12 volt power outlets

How many 12 volt power outlets have you had to add to satisfy your needs. Two outlets these days of GPS, dash cams, phones, kids electronics, etc. just isn't enough.
I have added 3 12v outlets and two usb outlets up front and 1 12v in the rear. Wish there was at least one on the overhead console.
Also we have 110v A/C in the bed of our trucks but no 12v?

 

I have added a few.

 

I bought some Blue Sea 12v outlets and USB's over winter for the cab and bed... still not installed yet. Some day Ill get around to it.

 

That looks like a pretty good start to a power grid!

 

I am actually in the process of adding some lighted toggle switches to the center console for some of these.

 

Also - anyone got a good spot to tap for a non-switched 12v circuit. I hate the factory setups that don't allow charging when the keys are off. I can easily tie it to my radio's constant wire, but I was wondering if there's a dedicated plug/harness somewhere that already exists.

 

Sorry I cant help you but I would also be interested in knowing.

 

Easiest would be radio power, however, you will get dirty power and cause static on some stations. Pull a dedicated power and ground from battery and fuse it 20 amps within 6-10 inches of battery. Or you can do something like this

 

You know, I may be the only person on earth that doesn't always have something plugged into an outlet. In fact, I hardly ever use my outlets. I am the only person that uses my truck, though; my wife and stepkids are banned from it (because they are slovenly mother fuckers) . In her car, there are routinely like 3 things plugged in at any given time, most of which have the cords plugged in but the actual accessory not attached to the cord.

I don't really use my phone much, and typically get 2 days and 2 nights of use on a charge; I recharge it overnight on night 2 from AC power. I have a GPS but I haven't actually had it up on the windshield or plugged in for a year, I prefer to navigate by common sense, road signs, and maps. I don't own any other electronic gizmos that would require recharging in the truck.

Having said that, I did add a 12VDC outlet in my console so I can tuck my phone away on those rare instances when it is charging in the truck (like on a multi day trip); otherwise, I have literally used the OEM 12VDC outlets one time, to see if they were working when I bought the truck. I have never used the USB outlet. I also have an invertor installed under the passenger seat, but the last time I used that was a couple years ago (in a prior vehicle); but it's there if I need it.

 

13 cup holders and only two outlets. Ill be adding double usb outlet and one 12v to the inside of the center console. The bed will get a 2 12v outlets and a double usb outlet. We spend 8 or 9 nights at a time out in the deserts of utah and it seems everyone wants to charge or plug something in. I have done dual battery set ups in all of my previous rigs and the tacoma is getting the royal treatment.
