Where Have You Added Power Ports? (1 Viewer)

[PabloCruise]

I want to run some dedicated power to the pass rear quarter of my '99 LX470 to power a fridge.

Using the Blue Sea calculator, and the fridge manufacturer, I find I need to run 10 gauge wire to the rear.

At first I got excited about placing one of these in the pass side rear quarter for my power needs: Blue Sea 4356 BelowDeck Panel | Powerwerx

But when I got home and looked at the actual interior panel, I am having second thoughts. There are not a lot of places where this will fit, and then I remembered there is AC equipment inside that pass rear panel - would I have interference issues trying to fit this?

So maybe I need to just wire a single outlet in the back.

Has anyone added power ports to that pass rear interior panel? Was it a tight fit getting around the rear AC unit?

On a broader scale, I would like to see some of the best places people have added power ports!

TIA,

I was debating on doing something like this but decided against it for the time being (I dont have to power a fridge, yet). I added a volt meter/aux usb charger to my over head switch panel, been more useful for me so far.

I was thinking about mounting one of these inside my drawer. I want to switch to all USB charged camp lanterns. Charging them inside a drawer helps ensure the USB charge cord isn't knocked off.

USB plug in rear driver side ash tray. A member on MUD made a 3D printed bezel that goes into the ash tray opening. I use this plug to power my fridge...

Hmm... I was thinking pass side to simplify the wires going all over, but that has appeal!
Who makes those?

Has anyone thought about adding spots in the rear flip down DVD player area? Mine is dangling and rattling terribly and would love to re purpose that area for something usable

Thank you, this may be the ticket. Wrong side from where I want to place fridge, but no cutting is nice!

Did you print this yourself?

Literally had the same idea and said I bet it’s on mud and sure enough! Great idea and yours is super clean. I’ll be installing the Anderson power poll bezel to power my fridge and other items.

I was just planning out doing this in my truck. My 105 did not come with a third row of seats, so the only ash trays are in the rear doors (too far forward anyway). But this 3D model may help someone else (not my work, but I'll likely post things to Thingiverse if I design anything useful).

12V Outlet Mount by mr_lent

This is a faceplate/mount for installing a BlueSea 12V outlet into a 2007 Toyota UZJ-100 Land Cruiser. This will fit the ash tray location in the rear driver's side cargo panel.

There's a whole pile of really great solutions in Ben's thread: Benjamin’s 3D Prints Build.

I've got the one for the back of the console (2x USB, 1 for an inverter), and the overhead console switch assembly is on the way.

Good stuff in that thread!!!

I used the 3rd row ashtray 3D print, and put a Blue Sea panel on the passenger side in the 3rd row:

We're in! '99 LX - new to us!

Changed out the plugs w/ some new Denso SK20R11. She seemed to appreciate the new plugs, ran a little smoother! One of the coil packs looked discolored: Does anyone know the p/n for the clamps that hold the wire harness above the coil packs on the driver side? Mine are toast! You might...

I put an ARB power port in place of the factory 12v outlet on the driver's side rear corner. I know, it's not very fancy...but it works and there was already a hole there. (I did have to enlarge it a bit) 10ga wire running to it now.

one of each side of the trunk area, one behind the center console plus a third one on the trunk for my fridge.

Got messed up a little but still ok!
