Block Heater Plug Relocation

Did my block heater relocation and it turned out well, i was tired of the cord hanging out the front and it always being wet in the rain and snow so i did this and it works wonderfully, i though id share this maybe someone else may want to do this or may even have a better way of doing this than i have, hope ya all like it.

I guess that will work! I don't particularly care for the idea of putting it in the fender, but I like the idea of the plug. Some guys have done a Marinco plug in the bumper and I like that idea too, but I just can't bring myself to drill big holes into the body or the bumper for this mod. I am thinking of mounting one on a bracket and hiding it somewhere.





As long as you like it, that's all that matters. It looks really well done. Nice job!
