of interest:
- 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.
