So I copied (with a few changes) this install of a NOCO Genius battery tender/maintainer that @BrntWS6 did back in 2020…
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...arger-mount-inlet-install-lots-of-pics.44466/
Being in northern MN I changed the location of the NOCO GCP1 Outlet from the front bumper to a location not effected by slush/ice/snow…near the cowl.
Here’s how I did it (if anyone is curious):
1. I used a Lenox 2” hole saw with arbor (thanks to @digger84 from WranglerForum for the suggestion) to make the hole but first drilled small pilot hole:
2. I caulked the exposed edge around the perimeter of the hole and applied caulk in between the NOCO outlet to make sure no water can get through and then screwed it down (I actually screwed it in place first, removed the screws and outlet, and then did all the caulking):
(Note to self: wrap wire loom around cable for added protection).
3. I then removed the felt top of the battery, opened up the carrying handles, and used a bunch of caulk to “glue” the NOCO Genius GenPro 10x1 in between the handles (I will secure it further another day). You can see it fits perfectly inside the handles and is very secure already:
You can see where I brought in the cord from the NOCO outlet (again, I need wire loom for the cable here):
And there we have it folks! Now I can simply plug it in when it sits for extended periods!
