sPOD BantamX Kit | Blue LED Carling Panel | 8-Circuit | 2007-2008 Jeep Wrangler JK Early | SKU 870060

The sPOD BantamX Kit (SKU 870060) is the vehicle-specific 8-circuit solid-state power management system for the 2007–2008 Jeep Wrangler JK (early JK platform) with a Blue LED Carling Contura switch panel. Aluminum formed and welded panel housing with IP66/68-rated Carling Contura switches, dual-lit per switch, pilot push button, daisy-chainable. The BantamX module mounts in the engine bay. A single 10-foot CAT-6 cable connects to the cab. Vehicle-specific mounting hardware for the early JK. No wires cut, no factory circuits tapped. Expandable to 32 circuits. Operates on 12V or 24V DC. Blue LED — high-contrast in-cab visibility for daily drivers and mixed-use JK builds.

If your JK is 2009 or later, this kit does NOT fit. Confirm your model year via VIN: 10th character 7 = 2007, 8 = 2008.

Common Questions

How do I confirm my JK is 2007 or 2008 and not 2009+? Check the 10th character of your VIN: 7 = 2007, 8 = 2008, 9 = 2009. Confirm on your window sticker or door jamb. A harness mismatch from ordering the wrong year kit requires a return.

Blue vs. Amber for a JK trail build — which is right? Depends on primary use. Blue provides high-contrast switch-state visibility in typical cab lighting conditions — the right call for a daily driver or mixed-use JK that sees regular street use alongside occasional trail time. Amber preserves night vision significantly better — the right call for a dedicated trail rig running dark routes at night. For a JK that splits time evenly, Blue is the more practical daily-use choice; Amber is the better trail choice.

Can I run this panel alongside an HD panel or touchscreen? Yes. The BantamX LED panel can run in conjunction with an HD panel and touchscreen simultaneously on the same BantamX module via the RJ45 controller ports.

Can I expand beyond 8 circuits? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels via BantamX add-on modules.

The Obsidian Take

The BantamX Kit (870060) is for the 2007–2008 JK owner who wants 8 circuits of clean, fuse-free accessory power behind IP66/68-rated Blue LED Carling switches matched to the early JK interior — high-contrast visibility for a JK that sees regular street use alongside trail time, expandable to 32 channels.

VIN check before ordering. If the 10th character is 9 or later, order the late JK Blue BantamX instead. If it is 7 or 8 and Blue is the right LED for the build, this is your kit.
