    Need to move my trailer harness, that thing is going to get ripped off down there. Saw some that were turned upside down, don't want to do that. Saw some that went through the license plate light or drilled next to it. Going this route unless I see something better. Ideas/Tips/Advice please!

    How do you like it by the plate? Any issues? Pretty simple job?

    yes it reasonably flat there and easy to drill through tuck the wires up as high as you can and the spare protects the plug from trhe rocks

    The one I got? Bullala or bukaki something is beautiful and does. Perfect job. Cnc aluminum.

    One thing I noticed was it caught a bit of water during the car wash.

    I just open it to drain it afterwards

    I put mine next to the plate. Used the hole saw from my door knob install set. Easy day, once you get past putting a hole saw to a 30k truck :)

    Is one light instead of two less noticeable? I'm not a fan of being pulled over, last thing i want to do is give cops a legitimate reason to pull me over lol. U got a pic of the plate lit up?

    13 cupholders for beer. All the Weathertechs.
    I relocated mine to the trash after I ripped it off doing some minor wheeling. Best part was that I had been talking to my buddy that day, about how I needed to relocate my 7-pin before I ripped it off. Good thing I'll never be towing with my taco...

    Definitely don't wait to relocate it. I can't stress enough how easily I ripped mine off.
