Anyone have any experience with these setups? I am thinking about getting one to wire my rail up. Seems like a good deal 159 for the rollbar mounted one and comes with all the wiring and relay setup etc. also waterproof and says ideal for open cockpit setups. thanks for the feedback guys.

that thing is cool, I like the ability to change the operation to momentary, use it for your starter....
by the time you get a box, switches, relays, etc. for a regular set-up........
the way I read it it's warrantied for life...looks like a good deal to me, go for it!

Willies new buggy has one in it, I saw it at D&k. Nice looking system, the switch box is detatchable so you can take it with you. I plan on putting one in the buggy I am building

I like the fact that it eliminates having a switch box or panel. One less thing to peel your onion in a crash!

If yours and WIllies still work this time next year, I might have to splurge on one! :lol: :wink:

Hey Larry it is also a lifetime warranty.

The only thing I did was wrap the thin cable in black electrical tape just to sturdy it up a bit.

The system looked well built and pretty simple to hook up. Just heed a water tight area for that relay panel.

not perfect water tight but on the trail it never gets wet. when i power wash i get a little moisture in the bottom of the box but i just leave the lid open during the week. the panel sits up off the bottom also about 2 inches same as msd. no problems yet 100% perfect.

i did the same thing with my regulator, solenoid, and batt. cut-off. any marine box (flare type), waterfowl ammo box, or watertight tackle box will work (gander mountain has all 3). the i used waterproof conduit fittings to run the wires through the side of the box without nicking the insulation, tape the outside up and no leaks.

I like the set up, it has a relay board that will run anything that can be run from relays. And yes it will start it too.
