Hey guys, so I'm thinking of pursuing adding a water pump in the rear cargo of my JKU. I would most likely tie this into the battery directly and have a switch in the rear so that I don't have to put the key in and get into the car to use the water from the bumper. This had me thinking though, I would need to run a cable directly to the battery and I would rather run a higher gauge wire one time than multiple wires, multiple times...
I didn't know if people have run a larger gauge wire to the rear to a fuse box, I just have no idea where I'd put it IMO (especially with a soft top). I'm also torn, because on the driver side I already ran a 10 gauge for my Dometic 35L fridge. I also was hoping to hook up my rear camera to ACC power rather than currently the reverse lights so I can access the camera whenever on the radio.
I just would rather do things right, for other unknowns, but would it be worth it to run such a large cable if I only ended up using it for the water pump alone? It would be nice to have more ACC powered options or BATT powered options like a USB plug for the rear but how often would I actually use it?
Sort of in a conundrum.
