12v outlet in bed

[crowsnest]

Is there a simple way to add 12v utility socket to truck bed? Can I tap into the trailer harness power supply?

There's a couple thread on this below. One has an instal video that'll walk you through it.

There is a connector for this specific purpose behind the driver side bedwall…..and before I could get any further typing this, Dave came to the rescue.

been using it since day 2 of owning the truck and you can get any kit for your needs.

Does anyone know if this will work with a bed liner???

Spray or drop in?

I would think spray liners wouldn't be an issue, drop ins however probably will be. May have to get creative with a Dremel. I'm sure if you message Wolf haus they could clarify

I have a drop-in bed liner and they do not sit tight up against the bedside walls. I think the easiest way to get it to work is to use a hole saw to cut a large enough “porthole” in the liner where the plug is mounted to the bedside. Similar to the access portholes for the tie-downs.

There are structural grooves in the liner that are like to cause problems with fitment of the plug.

Thanks! My truck came with plastic bed liner that covers the mounting hole. Any idea about how far it is from tailgate?

It's right behind the rear wheel

You can mount it anywhere in the drop in liner and there's pigtails to make them longer. Here's a post from my second link with it mounted in the rear of a drop in liner. There's all different socket ends you can add on the Wolf Haus site too.

There are a number of entry points into the bed that can be used. This YT install video might help you see where they are.
