I've called a few local shops for quotes to have this done for me with no luck. Pulling apart the dash is intimidating. Wish you had shown that part......as people like me are likely to screw something up. Thanks for the video!
I had hoped to get video of that but the guy filming me forget to press start. I have decided I am going to do a follow up video detailing the dismantling of the dash. It is intimidating, it scared the hell out of me lol. I will do that video in the next couple days so hang on and in the mean time if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. Dod you buy the parts yet and where are you located? Thanks for watching :-)
@@TheBHiveRV That would be awesome!!! Did you have to cut out that square from your bed liner? I'll have to. Did you use an exacto knife or similar????
Yes and that is exactly how I did it. Just scared the front then reached up from behind and pressed the tabs in on the plastic piece. Thanks for watching :-)
It does, the harness is right behind the panel, also im doing a video on the installation of the MB quart stage 6 speakers and that has all the instructions to remove the dash you can download the instructions here just follow along as if you were going to install speakers. mbquart.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/05/MBQuart-Jeep-VehKit-MBQJ-STG6A-1-MBQJ-STG6AH-1-Install-Rev01.pdf also there are a ton of really good videos on taking the dash apart. thank you for watching if you have any questions feel free to reach out ill help any way i can.
Awesome!! I know it’s a Gladiator but I wonder if I could do something similar in the JL by adding that side panel with the button and just purchasing a wire harness and cutting the panel in the back and adding the gladiator outlet.
Good question , My wife Bianca has a 2021 Wrangler and I would like to do that to hers BUT its easier and cheaper to just buy a jackery Thanks for watching :-)
If you have the plug in the back seat then yes the inverter is already in the truck. If you do not have the 110 outlet in the back seat console then it is not. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing
Good question so to get to all of the screws you need to remove to take out the old left side panel you need to remove the instrument bezel. To do that you have to remove the top dash trim piece and it just clips in except for 1 screw that happens to sit right behind the radio bezel. With that one screw out it pops right out. I will definitely follow up with a video showing all of this and o will try to do it soon. Thank you for watching:-)
Can you have it provide power to a fridge with the vehicle off? My gladiator stops providing power to the plug in the cab after about 5 min or something
I installed the oem switch, but the little orange indicator light stays dimly lit whenever a door is opened even with truck off or when truck is on. You have to look closely to see it. Button functions as normal otherwise, lights up bright when turned on. Anyone else see this? Wonder what is causing this. No other electrical mods
Thanks for watching, short answer is YES. The taser is needed to turn on the feature. But I think you could remove the taser after it's turned on... not sure though. Again thanks for watching :-)
Great question, so 1 i want to keep those available for other accessories in the future, 2 I am not sure how i would interface the switch with the inverter. The wiring is already ran at the factory to just install the switch and then it activates the truck bed output so why not use it. I guess it would save a couple bucks you would not have to buy the switch or the kick panel but i would imagine the easiest way to do that would be go right to the wiring harness that is already in place and see what wire goes to the inverter to activate it. Im sure the switch just completes a 12 volt circuit activating an output on the inverter. i could pull the switch and see what wire it is. Next time i have to pull it out ill do that. That would actually be a nice way to do it. Art least with the factory switch installed if i sell the truck it looks like it came from the factory that way and may increase the value a bit. Thank you for watching please consider subscribing.
Great question, the system is already prewired because we have the inverter for the back seat. The outlet itself is more than just an outlet with three connectors its smart. It comes on when you open the lid and has lighting to illuminate it as well. the up fitter switches are just 12 volt power and would not have worked the same way at all. All of the components cost just around $200 dollars and is a super clean factory looking install that adds value to the vehicle. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the questions. :-)
Thanks for watching, I bought that dc to dc charger that will also work with a solar panel and had installed it to use with a bluetooth 100 amp hour battery in a battery box with usb and 12 volt outlets but i have been rethinking that for a couple reasons. i wil be doing a video on it, I did install a garmin power switch in the bed that has been really helpful. ill talk bout that soon too. :-)
I really want to do this but I can’t stand pulling dash stuff apart. Seems like it never goes back the same. Great video, 200 bucks here but probably 1000 if the truck came with it.
I feel the same way, i put off doing the install for exactly that reason but now i'm glad i did it because i know now how to dismantle and reassemble the dash correctly. The dealer cost for the option is just over 900 so you were on the mark with that. Thanks for watching :-)

