I just bought a new Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS unit and with the Sirius Satellite Radio I need more power jacks. I think I've seen these multi port units around. Does anyone know where I can get one? Do you hard wire these?
With the rock lights, fog lights and upcoming CB Radio I think I may as well get a high output alternator as well.

Consider getting an auxillary fuse block and hard wiring most of your accessories. It will lead to a lot less clutter inside and also give you independant circuit fuse protection.

I saw this article on a Toyota site.
QUESTION: Why use a circuit in the factory block that only works when the key is on? The new fuse block has 3 circuits that are constantly hot, wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

I hard wired mine. When I opened my glove box on my tj there was already extra circuit in there. There was one wire labeled battery, and one labeled switched power. I hooked mine to the batt power one.
