Its not an outlet for power out. its a port plug for power in (notice its male) to power the charger. All i do is park it and plug it in done. no hood raising or juggling of charger and wires.

I thought of adding a second one for a block heater right after i finished installing it I was DAMN should have moved it over a few inches and left room for another port. The backside of that port is 16" to a regular plug end.(see pics above). so I can easily add another one in later.
Oooh, didn't notice that... makes a big difference.
Any reason you couldn't put a Y on the back of the plug into a heater and charger?
Then, in the summer, you could just leave the heater unplugged.
Seems like it would keep the fender cleaner....and keep you from having to use 2 cords to power both heater and charger.

I was thinking more along this line of these, i think its more industrial/cleaner, but yes, same idea.

Final addition for the swingouts on the rear bumper. Now its final surface prepping before sending off to powder coating. This one is not going to be cheap.

Looks good.
No little ramp for the latch so you don't have to manually engage it in the open position?

The pop in is actually a twist and lock open style. The catch hole was suppose to be flush during plan "A" when the main swing out arms were only 1.5" tubing. I then moved to 2" and it raised the whole design and I had lost the receipt to return these pop pins so i was stuck with them.

Front end comes out
Once again, cram the burb into the shop. Lift burb in shop. Can you guess how I resolved the issue of getting it out?

I see some nice short tires to roll it out with in this pic....................
Thats the theory. I got those off of Craigslist just as rollers for this task.
Are you using trailer spindles on the rear bumper swing outs? If so, what size/weight rating?
I had something similar on an early DIY4X rear bumper with 33's and after a few months the spindle snapped from vibration.

These are spindles made specifically for this purpose. They have a sleeve you fully weld into the bumper then slide the spindle in and only weld the bottom so you don't distemper the bearing areas. I have used these before and they work great.
