Thoughts on Trail Rocker Accessor Control System?

jasonswenk · Feb 5, 2017

I am starting to add more and more lights to the JK but I wanted to know if anyone has used this and what is there thoughts. Is there something better. I already have the light switches mounted but want to keep the wires clean and easy to add too. Let me know and thanks.

TrailRockers are what I have waiting for me to install once the weather gets a bit warmer. The quality of the kit is superb and it comes with an incredibly detailed instruction manual.
I like that the power box sits near the battery and keeps the power feed wire short, and also looks real clean like that I feel.

Works awesome. Heavy duty 12 gauge wire in the bundle. Make sure you loctite the mounting screws on the circuit box. It comes with standard carling contura V switches, so you can swap them out for different color lighting, or just swap the switch covers for custom ones.

Looks awesome! Where did you get the stickers for the switches?

I've got the one that came without the switches, waiting for Painless to come out with the overhead switch panel.

The link in my post is the place that sells replacement switch covers. They have hundreds.

they have the overhead switch panel - I just got mine, mounts to the hoodman loop and it has the drop bracket to lower the rearview mirror:

I hate the Daystar panel that came with my Trail Rocker. I bought it soon after they came out, before the overhead panel was an option. Wonder how in depth it'd be to switch to the overhead.

you should give them a call, it may not be too difficult to swap over.

Is that attached to the Rock Hard cage or the windshield?

I run the SPOD, and love it.
It was super easy to install, then run lights and my ARB to
It attaches above your mirror and works with the Hard Rock sport cage, as well as the EVO sport cage

I am wanting a second control panel strictly for my lockers, and electric sway bar discontent in a different location now though.
If I didn't have a manual I think I'd go with that trail rocker one. Wish they had more mounting options.

it's not attached to the windshield. it has an indent where it will attach to the cage but I have it attached to the footman loop.

Thanks everyone. I found a solution on Facebook if you go to the search and type in water Proof fuse relay box. This guy makes them and charges $150. Looks pretty cool

Would be REAL nice if more of these companies (besides them who shall not be name) got away from the 50+ year old technology with dozens of wires/fuse/relays/etc and actually started using modern 21st century electronics similar to what our jeeps have with canbus circuits, mobile connectivity and the like.

Like that wouldn't get people to ask "WHAT COMPANY". Don't be a douche and just SPOD. :naw:

Clearly, things like honesty and integrity don't matter to some but they do still matter to me.

Like SwitchPro.... uses mosfet s, each switch can be programmed to be momentary on, on/off, and many other options and you can use your phone to connect to it through Bluetooth

Why over complicate something? The box on my Painless Performance Trail Rocker is barely bigger than the Spod box. It has a single harness running into the cabin to the switch panel. An electrical accessory can be powered by running a single wire to it from the pre-wired Trail Rocker control box under the hood. It's simple, easy, and affordable. I don't want to fumble with my phone on the trail to turn on my lockers just to be able to brag that I have wirelessly activated lockers and lights in my Jeep. Great for the meet & greet parking lots, but not much more. Doesn't get any easier than a simple rocker switch.

RedSheep · Feb 15, 2017

was just tongue in cheek, figured everyone already new of spods so wasn't trying to hide anything or be a "douche" but was under the impression they where to not be named/discussed/used ... all that aside, doesn't change the fact it would still be GREAT to see other companies like painless offing a comparable product from a technological point not just a simple functional one.

edit: and whilst writing there someone posted about swichpros of whom I hadn't yet heard of looked into so that's good to know.

Yup. They've been making this for years. I still run one of their original custom made systems in both my JK's.
