This is what I’m thinking. Costs nothing, but can take some miles to relearn

Loosen the tire to get the straps back there? Thread straps between spokes on the tire rim? Tie it up across the C-Pillar inside? Just clip it to the hitch receiver and let it drag behind you?

Found out the same with the ProCal scanner - it only looks at the PCM, and everything else it more or less just pretends doesn't exist.

This is the truth. A winch will get you out of almost anything. But you need to get out, find something to pull off from, tie it off, wind it back up when done, and hope you don't snap a line and take off your arm, and knock all the snow/mud/river water/dirt off your boots. A locker will get...

Just doing some basic internet sleuthing and rebuilt/remanned 2.3's were in the $3-5k range, and 2.7 s in the $4-6k range, and fairly readily available. (Remanned Coyotes also in the $4-7k range, but not sure what additional costs with a conversion would entail - and tons of those available)

What get’s “retrained” in the ADAS? The camera?

Ouch. I think at that point I'd just look at dropping in a complete reman or something.

Most FDU failures I've seen (around the internet, not in person -- and that aren't from obvious user error) seem to be because of a leaking pinion seal. These FDU's do not have a lot of volume of oil, and so you lose a little bit and what's left gets hot fast, and I'm not convinced the "splash"...

Bracket is a 90’ bent sheet metal bolted to the battery plate, not the battery itself. This one came with the Stinger solenoid but it isn’t anything fancy.

That's a nice looking shelf. It doesn't vibrate around too much while in motion? I know those power stations can be heavy. It looks sturdy enough to support the weight for sure. Have you had any issues trickle charging yours through the cargo power point? I know a lot of folks have come away...

I know the feeling

Lots of ways to tackle that. Least intrusive would probably be to put a whip around the cable and strap it around to something near so it stays in a bit better. But you could go all the way and replace the connector with something more robust, like a twist lock barrel connector or something.

Winches can exceed 500A

I have a cutout solenoid mounted there:
