OEM Hitch & Harness
Well, they are on.
I think turbot-bird had the right idea of taking the whole bumper off, it isn't that hard and it does make life easier when you are torquing down the bolts. The OEm hitch comes with a bracket for the 7 pin plug, but aside from that, it is very much like the Valley Hitch.
The OEM harness essentially 'plug and play' and there was onlyone wire to splice into(not sure what it is for) and all that is left is a blue wire. I think it is for electric brakes or some such....
Installation was not as bad as I first thought, but it is *much* easier to run the harness from the front to the back rather than from back to front like the instuctions said to do it. Oh, and the *instructions* are just pictures so if you don't know what you are looking at, and what angle, it takes a bit of time, but if you can follow the other OEM harnesses, that is the way to go.
