Rugged Ridge 17235.55, 17235.73 Installation guide

  • I have reviewed the installation instructions for the Rugged Ridge JK Center Console Switch Pod. This document details the steps required to install the switch pod in 2007-2010 Jeep JK vehicles, including reusing factory clips and preparing for aftermarket switches. I'm ready to answer any questions you have regarding the installation process or its features.
  • Does the switch pod come with switches?
    Do I need to discard the metal clips from the factory trim?
    What if I have a 6-speed transmission?
