Construction & Design:
The BantamX is engineered with durability and reliability in mind. Its powder-coated steel base ensures robust mounting stability, while the aluminum lid provides corrosion resistance and a sleek finish. A silicone gasket seals the enclosure for weatherproofing, protecting internal electronics from moisture and dust. High-quality nylon braided battery cables use hi-strand crosslinked copper wire with a silicone jacket for superior heat resistance and abrasion protection. The switch panel’s laser-etched aluminum rockers and rugged Carling switches are designed to withstand the rigors of off-road use and harsh environments.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation is straightforward and requires no cutting or tapping into your Jeep Wrangler JK’s factory wiring. The BantamX system uses a single Ethernet cable to connect the control unit to the switch panel inside the cab, drastically reducing installation time and complexity. Vehicle-specific mounting hardware is included to ensure a secure fit. The system is compatible with all 2009–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models, including Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, Unlimited, and special editions, making it a versatile upgrade for any JK owner.
