Reviews for Rugged Ridge 17235.58 A-Pillar Switch Pod for 11-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Best thing if your gonna add extra lights to ur JEEP. Bought the different colored switches.Out of the way but easy to get to. Cut switches into speaker cover on last JEEP,this makes more sense and looks alot cleaner.
switch pod comes blank so you have to cut out for the switches. fits really nice.
As several have mentioned, cutting out the blanks for the switches is tedious. I used a very small drill bit and drilled guide holes along the edge of each blank. The exacto knife cut well using the small holes. The panel fit well on the pillar and matches close enough to the original trim on 2017 JKU. Good product.
Im not gonna cry about it being slightly off color or texture not matching...its a Jeep for crying out loud,suppose to be rugged! My only complaint is the weak attachment point. The bottom one snapped clean off after a simple push into place but with some glue it's back functional again. Other then that I'm happy and it's good to go!
First off, not a knock on rugged ridge, more on Jeep. Prepare yourselves some hard work and prying trying to get the top plastic piece off to install this on your jeep, god bless your soul while trying. It took me easily 20 minutes and two people with four tools to get the thing off. After that though this slid into place fairly easily. I did have to jiggle it around a bit and it isnt an exact fit on my 2018 JK but its close enough to work
Texture is not an exact match but it is close enough that no one will notice including you after it's installed. Fit could be a tad better but not bad at all. Does what it's advertised to do.
Took a little fines to fit and look right against the windshield and I wish the cutouts for tube switches were a little thinner/easier to cut through. Otherwise it matches my interior perfectly and is easy to reach for me.
Looks like it came from the factory this way
Great product to house rocker switches for controlling aftermarket accessories. I wish the cut-out areas were removable inserts instead but not a problem so far (I currently only have one rocker switch installed in one cut-out). Center console rocker switch housing may not have worked with my manual transmission but A-pillar location is great! Definitely would recommend to anyone considering installing aftermarket lights.
Not a direct fit on a 2012 JK. Had to do some extra cutting to properly fit.
Switch cut outs are quite hard to remove. Ended up using a Dotco and rotary file bit to open holes. Almost impossible to cut with a utility knife.
