Roof Consoles - Options and experiences
What's the score with roof consoles then? Anyone fitted them?

now I dont have a roof consle but do like the look of the ARB one but am put off by the radio housing not being deep enough and you always see them with the radio/cb sticking out about an inch. Thumbs Up Russell

Whilst I have not used the ARB console, I am very impressed with the quality of their equipment. Outback roads in Australia are not exactly smooth, so I would imagine they are good on rough roads.

I wasn't sure about these initially. I wondered if they would make the cab feel a little claustrophobic. When I bought my 08 Utility, there was already an Outback one in there and I love it. It's something that I would buy again. If it helps, I will take a picture and post. The only drawback of this one is that you have to trim your sun visors.

I like the look of the Cor4 one too and may end up with one in the double cab.

regards

Tibetan or South American style IMO. Not fancy but simple.

I saw a Terrafirma one at the Indoor 4X4 show today and was disappointed, thought it looked cheep for £129 DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

Yes, if you look closely at the Terrafirma one, it looks cheap - Unfortunately. The ARB/Outback one is looking like the best option.

Ibexman, what are the defenderconsoles.com like? Have you see one in person?

Mudrut - Any UK dealers for the Cor4 unit - This looks ideal!! Cool

Cor4 is imported exclusively in the UK by LRS Offroad, or pm LRSOffroad on here.

Phil isn't it? I've had dealings with him. Interesting, I'd better email him. Thanks.

Better than that, If I remember correctly Ibexman actually makes the consoles Laughing

They look very good actually, I am thinking of fitting one myself.
