Godlykepower Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thinking of getting one of these Dash Pod units from Mud Stuff to mount switches & a couple of extra gauges. Anyone using these things? Whats the quality like, are they not too flimsy? Will there be gaps around the edges? Any advice or feedback please.

Its as good as, if not better than the orginal LR ones. The fit is very good and even with the weight of a CD player, switches and controls doesnt budge. Its stayed put when my dash fell off whislt driving thru Morrocco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101sean Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I've had a Mud dash fitted for nearly a year now and it's an excellent bit of kit. The plastic is very thick and the profile fits the dash very well. Minimal cutting to dash compared to the rival unit and it's very versatile with loads of room for switches gauges etc. Nice people to deal with as well.

sean f Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I would suport the other comments. I fitted mine about 6 months ago and it fits fine, good clear instructions which made life simple after I read them. The only problem I have had is it has made me realise how grotty the rest of my dash is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I've got the dash unit by Iron Goat. It's the 1 as sold by Scrapiron but I went to IG direct when I was in Canada lasy year and paid 1/2 price for it . But then I did drop off 6 months worth off LR comics to them. Very nice people and good to deal with. Fitted it and have no problems with it. As above you realise how tatty the rest of your dash is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltwt1981 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Mud is excellent, fits well and reasonable quality, gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 The MudStuff centre console also gets my vote, mines been in for 8 months or so now and has performed flawlessly and has been removed and refitted about a dozen times thanks to my dodgy electrics It also has steel back and side plates and these hold it very rigid Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landybear Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Have been thinking about purchasing one of these myself, but just wondering if you can fit a CB and CD player, one in the top and one in the very bottom with switches in between?? Would this be possible or will the CB or CD need mounting elsewhere?? Have heard good things about these consoles elsewhere, so its a xmas list job i think!!

western Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 IIRC with a CB at the very bottom & a CD/radio in the angled upper part their casings might touch when you try to fit the 2nd unit, you could 'double stack' them in the lower section & fit switchs/gauges in the angled section, lots of installed photo's on this page mudstuff console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwood Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Thats ok guys......talk amongst yourselves, dont worry about the actual subject matter here!! Cant go wrong with there consul .I had one in my 90, I fitted it out on the bench first then took it to the vehicle. Once fitted you cant leave it out or tranfer it as you need to chop out the lower dash centre section. I was going to make a loom and put male female plugs at the back to easly remove mine but never get there before the 90 was sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterR Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I managed to get CB and CD/radio in mine. Bit of a struggle to get a full size CB in, I used a Midland mount which allowed the CB to stand out from the pod a little. Allowed enough space for my Carling switches between them. Great bit of kit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defender Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Mud dash is excellent - I have 6 switches, Pioneer CD player & an MC8 CB in a mounting cage & it looks like it's supposed to be there all neat & tidy. It's that rigid I'm almost tempted to add some electric window switches to keep the whole dash tidy. I also agree that the guys at Mud are extremely helpful. One idea if you are selling the vehicle is to buy another mud dash for your new vehicle & put the new blank facia in the old vehicle for the new owner to customise, use it as a selling point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlykepower Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Cheers everyone....well, I have gone and bought one, and will crack on with the project in the new year...... Also, no-one exaggerated about the quality of service from MudStuff, did they now!!!! VERY helpful chaps I spoke to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
