![]() Basically the way my setup is Upfitter 1 -> LVJ Motorsports Relay 1 & 2 (each relay has 2x Baja Designs LP9 Pro on it) Upfitter 2 -> Baja Designs XL80 Upfitter 3 -> Baja Designs Squadron Pro Upfitter 4 -> Baja Designs Squadron Pro Upfitter 5 -> LVJ Motorsports Relay 5 (which has a pair of Baja Designs Squadron Pro on it) Upfitter 6 -> Dual S2 Sports in my GJ Motorsports 3rd Brake Light I also utilize the high-beam trigger on the LVJ which activates Relays 3 & 4 (which are connected to the Baja Designs LP9 Low mode, although right now only Relay 3 is activated which are my inner 2 LP9, which I found is good for "high beams" without blinding my neighbors due to the side lighting). I use that for my LP9s and a set of Squadron Pros (as I have 3 pairs in my fogs). ![]() If you need more amps you can use relay harnesses OR (what I did) the LVJ Motorsports relay panel. Otherwise if 6 switches does it for you, stick with the factory upfitters. Those are only needed IF you need more lighting circuits and/or want features like strobing. Well, do you need more then 6 switches? If not, you don't need to get a SwitchPro or Spod. ![]() But, I’ve just started researching this stuff since ordering all the needed material for installing my first light bar and fog lights. I’m debating upgrading the factory upfitters with the LVJ module so that the relays are easily accessible and can carry larger loads then add a smart module like the SwitchPro or SPod for the extra capacity. Any other alternative units that better these would be great to learn about as well. Anyone have opinions which is better than the other not including the touch screen vs buttons? I like the aftermarket install solutions for the SwitchPro more enough that the buttons would suffice over the touchscreen with all else being equal. I also like the waterproof housing for the SPod vs the engine mounting options I’ve seen so far for the SwitchPro. Anyone know the max current load for the SPod? My understanding is the SPod is a much easier wiring install compared to the SwitchPro (only one wire to the cab) but that the SwitchPro allows more additional features like triggers but that the SwitchPro is ignition wired instead of always hot. Total loads is something I haven’t been able to find on the SPod as of writing this but the SwitchPro is limited to 125amp for the 9100 and 150amp for the 12 circuit model. SPod says 8 30amp circuits per board with up to 32 total circuits which seems like a big plus in the SPod’s favor compared to the 8 or 12 circuit options for the SwitchPro. I like having clean installs on the interior so really like the SwarfWorks SwitchPro options for the sunglasses area but am not aware of any other similar style install units for either the SPod or SwitchPro. I’ve never had a vehicle with upfitter switches or have even thought about needing a control module type of system so all is new to me in general. PowerTrays makes very clean mounting options for both of these systems, but unfortunately not for the Power Wagon/2500, so I will have to figure out a solution should I go with the Switch Pro setup or find someone that offers a solution similar to the PowerTray options.Hi all. The sPOD unit comes already pre-wired and enclosed in a circuit break box, but at a much higher initial price of $750. I like the price of the Switch Pros unit ($495), but I will still have to add a BUS bar, circuit terminal box, and circuit fuse all of which will have to be wired and mounted somewhere/somehow under the hood which will likely bring the price within $100 of the sPOD. sPOD does make a HD 8-circuit version that is similar to the Switch Pros as well. I like the compact size of the Switch Pros 9100 unit and it'll allow me to stealthily hide it in a few areas whereas the sPod 8-circuit touch screen model will require a Ram mount or something similar in a more exposed mounted area. I am looking to add switches to my 2018 Power Wagon to run switched power sources for a ARB Twin Air Compressor, LED lights, Fridge/freezer, etc.
