Part #:
I needed some additional 12vdc outlets in the back of the Jeep to run things like DVD players, and other games for the kids. I even put a GPS back there so that the kids could see where we were and how far we had to go. They could now figure it out themselves. No it didn't cut down the "Are we there yet's" by much. I have the Tuffy box in the back so it makes a perfect platform to sit all sorts of things on, even the portable TV when you are out camping. I knew I needed to put 2 outlets back there, so I looked around at the auto stores for a good 12vdc outlet, but couldn't find anything that really provided what I wanted. I had already run into the problem of needing more than 1 outlet and I really didn't want to buy 2 assemblies and wire them in. Of course hindsite is 20/20. Now that I have this installed I realize that I probably should have ran an outlet to each side in the back. I was in the local marine store looking for some other items that I needed for a project at work, when I thought about this again and looked at the 12vdc outlets that they had. The did have a waterproof dual outlet part that looked pretty good and would be fairly easy to install in the back. So out the door it went. I have the Tuffy Security trunk in the rear of my JK, so mounting the outlets to the side plate on it was fairly easy. You may be able to install single outlets into the side of the center console in the rear, but I haven't researched if there is enough room with the Tuffy Insert installed.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
