Default How did you fill you SPOD!

Please share how you filled up your SPOD! 6 switches of fun.. I have my 50" on one and pillar lights on another.. I don't really do any serious off-roading so no need for air. Rock lights? How about FU lights?? Please share..

I am in the process of building a 8 switch panel that goes in the same spot as the spod. It will be
1 Led Pods
2 Back up lights
3 Rock lights (when I install them)
4 CB
5 Winch power
6 Winch in/out
7 USB ports
8 TBD

Not really necessary but I had room for 8 switches

1 = Hella's on brush guard.
2 = 40" Light bar above front window
3 = Small LED Winch lights
4 = not used yet (more likely KCs Hilites will be mounted on bumper)
5 = not used yet (more likely all around vehicle camping lights mounted on roof rack)
6 = not used yet (more likely rock/under vehicle lights)

I do off-road, and use all of the switch functions. The two roof light switches control the left and right bank of lights because the sPOD can't carry the capacity on just one circuit. I plan to modify that so all four are on one circuit, then wire up a rear area light. The switches and oil pressure gauge are wired into the dash variable lighting control. If I ever find an analog oil pressure/battery voltage gauge, I plan to replace the gauge (would like battery gauge for aux battery in dual-battery set-up). I've also rewired the sPOD so that the button on the left, which was originally for turning on the switch backlighting, is now an sPOD functions disable button. When depressed, all switch functions are disable/enabled. Prevents the ignorant passenger from causing damage as he reaches up while I'm tooling down the Interstate and asks, "What's a front locker?" as he pushes the front locker switch. The engine fan switch, BTW, does not turn the fan on and off. Rather it turns the fan off, or places the fan under control of the Jeep. Fine, but important, distinction.
