How do you think about this design for New Defender L663 ?

What would the switches be used for?

Plumb is another one of the vendors that assumes we will spend $2500 for a switch bank because we're driving JLR vehicles.

This should sell for around $500 if that.

Love the design. I'll wait at that price. OEM wood trim is a third of that so add on the switch bank and it's just too rich for my blood. I'll wait for a different supply source. Don't get me wrong Plumb does awesome design and likely has limited production capacity, anyway - so it makes sense. I'll just wait or pass. My Trigger-4 controller requires no firewall openings and is more subtle. Not as crazy cool looking, but is a fraction of the cost. As I always say, everything's a compromise and it works for me.

If anyone has one of the Plumb controllers installed, I'd love to see the pics.

FWIW - My crazy investment will be a Long Ranger fuel tank. The shipping is as much as the Plumb controller! As soon as I can stomach the spend, I'd rather have the 2x fuel tank than a cool looking switch bank.

...and a trigger-4 switch only sets you back around $300-350 depending on source.

Love the design, very Ineos Granadier-ish! But can't spend that level of money, and please come up with a better name and logo than "Plumb" for your super cool products! Keep up the innovating and maybe prices will become more approachable.

It’s way, way too expensive for what it is. Like others have said, should be 500 at the very high end. I feel the same way about all of your (presumably) products.

Agreed, way way too expensive! Switches shouldn't cost more than the winch!

I think they're priced just right. Plenty of folks will buy them. How else you going to turn on your roof mounted pod-lights when your cruising about your adequately illuminated town with your carbon fiber hood, 22" rims, RAI, and body-kit?

The interwebs were filled with their rear storage hatches there for a while. A great addition for storing those two cumbersome Pringles cans that simply can't fit anywhere else.

If anything, they should charge more.
