A or B pillar 12 V power block

[irrelevantgoals]

I'd like to add a power block to the A or B pillar (there is a molle panel between them) to run a few 12v accessories. E.g. radios, gps, dash cam, Disco ball, Fog machine, and maybe a blender. Looking for advice on the best/easiest wire route and trim removal.

Really… out of the entire forum nobody has any advice not even a bad joke.

Sorry OP but this thread is going down a path that is not going to be able to stop, thousands of posts and it will always end up being about Beer!…..Jack

I'll throw this out, I don't fully understand the molle panel mounted between the A pillar and the b pillar. They do make a switch that mounts in the grab handle of the driver's side A pillar, at least I assume that's the A pillar. Maybe a picture would clarify the location of what you want.

Was going to ask this. Where are you looking at? Maybe a pic of the molle panel would help. Between A and B pillar to me means the passenger window.

OP, any pics of what you mean by between the A and B pillar? Doesn’t make sense to me…

I I would like to add a 12v power block somewhere along the span between the B pillars, and route the power cable safely underneath the trim. hope this helps clarify.

Hahaha I see.. I would've worded it a lot differently, but technically I guess that still lies between the A and B pillars?
I'd just run power from the battery through the footwell and up the A pillar like people do for dash cams, then mount a distribution block or something. Kind of like what the badgeglow panel does for aux switches under the hood.

 

[Jefe1018]

Do you have the factory aux switches? If so you should be able to snake some cabling up along side the passenger side a-pillar and under the trim behind the windshield. I would then pass the cabling back to the molle panel right above the rear-view mirror. Should be a pretty clean install if you do it that way.

If you don't have the factory aux switches I'd go from whatever distribution box you have along the frame on the passenger side up a drain hole, under the carpet and follow the same cabling route as I outlined above.

Happy modding!

Now I see what you're talking about!
I went with the cb bar and ran the power to it from the battery up thru the cowl and then up the trim on the rollbar ( with the windshield folded down) and over to the center of the jeep. I have that ACC system so I've got this big box above the mirror and couldn't use the molle panel like you've got. Hope this helps!

Getting this thread back on track…

Why is camping so fun? Because it’s “in tents”.

Saw a nature movie about beavers last night. Best dam show I’ve ever seen.

I tried to find a carpentry pun that woodwork. I think I nailed it.
