If you dont have the factory option are the wires still there?

Almost finished it up! Got the panel installed and the wires ran to the front. Just need to figure out which aux switch I want to connect it to. Here’s a pic of it installed. Turned out nice.

Very nice. Did you run wires to engine bay or inside? Be interested in knowing the route you took.

I ran them to the engine bay. I ran them alongside another factory harness along the topside of the frame. Turned out really clean looking.

Looks awesome!! I will have to do that but also add in an aux switch housing..

I didn't opt for the power plug in the bed, but would like to eventually get a fridge for camping. I was looking on Amazon and found this and it started me thinking, wondering if this would work. 12V plug, as well as a couple of USB's to charge cell phones, etc. The size of it would fit perfectly in the place where the power outlet is at in the bed. What do you guys think? Would something like this work?

Did it work?! How does it wire up under the hood?

I haven't had a chance to hook it up under the hood yet. Hopefully this weekend tho. I work for an aerospace company so we don't get much free time lol

Did it come with anything to "waterproof" the back connections ?

I installed this setup on my boat a few years ago and haven't had any issues.

Install is complete and it works! 12V plug powers my air compressor and the USB's charge my phone.
I have the aux switches from the factory so I just wired it up to that. SO EASY! Thank you Jeep for offering the aux group!

Thanks for reporting on your success with the install. I’m going to attempt to do the same this weekend.

This worked perfectly!

Beautiful. Is there any sort of cover or housing on the back to protect the wires? Do you have any other pictures as you progressed through the installation?
