Rugged Ridge A pillar switch pod
Anyone else have one installed? Installed mine yesterday and it looks ridiculous in my 2011. Not even remotely CLOSE to a factory fit. Anyone else?

Yep - I tried in my '12 and didn't like the fit. Seems they could have done a better job or at least not advertise it for the '11 and '12 like they are doing. Mine's sitting on my workbench.

I installed one in my new 2012 and didn't think that it was a great fit. I like the location but the fit and the sheen (color) was off. My buddy does high end audio installs and will probably get him to fiberglass it to fit closer to the 2012 dash.

I completely agree. I have a 2011 myself. I'm an idiot though, I installed the switches before test fitting so I can't even return the thing. I was so bummed when I went to install it and it had a horrible gap from the dash.

I called them a few weeks ago and it only fits the 7-10 they should have the 11-12 model out in a month or so.... You should be able to return it.. It is there fault for advertising the wrong year and they are pretty good people...
