  • Available in three lengths (no.1 pod, no.2 pod and no.3 pod) and two heights (standard height and reduced height).
  • Some of the Landcruisers were fitted with a genuine pod which housed an auxiliary fuel tank gauge. As shown in photo D, the genuine pod can be discarded and provision made to mount this gauge in our custom built pod. Alternatively, photo C shows our custom pod next to the genuine pod.
  • Each pod has been designed to neatly follow the contours of the dashboard. When fitted they look like an original part of the vehicle.
  • Robust construction - suitably durable for "off-road" driving.
  • Available in a large range of colours. The most popular - chocolate brown, dark grey and tan.
  • A vacuum formed finish is also available for this dash pod. This is a foam backed, heat shrunk, one wrap (no seams) finish to match the dashboard. Click here for pricing.
  • The facia layout is optional. We can custom build the pod by cutting holes to suit specific radio(s), extension speakers, gauges, switches, GPS Navigation systems etc. Click here for hole cutting prices.
  • The pods do not interfere with the windscreen demister or the functions of the passenger's side quarter window.
  • Installation is quick and easy. Fitting instructions and a fitting kit are included. Two holes must be drilled into the steel part of the dash for the mounting screws. If the pod was removed these holes can be covered with the two screws and snap caps provided in the fitting kit.
  • We manufacture our consoles in weekly batches. If we receive an order by Monday 5:30pm Sydney time your console will be dispatched on the following Friday. The dispatch date can vary if there is a public holiday.
  • Professional fitting service available.

Fitting Instructions:

Step 1. Remove the console fitting kit from inside the console.
Step 2. Place the pod on the dashboard sitting as close to the instrument binnacle as the mounting bracket will allow. The mounting brackets should be sitting on the metal part of the dashboard in front of the crash pad. If positioned
correctly, the pod will follow the contours of the dashboard and will allow enough space for the passenger's quarter
window to demist and operate effectively.
Step 3. Using a marker pen or pencil, trace onto the dashboard the shape of the hole on the inside of the mounting bracket.
Step 4. Drill two 9/64" holes in the dashboard on the extreme
outside edge of the marks you have made on the dashboard.
- the holes should be positioned as close to the outside of the
mounting brackets as possible to allow enough space for the
screw head and snap caps. (If the pod is removed at a later date, the screws and snap caps provided in the "console fitting kit" can be used to cover these holes).
Step 5. Fit your radio(s) and accessories to the pod - see the "instructions on installing a radio into a console" and the "radio fitting kit" supplied with the console.
Step 6. How to run your wiring or antenna leads to the pod:

ALTERNATIVE A:

- for vehicles with a genuine pod fitted when the vehicle was manufactured.
All wiring can be run through the hole in the dash board for the genuine pod's wiring loom. The power and earth wires for the genuine pod can also be utilised for your radio(s) or accessories.

ALTERNATIVE B:

- for vehicles that did not have a genuine pod fitted when manufactured.
There is no need to drill a hole through the dashboard to run your wiring or antenna leads. Wiring can be fed through the gaps at either end of the dashboard. Or, for a neater appearance the wiring can be positioned between the plastic demister vent and the hole in the dashboard for the demister vent. You will need to cut a notch out of the front of the pod ( the windscreen side of the pod) for your wiring, to allow the pod to sit flush with the dashboard.

Step 7. Connect the wiring to your radio(s) and accessories. Coil up any excess wiring inside the pod. Place the pod onto the dashboard ensuring that the mounting brackets line up with the holes that you have drilled.
Step 8. Open the "console fitting kit". Place the snap cap washers under the heads of each self tapping screw.
Step 9. Screw both mounting brackets onto the dashboard. Press the snap caps onto the snap cap washers for a neat appearance.
