Do you have a rough dimension for the engine compartment box? My JK is in Jacksonville, FL and I am in Okinawa, Japan for a couple ore months.
8"x9"-1.5"

I didn't. All the holes are on the bottom of the box and so anything that comes in should drain out. The lid overhangs all the sides to help keep stuff out. In the end this box it higher than my air intake. If it gets wet I have other issues.
If you're a deep water/mud guy you might need to add some provisions. I am not so it wasn't a concern.
To the best of my knowledge the sPOD isn't sealed either but I don't know for sure. I've never seen one in person.
J- thanks again for sending the diagrams over. It is really well done and easy to follow. One question I have though is where did you terminate TB1- 11 and 12 on the other end for the locker bypass, are you just paralleling the factory connection at the lockers? I think you mentioned above that your factory switch will stiil work. If so how did you physically tie this in?
Just got thru the link. Is pretty simple as you are just tieing in at the easily located relay and running a seperate ground path thru a switch.
How about for the guys swapping out there non locker axles to rubi e lockers? just add a couple of new relays and wire the same right? The main difference is the wiring of course will need to be routed down to the lockers.
What kind of connector hooks to the back or ur switches. Looks like it was made for it obviously? Have a link for that?

Finished mine a couple weeks ago but forgot to Aka was too lazy to post pics.
Nice job looks great. :thumbup: Did you use a devicenet cable?
No that is just a Turck multi conductor cable with an M12.
I work with Siemens automation and drive products to devicenet is one of the many tools of the devil
I spend more time working with Profibus or Profinet than anything, but Siemens did just make all their drives Ethernet IP compatible so I will be dealing with the AB guys more :crazyeyes:
Just came across your SwankPOD doing some research on the SPOD & Painless systems. Wow - that system is a work of art, man. I'm jealous and wish I had your electrical acumen & fabrication skills!
I was originally going to PM you saying this but then I thought I'd bump this up so others could enjoy seeing the system you fabbed up since this thread is a few years old! :2thumbsup:
Thank you for the complement. As you mentioned, this was done a few years ago and when SPOD was the only option. If I were diving into this now I would definitely go the route of making my own switch box but the power distribution would be Painless Wiring. The only reason I would make my own switch box is I have a manual transmission and I don'y like their switch location. (I also have a Rockhard cage so the a-pillar is out.)
