sPOD BantamX Touchscreen 870045 — 8-Circuit Expandable Under-Hood Power | In-Cabin Touchscreen via Single Ethernet Cable | 2021–2026 Jeep Wrangler 392 JL | 6.4L HEMI V8 Only | Made in USA

Same as the BantamX HD. One difference — a touchscreen instead of a standard interface.

The sPOD BantamX Touchscreen 870045 and BantamX HD 870030 are the same kit for the 2021–2026 Wrangler 392 V8 — same V8-specific billet aluminum under-hood bracket, same 8 expandable 30-amp circuits, same 5-year warranty, same price. The distinction is the control interface. The BantamX HD uses a standard control interface. The BantamX Touchscreen routes all circuit control from the under-hood module to the cabin through a single ethernet cable to a clean in-cabin touchscreen. One cable through the firewall instead of multiple switch wires. If the cleaner firewall routing and touchscreen interface matter to the build, this is the kit.

The sPOD BantamX Touchscreen 870045 is built for the 2021–2026 Wrangler 392 owner whose truck runs a real accessory load and whose build standard applies to the wiring as much as everything else. Standard JL — 2.0L, 3.6L, or 4xe — does not fit. JK does not fit.

BantamX Touchscreen vs BantamX HD — the only decision:

Same fitment. Same circuits. Same capacity. Same price. The choice is purely the control interface — and the firewall wiring architecture that comes with it.

Why single ethernet cable matters: A standard multi-switch installation runs individual wires for each circuit through the firewall into the cabin — multiple penetrations, multiple runs to manage and service. The BantamX Touchscreen consolidates all of that to a single ethernet cable from the under-hood module to the touchscreen. One firewall penetration. One cable to route and service. The installation is cleaner, the wiring is more organized, and future troubleshooting is significantly simpler.

Kit contents:

• sPOD BantamX Touchscreen power management module
• In-cabin touchscreen controller
• Single ethernet cable (under-hood to cabin)
• V8-specific under-hood mounting bracket (billet aluminum, powdercoat)
• All required installation hardware

✅ This kit fits — 2021–2026 Jeep Wrangler 392 JL with 6.4L HEMI V8

❌ This kit does NOT fit — read before ordering

Prefer a standard control interface over touchscreen: Order 870030 (BantamX HD) — same V8-specific bracket, same 8 expandable circuits, same platform fitment, same price. The only difference is the control interface.

392 V8 confirmation required: The V8-specific bracket only mounts correctly in the 6.4L HEMI engine bay. Confirm the 392 V8 on your window sticker or door jamb before ordering. Standard JL owners — the bracket does not fit the 2.0L, 3.6L, or 4xe engine bay layouts.

Before You Buy — Questions We Get Asked

Q: What's the real difference between 870045 and 870030?

One thing — the control interface and the firewall wiring architecture it creates. The 870030 BantamX HD uses a standard control interface requiring individual wires for each switched circuit to run from the under-hood module through the firewall. The 870045 BantamX Touchscreen routes all circuit control through a single ethernet cable from the under-hood module to the in-cabin touchscreen — one firewall penetration, one cable, cleaner installation. Same 8 expandable circuits, same 30-amp capacity per circuit, same V8 bracket, same price.

Q: Where does the touchscreen mount inside the cabin?

The touchscreen mounts in a location of your choice inside the cabin — typically the A-pillar, dash area, or center console depending on personal preference and build configuration. Plan the ethernet cable routing path from the under-hood module through the firewall to your preferred touchscreen location before installation. Text (469) 407-7538 if you want to discuss mounting options for the 392 interior.

Q: What accessories can I run on the 8 circuits?

Each circuit supports up to 30 amps independently — compatible with LED light bars, driving lights, rock lights, air compressors, heated gear, cameras, dash cams, CB radios, winches, recovery electronics, and most 12V accessories. Verify total amperage draw per circuit does not exceed 30 amps before installation.

Q: How does this ship?

At 5.0 lbs, this kit ships standard freight — free shipping to the Lower 48. No freight coordination required. Professional under-hood electrical installation and firewall routing are mandatory.

The Obsidian Take

The sPOD BantamX Touchscreen 870045 is for the Wrangler 392 owner who wants the same under-hood power management capability as the BantamX HD — with the wiring architecture and control interface that matches the standard the rest of the build is held to. A single ethernet cable from the under-hood module to the in-cabin touchscreen replaces the multiple switch wire runs through the firewall that a standard interface requires. The result is a cleaner install, a simpler service path, and a touchscreen that controls all 8 independently switched 30-amp circuits from inside the cabin without visual clutter. Same V8-specific billet aluminum bracket. Same expandable circuit architecture. Same 5-year warranty. Same price as the BantamX HD.

This kit is not for standard JL Wrangler owners — the V8 bracket does not fit the 2.0L, 3.6L, or 4xe engine bay layouts. It is not for 2018–2020 Wrangler JL owners. It is not for JK owners. If the standard control interface is preferred over touchscreen, order 870030 — the hardware is otherwise identical. Professional under-hood electrical installation and firewall cable routing are mandatory.

2021–2026 Jeep Wrangler 392 JL — 6.4L HEMI V8 only. Standard JL (2.0L/3.6L/4xe) does not fit. JK does not fit. Prefer standard interface — order 870030. Confirm 392 V8 before ordering.
