Default Rugged TERYX4 Install Thread

We were lucky enough to get our hands on a TERYX 4 to design and manufacture an intercom and radio mount. We want to give a huge shout out to 66cummins (Kyle) for letting us use his TERYX for the install, without him this wouldn't be possible!

We took some time today trying to figure out the best place to mount the intercom and radio and we're struggling to come up with the best location. The way they have the dash shaped makes it really hard to flush mount the boxes.

It seems we're left with two options. We can either mount them right below the glove box on the passenger side of the UTV or fab up a box that fits right where the cup holders are. The only problem with making a box for that location is that it will eliminate the cup holders.

What do you guys think?

Can you make one that has cup holders on top the goes in the middle. Or and option with or without cup holders.

What about one that takes the place of the glovebox lid? Could always hit up a seat manufacturer to make a soft pouch that mounts under the rear seats to take the place of a glove box.

I have not had my center engine cover out for maintenance but a center radio might be in the way.

We discussed these for awhile today and I think the radios over on the passenger side would be a pain to deal with...Is that cupholder a seperate piece? I never really looked at that.

I agree with Mega. Do something where the cupholders are with some type of watertight cover so you can wash the rig without filling the radio up with water
And forsure relocate the cupholders, either incorperate them into the radio mount or it looks like the area between the shifter and the Oh shiznit bar would be a great place. Drill a couple 3" holes and drop the cupholder inserts in there

Drill holes there and you'll end up putting holes in the intake plenum. Look before you drill!
