sPOD BantamX HD 8-Circuit Control System

The BantamX will save hours of wiring and installation time! It is a small, 8-circuit (expandable) control system that provides a clean (one ethernet cable into the cab!) and safe way to power and control 12/24VDC accessories.

Due to the small footprint of the BantamX, the placement options are endless! No cutting, fishing wires into the cab, or tapping into the vehicle's electrical system. It's the perfect overall solution for all your aftermarket electrical accessories, with options unmatched by anyone.

Note: JT/JL with diesel engine and the Jeep Wrangler 4XE require a special bracket.

Note: This system will not fit the Jeep Wrangler 392 V8.
