Adding 12V power to Tuffy underseat drawers
I'm looking to add a 12V flashlight charger and plug under my drivers seat and a 12V plug under my passenger seat in Tuffy drawers. Just curious of the best place to get power from? Should I wire it into my Spod or is there a good source under the seats already? I'd hate to run a bunch of wire if I don't need to. The flashlight is a Streamlight Strion, it appears that the charger only draws .6 amps.
Thanks!

Seems there is always one more 12V accessory to add. Many folks pick up a fused distribution box at the marine supply store and mount it behind the glove box. A nice big fused cable runs to the battery. Provides 6 fused branch circuits for your toys and doesn't require cutting into the stock wiring. I think this project has at least one write-up here on the forum.

I wouldn't want to feed the flash light charger with a source that's hot all the time.
You'd be better off finding a switched source. If you have a spod, there must be a switched source in it.

For a sliding drawer system in the rear cargo area of a 2016 JK Unlimited, you might find our solution interesting. We've designed a system that's tailored for this model.
If you're curious, I can share the specs and installation guide. Just let me know
