    Well guys I got my bed cage in and I have to admit I think Tim has some great welds. Just got the cage and bumps for now, but plan to order my triples in a few weeks and then getting the dmz kit in November!

    I have been eying these as well. Looks very similar to both setups but not water proof. Same functionality though.

    Solid state, no relays that can stop working. Yes you can carry a spare relay, but I've never heard of a SPOD having issues.
    Compact design. Switch panel is around the size of a normal iphone and the power pack is the size of the plus models.
    Phone control. Download their app and you can control any of the switches off your phone.
    Customizable switches to be momentary or on/off, on/off w/ ignition, low voltage cut off, flash or strobe.

    The spod hd and se are solid state as well, no relays. They also have low battery, tempeture, momentary, strobe, and dimming functions as well as a few others thru use of the touch screen or phone app. Only ones with relays are the cheap 6 switch versions. Spod's are also made in Santa Clarita California. If anyone is interested in one I can hook you guys up

    Unless I missed it somewhere else, the universal HD spod is $250 more than a switch pro, plus a $135 blue tooth add on to be able to control it via your phone.

    The special edition w/ HD switch panel is $750. It says in one spot that bluetooth is an optional upgrade, but says later that bluetooth is included.

    The spod is a little more, but I don't think anyone is paying retail. I preferred the switch controller of the hd to the switch pros. It cost me about as much extra as a nice dinner for me and the ol' lady would cost so the extra cost was a no brained. But everyone's financial situation will dictate if that's reasonable or not.

    The HD comes ready for Bluetooth, as it's needed to make using the extra functions easier. The Touch screen requires an add on, but the app isn't really needed as everything is much easier to control thru the touch screen. In the next few months the touch screen kits will come from the factory ready to use Bluetooth as well.

    Your wife is lucky if you go out and spend $250 on dinner with her. To each their own I guess. I am happy with my Switch Pro but I'm just a guy who buys stuff and not someone who sells stuff.

    I was told that a long travel setup with secondary bypasses doesn’t require limit straps. My setup is Icons, but also wondering about king and fox. Is this true?

    I don’t have CVs. I heard they were replaced by secondary shocks. And I’ve looked at tons of setups and a lot of them don’t have them when they have secondary shocks. Seems asinine though

    Whoever told you that is probably on dezert rangers everyday giving people advice, cause he looks at dirt alliance pics on ig. Go kick him in the nuts, then when he's laying in the featal position, take your moms 12" black dildo and wack him upside the noggin a few times. Problem solved
