This is the one I used for just power/charging.

I put it in unfused, since the main circuit is fused at 20a. My wife almost never uses it though, but it's there if needed. It could also power a GoPro with continuous power too.

There are a bunch of options on Amazon though without a power button. Mine comes on every time I start the Jeep though. But if you didn't want one with a switch/button, you could just run a search for '12v usb outlet' and scroll for days!

Thank youVery much. I will probably just hide it behind the panel under the steering wheel and plug in the USB C from the magsafe. I thought about routing it up to the top tray but then I’ve still got cable to hide.

Done! Thanks @redbeard719

Same. For those of us that are less DIY-experienced, would either of you be able to provide a more detailed breakdown of how to do this mod?

Install :

I didn’t take pics but will try to explain best I can

67 designs and Tackform is simple. Cut the mat on top of the dash remove a screw stick the mount with included 3M tape reinstall screw then assemble the kit using the Tackform holder. The have good instructions

1. For the wiring I used a nylon trim tool to tuck the wire behind the rubber Uconnect screen surround.
2. Using the same trim tool remove (starting on passenger side) hvac controls panel. It just pops off.
3. Then you will see one phillips screw in the center of the window control panel. Remove it the pull on the panel and it will pop off.
4. Unplug the plug from the cigarette lighter and plug in the male plug from the adapter.
5. Plug the lighter male plug you removed into the female plug on the adapte.r this plug kit actually included some pretty good instructions.
6. I used the spade connector pigtails that came with the USB power outlet and butt splices to connect them to the power adapter.
7. Pull the panel under the steering wheel tuck in wiring and run the wiring from the mag safe and new power outlet over under the steering wheel and zip tie.

Hope that helps was actually pretty simple

Very much so, thank you!

Installed the Rugged Ridge locking hood latches today. Seem to be very good quality and install was simple. Reinstalled the Mobilistics relay a few days ago and it has worked without issue using my right hand instead of left. Maybe something was blocking the signal?

 

[@WhiteBronze392]

Switched from the AAL to Quake today. No more dash warning

Done! Thanks @redbeard719 View attachment 25287View attachment 25289

Funny I did something similar...I ran a black iPhone cable through the phone mount (still need to add a grommet) and out the base of the lower controls to a USB-C cig adapter. This way I can use 2x GPS. I run Waze for GPS/alerts and the OEM Nav because I like the layout and travel info.

Replaced the fender bolt on the Quakes with some Vector off-road UFO’s. Gives it a more finished look than just a bolt in the fender.

Finished wiring up the BD squadron pro a pillar and s2 reverse lights tonight. Tied the S2 to aux 4 as I decided I would rather be able to turn them on and off when I want instead of only with reverse.

Question, when you purchased the S2 kit, what wiring type did you choose? I'm planning to wire it to the Aux too, but not sure about the wiring type. Doesn't seem the Toggle is good because we have the Aux switches. I'm not sure what the Upfitter means.

If you are using the Aux circuits you dont need any more switches, relays or fuses. Just run the ground to ground or the negative post on the battery and connect the hot to the wire that goes with your desired switch. Upfitter is what Ford calls the same thing as our aux switches.

Thanks. So basically I can choose the Toggle wording type when purchase but won’t be using it. I was thinking about routing the wire from rear bumper into the frame rail then fish into the engine bay to Aux 4. Assuming the kit comes with long enough wire.

Thats what I did except I zip tied it outside the frame rail. Stay away from driveshafts and exhaust. I did have to add more length to the wire. Not sure which kit I got but it did come with relay and switch. Didn't use them. Aux 3 and 4 have a lower amperage rating so they are ideal for the low consumption of these lights, saving 1 and 2 for something that needs more power.

According to answer here: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...-with-their-harness.26015/page-7#post-1279504 It seems I should choose the Upfitter option, even thought the link is not the S2 kit.
