So i just got a valentine one. I want to hardwire it. It comes with the harness with the fuse and all, I just want to know what cable i should splice it to for power, it says I should do it to a cable that has power as soon as the car is turned on. any specific cable you guys could recomend as well as its location? preferably easy to get to.

The easiest way is to get your power from the main cabin fuse block (under the driver's side of the dash), using a tap-a-circuit or similar. This post shows you how/where: http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/163790-post80.html

If you're ever going to wire in more than one accessory, you might as well put in an auxiliary fuse block like a lot of us have done:
