I voted in the affirmative even though I’m a Navigator owner. Simply because I’m hoping for some crossover opportunities for some of the parts. We tow our overland trailer with the Navigator and would consider building it out versus buying a New Bronco or Defender. Looks awesome!

Bumpers look like they will cover the sensors. Did you relocate them or did this one not have them?

Why do they always take a base model and stick all this money in mods into it? Why not start with a Platinum and then stick all that stuff on it? Crazy to stick all that into a base model with no creature comfort options......

Do you really want to "hear" 3.5 Liters of V6 noise? I can see a big V8, but these 6's sound like poop.

Don't forget the fender flares!

How do you like the Trigger system? I was looking at SwitchPro but couldn't believe the price for what it is. Do you sell the Trigger system? I want to support you guys as much as I can since you are one of the few shops making products for the platform.

The trigger system works great, we love it on our vehicles and they're pretty affordable. We do sell it however we're still in the process of updating the website.

That would make more sense to start with something with all the bells and whistles from the factory. But, when your trying to get the first vehicles to the market have to take what you can get.

So do I order over the phone or how can I get one from you? Where do you have them priced?

@Deadman
Most fully built new vehicles are lower end models models because they are business tools and bottom line matters. Not only that but you end up replacing just about everything anyway. They have a custom interior so that would be a waste... They wouldn't have been able to mount the ICON suspension because there is no way to defeat the CCD. Luxury has come to become complexity... Which is not what you want in a show vehicle.

Actually there's a way to bypass the CCD.... And which trigger were you interested in the 4 or the 6?

They are actually small wireless panels, plus there's a app to control it with your phone as well... the large part is what goes under the hood.

Here's the actually switch panel.

Where did you hide it in your Expy? I have seen tons of pictures of the one in this thread, but nothing of the inside but a SEMA shot through the window. This particular Expy is what pushed me over to the SUV to give it a try instead of another Raptor. I wish I had your roof rack and no moon roof.

Most likely inside the console where the CD slot is/was...

That would be ok if you don’t need quick access. Plus very stealth. I have a few buddy’s with them in their SxS’s. They haven’t had any problems. The wireless switch is the only thing I think it has going for it IMO.

And the price...
The SPro has two more buttons but is $200 more and requires specific wiring to the head instead of just power. The removable remote is a nice touch. Not really necessary for my application but cool party trick. The way I want to wire up the lights in the front is to have one button activate all front lighting with the brights and then separate button(s) for always on. Does the SPro allow for 24v or just 12v? I might end up adding a 24v feed at some point. If for some reason I set it up for filming some of our gear runs on 24v so it is nice to have the option.

The button layout definitely looks cleaner so if you are making it visible it is smaller and has a slightly better presentation... but the rockers are pretty cool too. My nephew will dig it.

For the extra $200 you get 2 more circuits that gives you 4-20 amp and 4-35 amp vs 2-30 amp, 2-10 amp and 2 5 amp. All circuits can be fused electronically through the app to their highest load rating or anywhere in between . No physical fuse except the one on the main power cable Plus you get two trigger wires. To make it easy for your high beam or reverse lights. You will need relays to do what you explained, SP can do it for you. You can program a switch to be a master switch “all on” to activate the other 7 or less switches. You can even do a single pole double throw or SP3P. So a lot more for the $200.00 Plus the cool looking backlit switch panel. To get the backlight on the other one you still have to run a power lead. Not sure what you mean about the extra wiring. The trigger has 8’ leads with ends in them. That will get you to the A-Pillar lights and maybe the bumper. You will have to splice into that anyway. That’s why my next one will be the S Pod Bantam with the touch screen. I like that you land all the wires at the box. I have not seen anything saying the SP can run 24V.
