This is exactly why I wanted them away from the passenger. I rarely have one but when the female companion comes along she can't help but touch everything: radio, seat adjuster, window, cell phone and buttons. (Her ADHD is mind blowing) The last thing I wanted was to be going 55 and hear "Hey hun, what're these Red buttons?!"

Nicely done...
I have been debating on what to do here also..
I might build my own setup with a blue sea system... But I do like the SPOD setup alot.. and the mini switch panel keeps me thinking on which route to go,,, that and the price tag... but like they say you get what you pay for.
I am looking at using something like the Synergy Air Compressor bracket to mount what ever distribution system I go with.

Could you get the dimensions of the power distribution system for me?

I have other items installed in the area that most people place the SPOD at, so I am looking at other areas.

thanks

There is a pretty comprehensive thread that 14Sport had been shepherding that has the various options for different years and Jeep configurations well-covered. I don't remember the thread title, but PM him if he doesn't chime in here.

Edit: Doh, he chimed in. LOL.
