I recently made a mount for a Noco GCP1 AC input jack on my 2003.
This is a recent pic of my '03 after the GoRhino install.
Heres a pic of the Noco input jack
So I decided I wanted to mount that jack onto the push bumper and thought of a few ways. Drilling a hole straight through the steel and have it out the side was one, but would permanently alter it. Also, would damage and remove the powder coat. I pretty much wanted to mount it some way that was removable and would not modify the GoRhino.
So that meant making a mount that would attach the plug to the GoRhino.
This is what I came up with. Pretty much a box with a hole in it the cord goes through. This was finished prodect, just before paint. You can see Im bolting through the side plate, but Im using a already existing hole. Then I have a piece of 2x1/8 stock going down to the bottom 1/2" bolt to support it there. The whole thing is 2x and 3x1/8" flat stock. It was very nice that the 3" wide stock was pretty much the ideal size for it. Very overkill, very solid. Does not give when you are pushing the cord into the jack.
And finished, put together and in use. I did upgrade the supplied bolts with the Noco part to stainless with some shopping at lowes. The one negative about it, I think is the steel bolts it comes with. Easy to fix, though.
