What's the score with roof consoles then? Anyone fitted them?

Can I add: Do they rattle a lot on bad roads?

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 Ian |

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!!  |

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

The consoles from LRS are made by Raptor the guy who does the dash console

"Ibexman, what are the defenderconsoles.com like? Have you see one in person?" Better than that, If I remember correctly Ibexman actually makes the consoles 
its his business
They look very good actually, I am thinking of fitting one myself. |
