Block Heater Cord

[JP15]

Does anyone else find the block heater cord really short?

On my Rubicon, the cord just reaches half way up the hood, and with the higher fender flares really isn't much room for the cord to come out. There isn't any extra cord besides the little that is bundled up with the velcro strap, they have it cable tied as tight as possible.

I was talking with someone who has a Toyota truck and they have an exterior plug with a specific end to use. I looked for some options online and found a connector with an extension cord built in and mounted it on the plastic bumper by the fog light. A pain to have to do this because of a short cord but now I don't have to deal with the cord flapping around in the wind.

Can you provide the source of the connector that you used please. I think it's a great idea.

I bought it on Amazon, there is another one I saw on this forum but I know this one just fits in that location of the bumper. The 6 foot is the one I used and has a bit of extra cord left.
