Hey Mike,
I can't remember where I saw it but someone had exactly what you're looking
for. Actually, it was an accessory plug and a light combination that
installed on the inside of one of the walls (left side or right side) right
before the tailgate. I'll look around for it.

Subject: DML: Accessory power to tailgate.
After sitting on the beach with the windows open so we could hear radio.
And the cleaning that the inside of the truck needed after that, I got to
thinking....how hard would it be to run a power source to the tail gate?
Not hard at all, I think. Don't the new Jp's have a power outlet at the
back? So.....why not install one at the back of the bed? I'm thinking near
the tie downs, as high as possible. This way a portable radio could be
powered without $20 in batteries every couple weeks, and the interior of my
truck isn't covered in sea spray. I suppose it would have to be
weatherproofed better than the accessory power that is in the cab, but it
would work right? Anyway just looking for a mod that wouldn't have to cost
a couple Ben's.
