So I've been working on a vertical mounting solution for the Switch Pro 9100 and wanted to get some feedback, thoughts, concerns, comments and other input from the community.

This is one version of the Mount Tray by DC Distribution (there are a few versions in the design phase). It is installed on a 2014 Trail Edition (with KDSS, if that matters) See the photo. Note, of course, that the SP9100 is not fully installed as the wires are not there.

It has installed on it a Blue Sea BusBar and Blue Sea terminal block for connection leads to and from the SP9100 and mods that you are connecting to it. It is made from 5052 Aluminum and weighs, as you see it here, just over 2 lbs, with mounting hardware.

I'm already hoping for a version that can accommodate a fuse block and a circuit breaker, but I'm not sure yet. Some topics I'm needing input on are things like:
What else would you want to mount?
From a consumer standpoint, what option would you want available?
Would you want a full package kind of thing? Including the bus and terminal bars with mounting hardware (SP9100 excluded of course), or would you rather go find it yourself?
Would a blank mounting surface be something of interest so you can drill holes yourself ?

Let me know your thoughts.

The vertical mounting of the power module is a warranty requirement from Switch Pro which is why this came up.

Any comments are appreciated.

looks good. but is it possible to consolidate the plate even shorter(less gap between buss bars)? and is it mounted by drilling holes into the car? or is it using oem mounting holes?

Thank you. Yes, the tray is bolt-on using OEM mounting holes. No Drilling.

Right now there is a vertical support at the end of the tray, but there are possibilities for shortening it. Thank you for the suggestion.

The idea around the length, the spacing between the Bus/Terminal Bars and the slot is that when looking at other installs, in my opinion, the connections were almost too tight. They looked pinched up/down and difficult to make the almost 90 degree bend.

I can make any configuration I want, but I do have order minimums for any given set up (20 trays or more). I am happy to accommodate these requests, again if there is enough interest to support it.

Cool stuff! I love seeing owners of our rigs come up with solutions specific to our needs. I've got a 3rd gen and have been looking at getting a switch pro. You working on anything for the 96-02?

Thank you ! If there's enough interest for other Gens, I can see what possibilities there are !

Keep the suggestions coming!

I'm glad i came across this when i did. I was about to order the power tray setup but then found out about the vertical mounting and the warranty.

I'm in for one, you can count me as one of your twenty. I think a whole kit, bus bars, wires, breakers, etc... minus the switch pro would be a nice set to buy.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I actually received the shipment yesterday, much to my surprise as I had not been told that they shipped.

So the status with it is that I need to look at the power cables part of it put the order in for those, but I wanted to have the MountTray in hand so I can be very specific on the cable lengths. I should hopefully be able to dial that in this week along with pricing information.

I like this solution. Great idea. Let me know if this goes into production.

I have not forgotten about posting more pictures. I should have some this week.

Yeah, that takes up the majority of the room in there. Not sure what to say except that you can always move things around if you change your mind later. Is there an alternate mounting place for your ARM ?

Thank you. If everything pans out, I may have these in this week !

Got it installed today. Awesome product.

How does this compare to the Overland Equipped? That’s what I’m currently running with a blue seas fuse box. Ability to run different units?

I’m not to familiar with Overland Equipped. But looking at their product it’s not designed to mount a switch pro. Am I wrong?

This particular mount is designed to mount the switch pro as it was intended to be mounted, vertical.

I would love to run one of these but I already have my ARB Dual Compressor in that spot on the Slee mount. That spot seems to be the most popular place to mount anything under the hood.

The product looks great and I am sure it'll do well, just sad I can't utilize it.

The Fuse Block Mount Tray will be available within a month or so, but as tomb_rnr says, Their product is not for the Switch-Pros SP9100.

I believe you are correct. I looked at the product as well... unless I am missing something. Thanks for answering.
Your install looks like you did a great job ! Nice clean 2019... I like it !

Thanks for the feedback ! Yeah that ARB is a beast for sure. I do not think there's any additional room after that install.
