Hello all -
I bought the stuff to make 3 "DIY Spods", a la Pvanwheelden's write up here on the forum. I have a couple of friends and family members with Jeeps who I thought would want them as Christmas gifts, but after asking them none of them thought they would be using enough lights/accessories to make the install worth doing.
So I have just finished up the second (First is mine), and am about 90% of the way through the third, just the final plug for the switch lines to finish up, and I was going to post them in the classifieds.
This is not a business or side gig, I have no intentions of making any more or buying parts to make more - no spare parts laying around or anything.
This was designed with an A-Pillar switch panel in mind, but you can extend wires on the switch side easily to mount this wherever you wish.
This does not include instructions. This is color coded to be as easy as possible to install, but you need to be a bit careful to ensure it is set up how you want.
This was assembled with the correct wires for the use. All ends are crimped using the appropriate tool (not a hammer and screwdriver, or generic wire crimpers, but those designed for these connectors) There are plugs in the unused holes.
These are the Cooper-Bussman 10 circuit fuse/relay panels that feature 5 relays, 10 fuse slots. (cover not shown but included)
They are wired for fuse circuits 1-5 to go to the relays, 1-5.
There are ~3 ft of 14ga wire outputs for your accessories (5 wires)
There are ~5 ft of 16ga wire switch input wires (5 wires
There is 1 ~5ft wire (18ga) to run power to the switches. The wire is bundled with the switch wires, and designed to be used with the included plug. It includes the end for fuse slot 6 on the fuse box, or you can do a fuse-tap from a switched source to connect to this wire (cut off the plug) and your switches would only work when the key is on.
There is ~2 ft 16ga wire for the switch end. This will be wired to your switches (connects to the ~5ft harness plug) so you can easily disconnect a switch panel from the wires coming in through the firewall if needed.
Note that the ~2 ft harness has the plug installed, the 5ft harness includes the plug, the wires already have the end crimped on, all you need to do is run thrm through the firewall, and plug the wires into the harness. This is done this way to make routing the wires through the firewall easier (tape them up and tape them to a wire hanger or other tool).
This will include 5 relays, and an assortment of fuses. Probably 12 or so in various sizes, with 3 30 amp and 3 20 amp for bigger items.
6ft of 3/8 braided sleeve to keep things tidy.
5 additional 14ga wires to use with your fused ends, if you wish. These will be ~1ft in length, and all color will vary. They will have the correct waterproof plugs and ends crimped on as well. Will be loose in the box, not plugged into the fuse/relay box.
This does NOT include:
Switches
Switch panel
spade connectors for switches
instructions
**Power cable** most people use 8ga, and depending on your mounting location you may need to spend a few dollars at an audio shop, or buy a kit on amazon.
**Ground wire** Most use 16ga, and ground at a factory location. I will include 3ft or a 12 ga wire if requested (no terminal ends).
Fuse or circuit breaker for your power wire of choice. the panel handles 60 amps, so that would be perfect with an 8ga kit.
In short:
This will include all of the wiring needed to get this setup up and running, barring your main power/ground, and a handful of generic wire connectors for the switches.
You will need to buy an 8ga amp wiring kit (about 15 bucks on Amazon) or some 8ga wire and a circuit breaker for about $20), a switch panel of your choice, and a handful of wire connectors for wiring up the switches to finish up your install.
If you have any additional questions please let me know.
Price: $110 shipped to the CONUS. Paypal gift preferred.
Shipping: Probably USPS flat rate, but may go UPS. Will ship on Friday, 12/8 if purchased this week. It may be earlier, but that all depends on how life goes...
100% ebay rating over 10+ years, and forum itrader references available if needed (other forums).
