    Has anyone put a 12v outlet in the plastic wall behind the rear seats? I've run the wiring back there for an ARB Fridge while I wait for the Goose Gear seat delete. I'm planning to have the fridge run lengthwise from front to back, with the front towards the front of the truck, so the passenger can reach it.

    I'm open to other location suggestions. I considered the rear of the center console, but was hoping to have something further back to minimize wiring that could get caught on other gear.

    I did this for my set up... and I also did the rear of the center console. Both options work well for me. Just make sure if you do the rear center console that you install the plug high or low enough to clear your rear seat delete.

    Here is what I ended up doing, for anyone curious. I'm not sure whether or not I belt the tabs on the rear when reinstalling the plastic, but it is working.

    This is great and I’ve had the pieces for this additional 12v for awhile. Curious of the image with the fuses, is that under the hood or under the dash view?
    Also did you have to remove the center console all the way in order to wire or is it wired into another 12v circuit in the vehicle?
    Great to see another with the same idea on here who already jumped in.

    The fuse picture is the interior fuse panel under the dash. The rear outlet is piggybacked off of the existing accessory circuit. Keep in mind that if you wire it this way that the new outlet will be hot all the time. Toyota uses the negative as the switching source. Not an issue for me as the only time it's used is when someone is back there.

    No...I didn't need to remove the center console. Only the rear panel of the console. I was able to fish the positive wire from the fuse panel to the rear by tucking it in the bottom side of the console
