Bumper setup looks nice. I hope you can find him and set it straight!
I take it that's a marine shore power plug? Which brand did you go with?
Thanks. I hard mounted one of their trickle chargers in my engine bay. Seems to be decent quality stuff.
2 inch front receiver!

Looks like a homebrew version of the Slee Jack-off tool piece.

It makes pulling out our RV/trailer from its hole super easy. Launching my zodiac RIB is even easier since the launch area is super narrow! Its application is specific to my needs. Not for everyone! Also, I have got a bike carrier that goes in the front. Roger on the hi-lift attachment point.
We had a front receiver on our van growing up...made getting the camp trailer into a tight slot next to house easy. My parents used to get rather upset with each other during trailer backing before we had the front hitch capabilities.
I dig the power plug.

Exactly!

Figured I'd post the update from this morning...
I updated one of my mods from last year on my ARB front bumper. The OBA manifold I'm using is fine was the plain old aluminum plate was boring me to tears and the whole thing has caused me to explain myself on too many occasions now. So I made another plate, had it powder coated and then laser etched it with the vector file I made for it. If anyone has a DeWalt Job Site compressor than the style is very familiar to you.
What it looked like this morning:
What the new plate looks like after powder and laser:
What the air manifold looks like:
What the repainted matte black cut out holes in the ARB looks like:
And of course what the whole thing looks like now:
Here's hoping that people can read
No idea if I am going to actually kit this up as a product or not. I'm leaning no because of the amount of cutting needed in the bumper or wherever. But who knows.

I like it with the exception of the quick connects. Facing up like that I see them getting filled with all kinds of crap causing leaks when used or even them seizing up. At least in a place other than So Cal.
Agreed - can anyone make a salient argument as to why this is appropriate? I have always seen it as an unnecessary risk (theft, becoming a very fine missile in an accident, reducing visibility, etc).
I have mine mounted the same way, but it came with a rubber plug attached to a small chain. Never had an issue with it yet.
