We fitted one of these to our 2010 BT, installed the UHF, lights are LED so very good.

Do yourself a favour, forget the Outback one and talk to these guys

Custom made to fit what you want to fit, will install the stuff you want in it, optional vacuum formed one (which I have in my Hilux)

Note the UHF extension speaker they fitted. They also fitted the head unit after I sent it to them.

In hindsight, I don't think it is necessary to go to the expense of the vacuum formed factory finish look so you may be surprised about the costs. The vinyl covered ones look just as nice.

I have the 4wd interiors one. Nice neat unit and great LED lights.
In reality I don't use the storage space much, it was more for a spot to put the radio.
Expensive for what they are though. Not sure if I will put one in my next truck.
