Your concerns are mine too. The slotted L brackets are 8 gauge 201 stainless steel. The velcro straps are heavy duty. It's amazing how strong they are. There's rubber foam between the battery and glass. I'm adding another velcro strap in the other plane.
This is much stronger than any molle...
I used to wedge mine anywhere too but I like the floor space, knowing it's secure and always ready to charge something. There is always something to charge these days.
I love the XG Cargo bags too. There so much stuff in them!
I have rubber washers to keep it from vibrating and the straps keep it firmly in place. It's very secure.
I had issues trickle charging with my first cable but updated to a better fitting 12v and have had no issues since.
After 2 years of design and testing I believe I have perfected the design. Materials used include: 1/2 thick HDPE Plastic sheet, velcro straps, stainless stain slotted L brackets, M8x40 bolts, washers, 1/4 20 studs, two 3/8 thick spacers and adhesive rubber seals to keep it from scratching the...
Final fix here was to remove the front body mount bolt and thoroughly clean with break cleaner. It was packed with mud and water.
Warning: If doing this be sure to only use hand tools. An impact might break the captive nut welded to the frame.

Hey Guys, I was able to fix the issue. It was the front most body mount. I just sprayed some WD-40 Silicone into the top through the engine bay and bottom via the wheel arch. It went away after a few days as the WD-40 penetrated.
Update. It's metal on metal contact on the front most body mount. I have an appointment at the body shop on Monday. Fingers crossed!
Thank you, Everyone!
I’ve had a creaking noise from the front driver’s side for about 6 months, and it has been steadily getting worse.
I’ve already tried:
washing and cleaning the area
WD-40
silicone spray
I took it to the dealership, and they said everything looks fine, but the creaking is still pretty bad...
Thank you all for your help! My Bronco was in an accident and work was done on that side. Two dealerships have checked during regular service and they said everything is torqued correctly. Not sure if they know to check for a twisted link.
The creak started a year after the repair work. Below...

I tried my best to mitigate that risk with the heavy duty velcro straps and bolting it to the hardtop mounts. It's very well restrained.
I do believe this is safer than just having the battery laying on the floor with the seats down. In that case it's a free moving object.
I use the EB55 just about everyday to charge devices and having it on the floor drove me crazy. That space was otherwise empty so I thought why not put it there. Having mounted up there also makes packing and plugging stuff in so much easier.
After an entire summer of testing I believe I have perfected the design. Materials used include: 1/2 thick HDPE Plastic sheet, velcro straps, adhesive felt sheet, M8x40 bolts, washers, 1/4 20 ball mount, 1/4 20 tripod extension, 30mm rubber ball, 1/4 20 studs, two 3/8 thick spacers and adhesive...
I'll see if I can find someone local that has one like that. It makes sense due to it not reading anything past the PCM.
Does anyone know how to change that manually on my laptop? Is it possible to switch it to read the modules and not the PCM?
