Anybody have one of these?

I saw this at the Off-Road Expo this last weekend, and thought it's a great solution for anybody who uses multiple accessories that require battery power and switches. I've currently got a CB and LED bar hooked up to the battery, and would like to have one centralized, secure unit to manage the electrical and relays since I know I will be getting some more lights and powered accessories down the line.



The owner of the company was very knowledgeable, and explained the installation and how it works in detail. I'd like to get one of his switch banks and install it into the overhead homelink space. They also offer banks with air gauges for anybody with OBA. It'd be nice to have that with the compressor switch right next to it.

Here is the link to the Tacoma model. It looks like it mounts just next to the fuse box under the hood and goes through the factory grommet.

It looks very slick, but at $350 I feel like I'd be able to find 5 switches and a fused relay board for a lot less...

 

Clean way to go about it.

I installed a blue seas fuse block, and hiding the relays under the dash is a pain, when u need ignition switched power.

 

blue sea fuse block works for me

Does the Blue Sea block have a place for relays, and does it utilize quick connectors, or do you have to do the wiring yourself? Not that it matters, I can do wiring...It's just easier with quick pin connectors.

Yeah not a bad way to start for the $$. But the sPOD comes with the wiring harness, switch banks, and relays. It makes it that much cleaner of a job and best of all, only 1 big guage wire through the firewall.

 

Yup, I could build all of that for under $100.

I see no reason for quick disconnect. That's a selling gimik to me.

Yes the idea is great, but $350 for what you are getting is a total rip off if you ask me.

Also, you COULD put the bluesea under your dash somewhere and run only 1 big wire into the cab

As for the relays, you make a relay box. How many relays do you think you'll really have in there?

If they dropped the price to $100 or around that range, it would be worth it.

 

The jeep and fj guys seem to really like the sPod stuff. It is a nice/clean wiring solution when you have multiple accessories.

I would definitely look into it if I some lights, cb, etc...
