Here's the sPod panel:



...but it's not just a panel, it's also a power distribution system that has fuses and relays already in place:



to hook up accessories, you just run the positive and negative leads to "The Source" with is mounted in the engine bay. "The Source" prewired to the six switches in the cab, so no more back and forth with the wires and looking for a new place to drill for a relay.

x22 on the sPOd....It is super cool and makes adding things a breeze. I recently purchased some IR lights for hunting and they arrived the night before I was leaving for my hunting trip and I didn't have time to hook them up before I left. The next day at the ranch right before dark I pulled over and grabbed the IR lights and within minutes hooked them to the spod and was up and running in less than 5 minutes. It doesn't get any easier than that

SPOD for sure! Extremely high quality, and John's customer service can't be beat!

S-Pod all the way! wired up my cb in about 5 minutes including the install of the hardware. fish the wires through the firewall, hook it up to the pod and you are most of the way home!

I vote for the SPod as well. I've had for a year, but just got custom switches made for it and am in love again:

Depends on if you need the whole swith or just the actuator. Actuator are only $5 a pop.

yeah, all you need is the actuators if you already have the switch. So $5/actuator, or $30 total for my sPod. Pretty fair price for custom laser etching IMHO.

You can send him a drawing and he'll custom etch it. Some common ones already on his website. The Apocolypse and Zombie light ones are pretty cool.

No not yet, I’m still debating if I want to make my own system again plus I have another idea for the placement of the switches. I am so far back from where I thought I’d be by now but am slowly making progress. Those custom switches that have been posted sure are nice though.
