Construction & Design:
The BantamX Switch Panel is engineered with durability and functionality in mind. Its powder-coated steel base provides a robust foundation resistant to corrosion and wear, while the aluminum lid offers lightweight protection with a sleek finish. A silicone gasket ensures the panel is weatherproof, safeguarding internal electronics from moisture and dust. All wiring is wrapped in high-temperature, abrasion-resistant nylon braided sleeving, enhancing longevity and resistance to harsh off-road conditions.
The switches themselves are Carling Technologies Contura models, known for their reliability and ruggedness, and feature custom laser-etched rockers for clear identification. The compact design allows for flexible mounting options without the need for cutting or modifying the vehicle’s factory wiring harness.

Installation of the SPOD BantamX Switch Panel is straightforward and designed to save you hours of wiring time. The system uses a single CAT-6 Ethernet cable (included, 10 feet long and extendable up to 25 feet) to connect the panel to the main controller, eliminating the need to fish wires through the cab or tap into the vehicle’s electrical system. Vehicle-specific mounting hardware and a robust insulated base ensure a secure fit in your 2007–2008 Jeep Wrangler JK models.
