Default Inside of an sPod

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to talk about sPods on this forum, but here's what the inside of one looks like. It is engineered extremely well. Probably one of the finest aftermarket pieces I've seen for a JK (if AEV did wiring, this is what it would look like!)

It's basically a hub for all your aftermarket lights & accessories. The Source box houses all the relays & fuses. 2 cables connect to the battery for power. A wire harness runs into the cab to a switch panel (or other company switches of your choice). It takes a lot of the guess work out of wiring up stuff like lights & it keeps things neat and tidy, instead of a cobweb of wires, relays, fuses congregated around your battery. Simply run the wires from your lights directly to the box, and the corresponding switch in the cab will turn em on/off. It's very simple, but not cheap either.

Perfect explanation big red. It's the cleanest way to wire your jeep. 6 circuits, all with fuses and relays. It's awesome, although every switch is live all of the time and there's no provision for three way switching. So it's a one trick pony, but it does that one trick better than anything else. But you've got to pay to play!

Wow! It's just what I've been looking for.

Google OTRATTW. Jim is a great vendor. The switches are top notch.
