Jeep Wrangler Jk | JKU - DIY Auxiliary Power Source Mod Using Jeeps Factory Tow Package & New Light

I’m actually thinking of making a kit for WJs!

Good morning,
As always an exceptional useful video with thoughtful attention paid to tasks as well as complete parts list. Nothing is left to chance.
It boggles my mind there is no accessory outlet in the back of our Jeeps that are purpose built for situations where a localized outlet is a must have, lighting as well.
We have a 50 quart refrigerator located in the back and the closest accessory outlet is located in the center console of hubbies JK. This project is a must have and will be put on the list after the Pentestar rocker/ lifter rebuild.
As always thank you for taking the time, know it’s appreciated.

Is a factory trailer hitch required meaning the basic wiring is all that is needed?

You should get a ratcheting crimper like 17$ at harbor freight. I recently got one and crimping in tight spots is a lot easier and goes smoother. Love your videos not many people still just regular camp. Without the tv and string lights.

one can never have to many power options in your offroader nice use of oem power source,you might want to use some heatshrink on the connections under the vehicle to protect from corrosion.

Yes sir, very useful wire.🙂👍

😁😁😁

Hey Sir! This is Cherry from Coverado selling car accessories.
Your channel is so great! We are sincerely looking for a collaboration with you.
Do you have interest in trying our Wrangler seat covers?😊

So does the wiring harness still work for towing? I’m just confused because it appears you diverted the power.

I just came across your video, and had a couple of wonder points.1- When you tied into the 12 volt power of the trailer plug, you didn't reconnect the 12 volt wire to the plug side therefor eliminating your accessory power supply to the trailer plug, was there a reason for this? 2- What kind of inverter and size is it that you have that can operate off a 22 gauge wire, without melting the wire or popping the fuse I would like to know so I can look into purchasing one.

Good install.
Only thing I'd add is to use heat shrinks on connections.

What is the brand name of your wire stripper. Where can I buy one. I’m also interested in the shelf on the rear door. Great video.

Excellent instructional video. Subscribed.

Thankyou

Pro tip, 20 amps with 22ga?

Where did you get the flush mount at?

My 2014 Sahara has an outlet there from factory.

What kit ? Where did the kit come from? So you just cut up your trailer wiring? Doesn't that 12v power source in the harness need to be in the harness to power the trailer accessories?

Yea. I’m gonna do that.

To protect this circuit I use 7.5 amp fuse with the 14g wire circuit

Remember the longer the wire the less amps it will carry.

You will need to measure the length wire and fuse the circuit properly

Example:
If you extend the 14g wire to 15ft fuse for 7.5 amps maximum

16 guage wire at 15ft can carry 5 amp = fuse 5 amp
12 guage wire at 15ft can carry 10amp =fuse 10 amp
14 guage wire at 15ft can carry 7.5amos = fuse 7.5
10 guage wire at 15ft can carry 15amps = fuse 15 amp
