Can't agree mroe about the sPOD. I did it all myself the first time around. And by the time I bought switches, wiring, a box, connectors, relays... I had spent at least 1/2 (if not 3/4) of what the sPOD cost... then spent several days doing all the wiring. When I got the new JK, I promptly ordered a sPOD. Love it!

Nice upgrade
You are missing the "Spy Mode" switch!
I thought that was mandatory for Wranglers with sPODs... :elkgrin:
So did you get just the rocker switch covers, or did you replace the whole switch?
BTW: Looks really nice. And no bright lights glowing in your face at night with these switches.

I got new switches as well, so they would light up the writing when I turn the lights on and the icon when I turn the switch on. Couldn't see the standard switches as night.

Once you start installing drawers and a fridge, this awesome space underneath the rear cargo floor is rendered essentially useless. It's begging for some kind of water storage. I bet you could get a few gallons in there easy.
This is also a good place for an onboard air system. Put the compressor in there, or a tank... Or, put the compressor in there and mount a tank under in the muffler's spot... And of course put a different muffler on farther up the pipe.

I was thinking the same thing. That's a nice big spot and OBA is a very handy thing to have.
A ducted 12V fan wired in to come on with the compressor would really help to keep things cool.

I just installed Rigid backup lights.
I'll check back to see what I think at night.
Fit and finish is great, and the wiring is pretty comprehensive. I ended up not using the factory switch, relay, and reverse tie-in, and ran it through my sPOD.

Definitely interested to see how you like them. I have a buddy that has the same lights. These will be getting put on my list.

I added a hood blackout today. Harder than it looks to do right.

I thought for sure you would have run a AEV Heat reduction hood with a Snorkel? I'll be getting that set-up myself...

rig keeps looking better. interested in hearing more about the Pronghorn bumper after some time in the field. :smiley_drive:
I'd never claim to know more about the JK than a Chrysler engineer - but that sounds like they're trying to sell their line! hehe
From my understanding the engine area is designed as a wet compartment.
I ran an AEV hood on my '08 JKUR for about 4 years in the Northeast with no issues whatsoever. The Jeep lived outside in the rain/snow/sleet/ice/etc. Perhaps something changed with new motor that would warrant their comment?
I haven't seen any posts or issues on the AEV forum. I'll have to look around the engine compartment of our '13 JKR to see any potential trouble spots. Just my experience.
