Block heater plug mod
This will prove to me one of my most practical mod I have done to date during the winter months.
I installed a weatherproof flush mount plug-in in the bumper. Its made for boats and have a 15A rating. I purchased it from a boating store and it ran me around $23.
This is the write-up I used for the info

Yes a very nice upgrade to this mod would be use an auto-eject plug I have seen on Firetrucks. Turn on the key and it spits out the plug. No more driving away with your cord following you!

Actually I have only dragged the cords out about 20 feet or so. Thats why I use a nice bright yellow cord but I also wrap it around something solid so I don't rip the wall plug out!
