reb78 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hmmm a Defender armchair with off road abilitly, it'll never catch on There was that defender in LRO recently that had a ton of teak trim on the outside - Someone in the middle east had commisioned it i think. Perhaps that inspired this item you've found.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulublue Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I don't know Ralph, we drive motors that get blaimed for climate change, and now you want to add some rain forest to it you should be for thinking such things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 reb that teak trimmed vehicle made a change from boring chequer plate. Zulublue watch it sunshine, just thought it was a different slant on interior trim, got to be beter than dead cow covering the insides.

landmannnn Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 It looks awful. At £100 it is seriously overpriced, possibly because it is a huge chunk of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulublue Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 beter than dead cow covering the insides. I udderley agree Ralph, problem is it will aid floating when in deep fords, and your passengers fingernails will soon demolish that side of the dash. To be honest it is different, and the wood is good grade but not worth £100 IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 definitly agree with you there, wonder how many he's sold, the actual work put in to produce it has turned out a nice product though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirkthe1 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 its nice, just the fact that the black plastic around it is...black plastic. kind of makes it out of place. like caviar in llidls! or a nice sparkling shiraz in a working mens club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajh Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well, all things considered you could nail a dead rabbit to a Defender dash and it would be more attractive than before so I'm all for people trying out things... though wood, won't it rot with all the water dripping down onto it?

Andrew Chua Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 ha ha, i'd say it looks really nice. ok, i've a body coloured piece of sheet metal wrap around on my dashboard (aka crash pad). nicely polished too. i'll post a pic if i can shoot one tomorrow. No black dashboard for me. hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well with a black cat crossing the street,you have wood to touch But seriously, just imagine this being fashion and all wants to change to teak wood? Jumping catfish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty_wingnut Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It looks awful. At £100 it is seriously overpriced, possibly because it is a huge chunk of wood. Definetly not, there's a lot of machining there, and what with the way the materials have shot up I don't doubt that with a bit added on for profit it works out at £100....

Nope but one of you maybe to many things attached to my existing dashtop & I can't be bothered to take them off to replace it with anything else.

disco tony Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Think this is a different seller but this could be the new clock to go with it Ralph, and perhaps one of those woodburners under it!!! dash clock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
