I installed the relay and breaker for the air compressor inside the battery box.

I made up some 4ga cables using welding cable to connect the components.

I also wrapped the cables in DEI heat sheath where they would pass close to the engine and exhaust.

I was not that impressed with the switches and switch housing that came with the Spod. Don't get me wrong the panel design is functional and works well I just wanted something that looked a little more factory. I went with the lower Dastar panel and some laser etched Contura V switches from OTRATTW. I love the switches! They look like they came with the jeep from the factory. The daystar panel... not so much. Poor fit and I don't like it when manufactures feel the need to place their large obnoxious log on their products. I say let the product speak for itself. If it's built well you won't need to advertise.

I wired the switches so that the lower LED (label) is illuminated when the dash lights are on...

and the upper LED (picture) is illuminated when the switch is turned on.
