell suppliers in there. I have a MSS one and they are very good, but it doesn't make sense for you to pay UK prices and then shipping costs etc. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thank you Steve. I took a look at the Tuffy website, and notice they only list Defenders up to Model Year '95. Nothing after that. I am not sure why that is, except perhaps its because LR stopped exporting Defenders in around 97, I believe. That means there are no 2005 D90's in the States. At least, not enough of them to be a market for aftermarket products. I will contact them and see what they can do for an '05. It was nice to see that they make one for a Suzuki Samurai, as well.

SteveG Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yes their info is based on LR NA availability. You'll have no problem making it fit an 05 as it's the same. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Baldwin Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Early NAS Defenders had manual 'tranny', hence the reason Tuffy's list only goes up to '95. The later NAS with the Automatic g'box has a one piece centre console (incorporating a cubby box) and therefore isn't suitable for any aftermarket cubby box install. Tuffy will probably tell you that they don't know whether their Defender cubby will fit your 05 truck, but as Steve says, rest assured it will. MSS charges something like £20.00 to ship one of the their console to a UK address so heaven knows how much it'll be to the West Indies! The Tuffy box is probably the cheaper way to go and Tuffy quality is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyzeus Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Whilst we are on the subject i like the look of the MSS rear drawer setup, does anyone have them fitted in a 90 that they use competitively or on play days? Want to know what they are like if they get submerged in muddy/watery conditions regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I can recommend the Exmoor Trim Cubby Box. Cracking bit of kit! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
