Flush Hitch Install = Hitch + Wiring seamless?
Greetings,
Yes... before you ask... I have searched almost the entire forum for a couple of hours and I can't seem to find agood answer to this one. I am getting ready to order my Hitch/Wiring Harness for my '08 4-Door Sahara. I am landing in the camp on wanting a more of a flush (closer to the bumper) look for my Hitch. I have settled on these two choices for the hitch: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=15830 http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=4160 and then the wiring harness: http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=15831 This seems to be a very simple install. What I haven't seen posted/pics anywhere would be how "seamless" this wiring harness snaps into the Hitch itself. I really don't want wiring "hanging" around underneath the bumper and if the Hidden Hitch provides a more "factory look" that snaps the electrical connection to the hitch, I guess I'd go route. Does the above (Curt/Rugged) harness snap seamlessly into the Hitch? //Cheers

I prefer an outlet on the bumper itself, rather than hanging over by the hitch. FWIW, my Jeep came with the tow package and I was not real impressed with how the hitch holds on to the electrical outlet. It's more or less just friction holding it there. I also didn't like that it was just a flat four connector. So, I made a mod - see picts below. Note that this solution gives both a flat four AND a round 7-way connector. Also note, the second picture is with the bumper off the Jeep, undergoing a lighting test - which is why the wires are visible. On the Jeep, it is factory/stock quality (:
