Very nice. It's certainly a much simpler wiring job than my setup.
I thought you went with the Auxbeam controller though? What happened that made you opt to use the SPOD?

Yeah, I have to sell that. Someone came here and mentioned the sPod to me while he was helping me w/ the bumper. I started researching it v. what I had. Even though it was 5x the cost it seemed worth it so I went for it.

How much would you want for it. Shoot me a pm, and maybe we can work something out.

Two questions.....
Where did you mount the mxt275? I mounted mine under the driver's seat, and ran an ethernet cable up to the center stack.
What's with the flatbed? You can post a Pic like that without some details....

MTX is mounted in the console behind the shifter. I drilled through the back of it to run the wires so you can't see them. Flatbed was stupid. I set the parking brake and couldn't release it. I dragged it into the garage and worked on it for hours but couldn't get the drum off so I gave up. It's all better now.

Thanks man, me too.
Also, just put a ladder on order. Waiting for a ton of parts as we speak.

Oh yeah? Like what? I still have a few parts I need to install on mine, including a lokka.
Explorer I
Shackles, front 5100's to replace the horrid nismo shocks, sliders which aren't due in until god knows when, rear ladder. Then on the ladder I'll mount my propane bottle and storage bag. Dometic fridge, zamp 100w solar panel and controller, new interstate AGM battery. I think that's it for now, but I'm probably forgetting something. Oh, yeah full set of skids I haven't put on yet because I need hardware.

Nice! I have zero idea what shocks I have, but they still work somewhat well. Shackles have been on for about two years now. I. Picked up my sliders from a guy who was building a new set on xterranation.
What size battery did you get? There's an interstate store just down the street from me, and I've been thinking about swapping to a dual purpose rv agm for a while.
I recently added a kickass products shower tent to my rack. Have used it yet, but when traveling with two ladies, they need somewhere to do their business.
Explorer I
I put the shower tent on last night actually. It's not done yet I got tired and it was a PITA to mount. I just got a stock group 34 battery. I'm a parts director where I work and I just signed with interstate so the battery is like $75 for me so I figured why not?

Dude, being parts director has to come in handy. I wish I had that kind of hookup.
I have mine on the passenger side, and my ARB 6.5' awning on the driver's side.
If you ever make it out west, stop by Idaho, and I'll show you some killer spots.
Explorer I
You never know. I've been planning Canada for years but now w/ restrictions and such those plans are on hold. I'm also working to sign on w/ Dometic. So that'll come in handy haha
