Adding a second 12v usb outlet in cargo area.

[Waxings]

Does anyone know if there is room in the driver side trim panel, in the cargo area, for a second 12v outlet. Outlets are typically about 1-1/2 to 2” deep. I’m not sure it there is an area with that kind of clearance?

thanks

@dstevens did this

Installed an extra power outlet in the left rear. There is a factory power outlet on the left rear already, but it is unusable because the plug and wiring sticks straight out into the cargo area.

As a note it is non trivial to find a spot deep enough for a power outer. I spent about two hours looking and the best I could do with this spot, which was on a slight angle as the mouting point is not flat.

As a side note there is a large unused area on the left side just in front of the rear seat belt. It has a large white plastic spacer to make it the same height as the right side with subwoofer. Seems like Jeep could have easily made a nice little storage box there. I fell like stashing something in there just to use the space but removing the trim is a bit of a pain, and the clips will break eventually.
