Looks great when installed with my toggle switches

Looks great when installed with my toggle switches. I only have two complaints. First, the switch slots were pretty damn hard to cut. And second, one of my switches is a single pole snap action switch and makes the bottom of the switch almost flush with the faceplate. Another thing I will say is that you need to be careful while installing it. Once you have everything hooked up, it's very tight.

Pros
  • Fits great for me
Cons
  • High price

Could have had more room

They could have designed them to have a little more room for the standard switches. Another 1/16" would have made the installation a lot easier. As it turned out, I was able to mount the switches, but they were very tight. The two switches actually rub against each other a bit, but still work fine. If you cut yours lines off, you'll need a bit more to put them in and I would suggest making a little more outside cuts to separate the switches a bit. This really makes for a comfortable place for…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Some complications

Simple and cheap switch box for Jeep TJ

A practical solution for installing toggle switches on Jeep TJ. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't realize that this only replaces one of the two center vents. So with 2 of them you can set 4 switches. I only needed two switches, so everything worked great. You have to cut them out. I used a utility knife and scored the existing rectangle on the back. After removing the rectangular section, I still had to shave a hole to fit my switches. Once inside, they never come out, with virtually no…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Useless functions

A good thing. in Lighting and Electrical

Love these, they match my 2000 TJ Sahara perfectly. I bought 2 of these and my largest. to install switches. Why didn't they cut holes for people to install switches? The slits have outlines, but you still have to cut through them somehow, and that can be dangerous. I had to use a very sharp but strong knife to do this. It was sketchy. In addition, they entered easily and quickly. They look clean, solid and professionally made. The old air vents just slide right in front of the console, you…

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Repair

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…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Communication with seller
