    Have you guys ever thought of making a trailer plug relocation bracket for the factory hitch/ 7 pin plug?

    I'm looking for one that faces the plug towards the ground, and tucks it up under the hitch instead of right out the back- similar to this thread--- http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...diy-relocate-trailer-harness.html#post3316038 ( credit to those in the thread, I did not create this idea).

    Ive seen your work and you guys do great stuff. I would much rather spend a little on a pro quality one than make it myself! Plus you guys are right across the bay from me :cool:

    Plug location

    I somehow hit mine the other weekend, and bent the exisiting one out a ways, and also tore the plug from the holder.

    Toyota wants $256 for a new plug and $275 to install.

    For that amount would look to a new rear bumper.

    What I am going to do is replace, but move to a higher spot,

    I would be interested in being a test truck for this one. I destroyed mine a while ago when I was out wheeling and just haven't had time to fix it. I do need to buy a couple things from Jerry so it would be convenient for me. I wouldn't be able to head down that way until the weekend after next though.
