Review on Rugged Ridge 17235.54 Switch Pod Panel for Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU - Ultimate Console Upgrade! by Josh Graham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great price and relatively easy installation.

They fit my 18 year old JK perfectly. The color is more gray than black but looks nice. It holds the Rugged Ridge switches perfectly. The cutouts on the top are quite difficult to cut. I've had the best luck with a good sharp utility knife and just the tip to cut through. As you go deeper, the blade's kerf will bind, making it difficult to cut. Use gloves to avoid cutting yourself. ExtremeTerrain has a great installation video that shows you how to remove and install the standard panel. I chose not to use 3M tape on the top so it can be easily removed to change the switch setting. All the wiring involved is more complicated than installing this panel. It's good. I'm just starting my build so this will be used for the lightbar and USB charger for now. I preconnected the bundle through the firewall so future switches can easily connect.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • So far so good
