    It's run directly to the battery (12V).

    Been doing a little research, guess the USB plug changes 12v to 5v for USB devices?

    The screws actually make the flimsy plastic bow slightly. I wanted to get a metal plate, but HD was out of them. In the future I will replace with metal, or what I really want to find is some type of rubber gasket to go around the cut to give a finished look. But it does sit very flat. Positioning your cut properly will determine how flush it sits.

    I grabbed a bezel to determine mine, I can't get it in any position where It sits flat, which would drive me nuts! Which is why i sourced out the ford plug. Subaru sells a really nice one but for 120 bucks it isn't worth it. Anyone know of any toyota models which came with a ac outlet in the vehicle?

    Nice find.

    I think this is exactly what I'll be doing.

    Don't you hook up the Blue Sea usb directly to a 12 volt source though?

    I did this mod today using a coiled up cord under the passenger seat. Took about an hour but, has anyone else plugged in a receptacle tester into both their in-cab and bed 110v outlets? I get an open ground indicator but I've checked with a meter and I have grounded continuity.

    Let me know if yours shows the same or correct wiring.

    Thanks-

    Your tester maybe showing an open or hi resistance between the AC circuit's neutral and the truck chassis ground. A normal house circuit has a very low resistance, as the neutral is connected to ground in your home's AC panel.

    Wrecked!

    This is because of the inverter. Its not a true ac circuit. If you really want to no more google it . Im no teacher but i learned about it in class its a lot to explain if you don't no ac/ dc theory. As long as you dont have continuity between ground and your hot or between hot and neutral and you have 110 to 120 from hot to neut your fine.
