Review on πŸ”³ Rugged Ridge 17235.50 Switch Pod with AC Vent for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ - Black | Small Parcel Shipping by Mike Vargas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great idea, terrible design

The opening between the two air vents on the side is not wide enough. Rugged Ridge is a great idea, but your engineers need to learn how to use a tape measure. Judging by the photos of other reviewers, I'm not the only one with this problem. Although I may be the only one who allowed the deal to be broken. My switches rubbed against each other when thrown, not allowing for the positive, gentle clicks these switches typically produce. It's such a big oversight that it's so easy to fix that it's insane. I will probably never buy anything from these clowns again. My original solution was to sand down the side of the switch. It was absolutely stupid, but it was my decision to make it work. That didn't provide enough light either. Check out other reviewers' photos and you'll see I'm not the only one who made this change. I ended up throwing it away. The body of a standard 2 or 3 gang rocker switch fits perfectly in the vent hole and I screwed it to the front panel and the result was awesome. It doesn't look as clean as the Rugged Ridge solution, but at least my switches now work as they should. A few more millimeters of Rugged Ridge.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Communication with seller
