Default Switch panel for 2012-2014

Hi Guys,

I pulled the plug on a 2012 Rubi which means some of my stuff no longer fits coming from an 08.

My A-Pillar switch pod is fine as I can just get an updated one. My problem is that I have 4 OTRATTW buttons on the bottom plate by the manual shifter. On the 2012 (still a manual) there doesn't seem to be as much room to stick your hand down and easily turn the switches on/off.

Probably a month or two ago I emailed the sPod folks to see if they would sell just the switch pod shell itself but after emailing with a lady, I never heard back so my guess is no as I am not going to keep following up just to give them money. Is there any other vendor that makes an overhead switch panel for the Carling Tech Contura style switches? Figure the next best spot is between the sunvisors.

Thanks!

Do this...Its tight and you will need 90* connectors, bit there is room. Mine were originally on the lower dash panel, but I didnt like the location and my a-pillar is full of my light switches.

That looks pretty good, you did a clean job on it as well. I am only going from memory as I am suppose to pick it up this weekend or next once, but I think they moved the swaybar/axle lock buttons and plate to that area so it wouldn't work there for me

Contact darkknight in here. He made his own version of he spod panel but it's molded into the top window trim. Looks really good and he might hook you up.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant you were NOT getting the rubicon.
