If a simple, pre-assembled jockey box isn’t good enough and you would like to impress your friends and relatives with a custom jockey box cooler you’ve built yourself, getting a DIY jockey box kit is the best option.

DIY jockey box is essentially a set of parts and elements allowing you to build your own homebrew jockey box with little to no experience. Unlike their pre-assembled counterparts, DIY jockey boxes let you select the components for your system and earn some bragging rights for assembling your own mobile beer dispensing unit along the way.
