I installed my Noco plug in the rear bumper, but I typically back into my parking spot at the house.

That makes me wonder if a Kussmaul or similar auto-ejector like what is on emergency vehicles could be retrofitted to the bumper
The Super Auto Eject might fit in the rear bumper near where mine is. Not sure about the front. Its waterproof though so it doesnt have to be completely hidden away.

I velcroed the Naco to my battery cover and zip tied the cord so it fell just below the fender liner in both Gladiators. It takes a few seconds to plug/unplug it and I didn’t have to drill or alter anything permanently. Yes, I have driven off with it plugged in but the tire rolls over it and unplugs it. An unintentional consequence that has been tested more than once.

so IF you are going thru the body sheetmetal get one of these knock out punch sets or if you have a buddy who is an electrician, he should have one too

Those work well. I was skeptical that it’d make a clean cut at first but after using it it did the job at a fraction of the price of a more mainstream branded set.
