I got this cool little Loki Thor! (The name cracks me up every time.) Battery jump pack AND 150 psi. tire inflator. AND USB device charger. AND! 300 Lumen work light ?

For $140 I have a feeling yours truly be using it on other peoples' cars more often than my own truck. But feels great to have onboard! I am looking forward to using it to pump up my truck tires faster than rolling out my pancake compressor. I also bought this to be able to pump up the tires on our photography carts. They are huge and when the tires get low they are a bear to pull or push. I got sick of having to drag aforementioned pancake to work so this is a killer option as well.

Hey Adam,
Looks like you're going the route of David @subquark. Watch him! :bandit: ...he's getting as many 5g members as he can to get their porches stacked with Mod's and compete with him for the most packages‼ :ninja: ?? I suspect next he will try to get a dump runner competition in the works❗ :LOL:

@OrangeStreak - oh no this is a competition I'm not sure I want to win and now I'm a bit more self-aware of my amazon spending habits ?

As far as the dump goes - I mean Soupie has his own sticker, how am I going to compete with that?

That lead is very short and, as @AzScorpion says, get the other cables. I followed his install and posted my own pics.

Be careful installing the ground, it would really bite to drop that screw.

I also bought the silicone bumper for mine but it doesn't do much for me, although the CTEK is always on the garage floor.

I'd like to change my connector to a magnetic one since I tend to not use my "remove before flight" thing, even though I put it on a magnet for easy use.

Good luck and post pics!

My "install":

Update: right now, on the floor in the silicone bumper, truck plugged in, but the remove tag is in the garage far from the truck, don't do as I do, do as I say! =D

Ed, you can get this longer 8' lead here. I ran mine down through the front and out the tow hook. Then when not in use you can tuck it inside the rubber tow hook boot.

Pictures of how I ran mine.

Thanks. Have the 8 ft lead on the way so the maintainer can use the door opener outlet in the ceiling with that hanging down. Was hoping the battery lead would reach the dash but probably will just use the clamps until it warms up some.

I was planning on mounting the charger on the ceiling and dropping the extension down with the plug on the kick panel. That way the wire would be closed in the door or run through the window so I can't miss it. Was hoping the battery cable would be a little longer to reach into the cab. If I can find an hot wire under the dash that's not switched would probably work also. Wish the cigarette lighter wasn't switched and I could just plug in there.

Hi Folks,

I just received my class 4 trailer hitch from DrawTite. I presented this to Margie as our 18th wedding anniversary present today. I was appalled by her reaction. A wonderful addition but she did not see it that way. So to make nice, we had celebration dinner and desert and bought her beloved hibiscus a terracotta dish to capture water as it sits insides like Tito is... Slightly below freezing.

Btw....Margie was using her computer and Tito was asleep in her toe kick area. She was sitting at the computer with feet on either side of him..He awakened and moved left and drove her foot away, then to the right, same thing. Do not invade HIS territory even in Brumation (like hibernation).

Best,
Phil

26 brackets for... things happening soon.

Also I got the first batch of some KC Gravity Pro6 knock offs in for testing for which there is this thread to document what is truth and what is bologna. Purist take your blood pressure meds if you wish to proceed on that.

Bike porn - nice! ?

And folks on here thought building up their Rangers was expensive. :D
By the looks of the threads in the off topic section we all seem to have expensive taste. Guns, knives, woodworking and bikes are just as big a money pit as our trucks. ?
