poking around under the truck i found this blind ending harness under the rear left undercarriage.

one photo is closeup. the other a little further back with the spare tire in view for reference.

can anyone tell me what it is?

that's where you plug in the power outlet for the bed. there's a thread somewhere around here

FYI I make a harness that uses that plug to add a 12V connection in the bed WITHOUT cutting/drilling into the bed. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/thre...wer-outlet-option-in-the-bed.2239/post-115775

I highly recommend it too, if you need some power in the bed while you're camping. it will also plug 1 of those holes you are worried about

if I had known about this back when I bought the truck, I probably would’ve done it. Unfortunately I had no idea..

Currently we have a heavy cable running through the undercarriage from the battery into two cigarette lighters in my bed

The advantage of my system is that it’s always on, and we do a lot of long-term camping. these will be used to top off the secondary battery if the solar panel isn’t doing it fast enough, or if we need a little extra.

The disadvantage is it was a huge pain in the butt! your product is nice.

Do you ship to Canada?

Yes, I've shipped a few that way. I wish it wasn't as $$ though to ship there. It's about $30 for shipping. I'd love to find a Canadian re-seller or something, lol
