PARAGON has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Unfortunately, that harness connects on the right side of the front passenger wheel well. So I won't be sure if the harness it's easily accessible behind the center console until I open it all up. At the very least this will be the easiest place to relay one of the front outlets.

Alternatively, I might just try to switch the both front outlets and the rear with a relay right off of the 3040 wire right next to the I/P fuse box.

Now I just need to courage to start snipping.

You can always wire it back together

I would do that. Not too many things are needed to be powered while the truck is off.

I haven't looked, but what about the 2 at the back of the center console? Are they on a seperate circuit? If so, then you would have the cigar lighter and those two that would still be perm power and the rear and 2 fronts on the RAP circuit.

I may go ahead and do this when I take mine back apart in a couple of weeks.
