    Cool. I'm looking for the analog version of their touch screen. I talked with them at the off-road expo and they said it was gonna be released soon. Thanks, man.

    Of course you WANT it, but you don't need it. I think you can set it up to do fancy stuff like strobe the lights and other functions? I'm no expert on it that's just what I hear

    I think the other (rocker) switches are a bit too large/goofy looking. And normal rocker switches too plain/small. I get a lot of compliments on my rocket pods.

    err... switches

    :rofl:

    I need to get a picture of my switches now that I have all three blanks being used. I have the big goofy rockers, but I like them! The bigger switches are easier to find without looking.

    yeah, I've seen yours and they do look pretty awesome, especially the location right there in the center console all lined up.

    It's a solid state electrical controller for accessories. Not really a necessity. I'm just trying to minimize the dash real estate required for my switch needs. I also like that the switches can be linked together and you have strobe function. It's a little fancy, but it will save me a few days of wiring

    Nice! They're available without the Bluetooth controls as well, yes? Also, do you custom fab bed racks? My guy (in the inland empire) is booked for a good couple of months and I may need a rack sooner than his time frame. I can make the trip to canyon country to see you if that's something youre willing to take on. I think youre in canyon country, right?

    @stvstoy ,
    To add to what the unit does, they're just a relay panel that comes with a switch setup that you run in the cab- otherwise, you're running a new wire into the cab & trying to find a new spot for it to mount each time. It also makes troubleshooting a breeze. And the Spod now incorprates diodes which I was thrilled to hear. I talked with the guys for a good hour at the expo and myself being in the power generation game I could tell they have the unit dialed in. They did all the work for me and worked out the bugs. My thoughts behind it is I'm just gonna buy it and be done with it. Its certainly not a need. I just feel more cozy going that route considering this is their sole bread and butter. Amercan made and backed. Its also a clean look if the rocker switches arent your style.

    All this wiring talk makes me wanna bring out my soapbox and preach about wire sizes and calculating loads so you don't end up melting your shit down
