Just got a new 11 Liberty 4x4 Sport, loving it. But after 2 weeks of stock, I'm getting that itch to do something.

What hidden features are there that mine might not have? hidden wires for maybe a rear cig 12v something in the rear? I've seen pics of the inverter ac plugs in the rear of the center console. Anything prewired I can get my hands on?

I've already changed the front (one and only on mine) 12v to always on by switching the fuse over, why not send it that way to begin with?

and I have an old 800 watt? whatever... radio shack inverter I would love to hard wire into the back someplace... had that apart a few nights ago, Any easy place to get 12v in the back? possibly even always on?

any suggestions would be great!!

You could just run a fused wire from the battery to the back and it would always be on. There is a nice little foam grommeted hole in the driver side firewall and tucking under trim is easy. Inside the jack compartment in the rear is a good grounding location too. I have two wires grounded there. :D

Where does the hole in the firewall end up? behind the dash somewhere? How can you get behind the dash?

Does the location of the fuse matter? ie: under the hood vs in the back. if there was to be a short or a problem, would it be safer near the battery? or does it matter?

That hole ends up in a very reachable location just above the brake peddle. And yes, close to the battery is recommended for the fuse.
