So I just stuck one of these on today:
Looks great and went on without a hitch. (ha!) Now, obviously, I need wiring for this thing. So, to you guys -- which one do I get? How easy is installation? (I'm fairly handy with electronics as long as the instructions are fairly clear)

So, I saw this:

Which claims "no cutting, no splicing, plug and play". Anyone else use one of these and can offer their input?

I've had the Jeep for a week, don't want to mess this up and have to swap it with something else when I realize I messed up and bought some crap wiring harness.

Thanks guys!

I hope you either installed or kept the little plate that holds the 4 flat socket. Many other hitches have that as part of the hitch.

Here is the Quadratec wiring kit:

While the one on my JK came from the factory, I installed a similar kit on my TJ. If you're curious, you can scroll down the Quatratec listing and download the install sheet.

They also have the Mopar version which also requires running extra wires as it has not only a four flat connection but a 7 pin connection as well. Not needed unless you need trailer brakes.

Yup, I installed the plate that holds the wiring plug. Ironically, I initially forgot it lol but hadn't tightened it down yet, so... I can claim I didn't forget, right? right?

So I ordered the CURT harness. I'll post once it comes in and I install it. Hopefully it goes off without any issues.
