Default 12v Power Outlet in the bed

Has anyone added a 12v outlet in their bed? I'd heard that the RAMbox guys have one back there and I'm interested in adding one to my normal box Crew Cab. An always-on outlet back there would be perfect for our plug in cooler. Since I have a Leer 700 on the bed, I'd be able to take trips with the cooler back there and not have to worry about the weather and I'd free up a lot more room in the cab.

just mount an inverter under the seat and run a line to a GFI plug in your box and then just get a switch mounted on your dash or something. its a project i keep meaning to do

I got the kit from mopar for my rambox. It was like 60 bucks. If you go to the Mopar website, there are instructions to install it, with pics for wiring.