Great video. I purchased and installed everything as described but I was unable to find anything to connect onto the switch. I could not find any wires attached to the head light harness to make the connection. Can it be that my gladiator did not come with it?
It is possible, do you have a power outlet in the back seat ? If you do not then you don’t have the inverter required … I think you could still purchase that and the harness too
@@702Heli no power outlet in the back seat. That will also be another project I am considering of doing as well. As for the inverter, I was able to find that part and bracket but have not had any luck on finding the wiring harness for it.
@@Juangq Can you please provide the part numbers for the items listed above. My Rubicon Gladiator came from the factory with he inverted outlet delete unfortunately due to the chip shortage. Would love to know what the parts are so I can also order them do DIY it. Thank you it seems impossible for me to get info on if the jeep is already wired and what pars are needed to do this.
I appreciate the video, thanks for sharing. I am on fence of adding MOPAR harness as you have done or just running my own fused/switch/power direct to battery. (by pass the dash). For this install, did I miss understand that the Jeep has to be started/running to leverage this Option (power)? I saw you started yours..
I have had a lot of similar response and am currently looking for a high power (1000 Watt or more) inverter that could be installed in the engine compartment and still have a remote 120 plug. Until then my solution if i need more than the 400 watts is a seperate inverter I have hooked up to a 100 amp hour Lithium ion battery. I am going to do a video on my whole power install in the next few weeks. Yes you have to have the car running for the inverter to work. Thanks for watching :-)
@@TheBHiveRV thanks for quick response.. Look forward to your power additions.. I will check them out as was I'm also looking at other portable power and saw few other good options.. Too many choices
Great question so the wiring harness is already there its just stowed away tied to the harness for the lights. you just undo it and plug it in. Pretty easy to do, it is short so its a little tight but it is all there. I would have done more filming but its hard to film and actually get anything done. I may see if i have a friend who wants to do it to so we can go more in depth in the mean time if you have any questions let me know. thanks for watching :-)
Okay, I have to subscribe to a channel that has easy to understand and has the "For Christ's Sakes" in the opening segment! Good Video! What was / is the wire size that carries the 120 volt to the rear plug?
Not sure the exact size I’d say maybe 16-20 guage… it high voltage low amperage so no need for anything hefty. Thanks for the sun and thanks for watching 😀

Thanks for the feedback, I am always trying to balance making the video and actually getting the work done. sometimes it is a tradeoff. i would have liked to video more of the install of the switch but i had a friend filming while i was doing the work and he get very little useful footage.

@@TheBHiveRV your video is great... just some folks wanting to see the dash being dismantled.... hopefully I didn't offend, just trying to help.

You invoke the name of Christ to subscribe to your channel, and then don't show how it's done. Sorry.....hearing you go "poop, poop, poop" to explain ripping the dash apart doesn't warrant a subscribe. Even if it costs me nothing.
Sorry to hear you feel that way... it's not easy to install, film, and edit the video. after I was done I was disappointed that I had lost some footage.. did the best I could and I am thankful many people have found this helpful including a few who copied my install right after and did a better job of showing people the dash removal than i did but at least i came up with the idea first. I don't think Christ would have driven you to subscribe if I had shown the dash all torn apart anyway but at least he gave you a reason to comment. Thank you for watching... I hope you found it helpful in some way. :-)
Good people are typically raised to make better choices - i.e. when you have nothing good or constructive to say, choose to say nothing at all. Truly ironic how you bible-thumpers always seem to be missing that human quality, and instead seek every opportunity to pass judgement upon others. That would be the definition of a hypocrite BTW. In the future perhaps choose to do better and try to be a better person. This fellow's video was of no cost to anyone here, and quite informative for those of us who have ability to follow basic instructions and connect dots in-between.

Trying to figure out how to convert the harness to add in a Toyota. Might connect straight to the battery for simplicity
Are you using a different inverter ? It would be easy to plug the receptacle into one
I have the outlet in my 2020 launch edition but the damn thing is only on with it running. Scouring the web to see if there is a work around.
Need that amperage from the alternator or it will kill your battery quick thanks for watching :-)
I was thinking why a switch to turn on the power. If the inverter is hooked to a postive cable , couldn't the power be left on ?
I was wondering the same thing but i goes it adds a little bit of safety. Thanks for watching :-)
If the wiring harness for the inverter switch is behind the headlight switch, why do you have to remove the 8.4 display and dash? What am I missing?
