'but apart from getting a new cd player (cos its a dbl din) where on earth do you put it.....might be a dash job....?????'
Depends on your UHF
alot of Patrol owners get a single din CD player and do it that way
Some mount on the side of the transmission tunnel on passengers side
I have the small Uniden one so before I went the single DIN I had it mounted near the ciggie lighter

we thought of on the side too....have had it there before on one of the many 4b's we've owned. the uhf is pretty slim line and would fit near the ciggy lighter - in front of gear stick....
just realised today that my knee fights witht he electric brake control.....got a rub patch from just a hlaf hour drive!

From memory the fuse for the
hazard lights is different to the indicators and is located under the bonnet.
Mine did the same thing.

Nice Patrol,
Fairly popular colour , LOL
I have the remote head unit Uniden and fits in front of the gear sticks with the body under the drivers
seat, only problem is it can be a little quiet.
I have also fitted the brake controller recently and ended up screwing it to the far r/h side of the dash cause I was a little suss about fitting it in line with my knees.
Glenn.

I put my UHF on the back of the centre console, firstly because it's a big unit and I couldn't think of anything else. We rarely have passengers and even if we do, it's not my problem if they have to look at it, plus it cannot be seen from outside the vehicle so a bit of a security bonus as
well.
I took out the ashtray and plumbed the wiring down the middle of the car and out underneath the back of the console. The mic comes up through the hand brake part of the console and the ext speaker sits nicely in front of the gear leaver next to the cig lighter.

If you get a remote head UHF, you can mount the main bit up above the centre console and then mount the remote head near the glasses holder, that is if it is a ST.
