Hey everyone - I installed the JCR Offroad bumper on my XJ today and think it's fantastic. I removed my old trailer hitch in the process since the new bumper comes with a built-in hitch.
For my old hitch, I had a round 7 pin plug for the trailer lights that whose bracket was mounted to my stock bumper. I love the clean look of the JCR bumper without an electrical bracket hanging off of it, but I can't figure out what to do with the wiring. I currently have it loosely hanging out the back of the XJ. On my minivan, the wiring is in a little compartment inside the rear panel that I pull out when I need to tow a trailer.
For those with an aftermarket bumper, how do you have your trailer wiring harness set up? I'm looking for ideas as I'm at a dead end here. I'm wondering if I can/should ditch the 7 pin plug and go for a smaller and flat 4 pin plug, but that still leaves me unsure of where to put the wires. I wouldn't mind having them inside the XJ and to fish them out when I tow, but I can't think of an obvious place for this. Thoughts?
