I wanted more outlets to charge phones, ipods, etc, etc. So I found this at wal mart and modified it to have constant power to the three outlets and switched power to the USB outlet.

It can help if the unibody is flexing, but other than that, no.

Basically it will help prevent the box from ripping off the frame.

I hope you fused those, or at least have a cover for the open holes.
I could see a quarter falling there and you'd have a BBQ'd XJ.

Yeah its fused(one fuse already taken care of by my 3yr old).
The plan is to get power outlet covers from the JY.

How did you wire those outlets? Straight to the battery, or ignition? Was it hard, because I am VERY interested in trying this, so long as it is ok with the original creator lol.

After purchasing this at Wal-Mart I opened it up and cut the power wire inside and soldered a new power wire. I ran the new power wire to my fuse block with constant power and the original power wire to a switched source which then turns on the LED and sends power to the USB outlet. And as far as copying the idea, no problem. You cant beat it for the price($10).
