Jeep Gladiator 12v Bed Power Setup
This setup will work well if:
You have a Jeep Gladiator JT and want a minimalist 12v power option for camping, overlanding, or just need easy access to 12v power from your truck bed. If you plan to run or charge accessories like USB devices, run LED lights, power a 12v fridge, or charge a portable power station, this is the solution for you.
Determine your needs and components:
12v outlets options:
Using 4 outlets will help maximize your options to run USB/USB-C devices, voltage monitors, switches, and 12v cigarette lighter outlets to charge and run a wide range of 12v accessories.
We used these 4 outlets and they worked great with our 3D-printed part - 4 sockets in 1 - USB Socket Charger, LED Voltmeter, 12v Power Outlet, and ON-Off Toggle Switch.
You may also want to purchase your 12v outlets individually. Below are some recommended options.
We also offer a Jeep gladiator bed outlet kit in our store
Socket Panel options:
Use this custom-created 4 port 12v socket panel for the Jeep Gladiator truck bed that requires no cutting or drilling (buy direct by using our store or 3D print your own). You’ll also need 3-inch bolts, washers, and lock nuts. This hardware can be cheaply purchased at your local hardware store.
You can also add a single 12v outlet to your truck bed (you will be limited to one outlet based on the space provided in the cutout of the truck bed) (buy direct by using our store, 3D print your own, or drill a hole in your existing cover plate)
You can use a “standard” sized 12v socket panel (this will require cutting into the truck bed and drilling holes)
Wiring:
You will also need to understand your power requirements and use an appropriate gauged wire (10 gauged will likely meet most needs), a fuse or two, 90-degree crimp connectors, and some essential wiring tools. See below for a full list of recommended items.
