Jeep Gladiator | Installing a USB Charger for the Backseat

[@cervus-venator]

Bronze Star Stealers fan Lee, thanks for your service! So I noticed the orientation of the dust cover on the USP slots was 90 degrees to the left with the tabs on the inside of the cover running vertical, but the slots are horizontal. I take it that the dust cover can be rotated after installation to match and fit the USB ports. Also, drilling/cutting holes in the rear vent cover plastic had me puckering, but then again it does that anytime I' have to alter something for fear of screwing up. I think you all did a great job and this should be a big help to those with this vehicle as a guide for when they want to make this change in their truck. Gary, thanks as always. JB.

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! Yeah we noticed that as well lol. I think Lee has already corrected it!

[@a.leerollins1456]

Yes, we noticed the cover was off and I went back in and turned it. Thank you for your support!!!!

Bro, just found your channel. My wife and I have Jeeps. She has a JL Rubicon 4XE and I have a JT Rubicon. I saw your FL camping vid, very nice! We're from FL, but live in Maine. Hopefully we'll be living back home soon (potential job transfer). I love your vids! Good work! Subscribed

[@DixieOverland]

That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! We are in Florida quite a bit and will be making some more videos on hidden gems and places to see!

@@DixieOverland we're renting a condo on Amelia island for two weeks in April. Can't wait to be back in the sun and feel the sand on my feet! When I retire I'm never wearing long pants ever again!

[@DixieOverland]

That sounds amazing and I'm with you all the way there!

[@ford4602]

Great video!! Awesome solution, my 4Runner came with rear USB power though lol

[@amberheywood2603]

Thanx for the video. Our JT has USBs and 110, but we are removing our 12v upfront for a trailer brake controller, and want to relocate the old 12v to the back so we have all 3 power options.

[@DixieOverland]

That's awesome! You're welcome! I haven't done this install on mine yet but it's on my short list! Thank you for watching!

[@Pinkjeepkiki]

Cool never thought about doing this!

[@DixieOverland]

It's a cool easy little project! Thanks for watching!

[@brackeng1294]

Do you think the window wires you tapped into would be able to handle the electrical draw of a fridge? I’d love to be able to power my fridge off that while driving. I run the fridge off a portable power station in camp.

[@DixieOverland]

@@brackeng1294 they can. I've used that socket to power my Dometic 75 with no issues.

[@victorn8148]

Could I potentially order two of the usb ones and use them both instead of the 12v?

[@DixieOverland]

I don't see why that wouldn't work.

[@jeffseaman9282]

do you know if there is a power source back there if you have manual windows?

[@DixieOverland]

I'm not sure. There might be if you have rear air because there is a temperature sensor back there that gets power.

[@chadspence6200]

@jessseaman9282 Did you find an answer to this, Jeff? Wondering the same thing before taking the chance of removing the cover.

[@jeffseaman9282]

@@chadspence6200 i had to wire it to one of the aux switches in the dash.

[@michaelreyes3759]

So the black wire goes with black and the red went with pink?

[@DixieOverland]

If that's what we showed in the video...it's been so long I can't remember but it still works lol.

[@michaelreyes3759]

@@DixieOverland yeah it just shows that you guys connected the ground (black) but doesn't show how you connected the red. Was just curious if that's how y'all hooked it up. Great video by the way, very informative and looking to install mine tomorrow 💯°|||||||°👍

[@DixieOverland]

@michaelreyes3759 I think we used a multimeter to figure out which one was hot at the time. I'm glad we helped you with this though!

[@Harps555]

What size are those quick splicers??

[@DixieOverland]

Honestly I'm not sure. They were available at Auto Zone on the smaller size I believe. Thanks for watching!

[@MrSeshy]

Video shows the Quick Splicer part number 85464.

[@muttlyATX]

My kids, thank you.

[@DixieOverland]

Hahaha happy to help!

[@nicholascroft520]

Why didn’t you just drill the holes and mount them through the panel 🤦🏻‍♂️. You don’t need the bracket. It’s only designed for use with boats and where there’s a void that needs covering.

[@DixieOverland]

@@nicholascroft520 yeah we could have done that as well.

[@stvargas69]

Quick splice?! Bye Felicia!
