£2.50 really doesn't go a long way anymore. It'll buy you 5.55 Mars Bars (surely only enough for one sitting?) and not much else. What if we said you could purchase a seriously useful and quality part for your Land Rover for £2.50? Think we're mad? Meet the MUD Curry Hook.
The humble MUD Curry Hook
The MUD Curry Hook is very versatile, mounting to most surfaces with a solid backing, providing a secure fixing point from which to hang coats, bags and most importantly your Saturday night takeaway!
The hook blends perfectly with the standard finish of your Land Rover. It's very subtle - which is ideal. Land Rover and 'bling' is just plain wrong!
Fixing the hook in place is incredibly simple. Simply position the hook where you'd like it fixed, mark up the holes, drill them and then use 2 self-tapping screws. Once you've done that, snap the plastic cover over the screw cavity and you're left with a flush, clean finish. That's all there is to it! The best thing about the MUD Hook is that it looks very much like a standard Land Rover part, with a subtle mottling that suits most interiors. We're a big fan of standard looking accessories - otherwise your dashboard can start to look quite messy. Not that you can only fix the hook to your dash. It could screwed into any solid surface on your Landy to make a hanger for spare clothing, cargo-nets tow ropes, tool-bags, lashing, lamps - anything your imagine can think of!
Test
To give the MUD Hook a real test, there was only one thing for it! A run onto the local Chinese shop (we're dedicated to giving our readers the most complete, concise reviews possible). Order collected, we placed the rather heavy bag onto the hook and off you go. Land Rovers are not renowned for their smooth rides, but the Hook helps reduce the effect of bumps and jolts on your tea! This works great and also means your passenger no longer has a (hopefully) red-hot meal singeing their laps. It also stops curry sauce sloshing all over your foot-well. The Hook performed perfectly.
Conclusion
They say the simplest ideas are the best and the MUD Curry Hook is a perfect example of this. The design is rugged and strong, flexible in terms of it's potential uses and has been styled to resemble Land Rover's own factory finish.
For more information, or to place an order, visit MUD UK, manufacturers of this product and dozens more that look equally excellent!
MUD can be contacted directly by phone, Monday to Friday between the hours of 9am & 5pm (GMT) on +44 (0) 1422 881951, or by emailing them.
Factory-finish style mottling looks good.
The extension seen on the right actually folds over the two screw holes, to hide these away. It can be re-opened with care to remove the hook.
The design is simple and hard-wearing. Perfect for your typical Land Rover owner.
Also makes a good hook for air-fresheners.
We've mounted ours into the sub-frame of the lower Defender dash - this gives added strength when supporting weighty curry orders.
We've also taken care to place this out of the way of a passengers knee - which could get quite irritating if there was a bag hanging on there.
No, this is not filled with tasty curry unfortunately...

Tobias says: Stumbling on your site really made my day. You have no idea.
I’m getting one of these in the CSW. Have you checked out the MUD console? very late Td5 ish! Not a bad bling upgrade if you’ve got extra switches or guages. Have a look. K.

We’re hoping to do a review of the MUD console, after we’ve bought an iPad. Plan is to merge the two. We do have a MUD rear door trim panel to fit though and well be reviewing that soon. It looks great!
Billious says: Ive fitted a handful of these around my CSW, having once spit a bottle of milk (which will never e forgtten for the whole time you own that vechicle) I can say that one of these in the right place is invalubl. Highly recomended. (as are the Mud Rails)
