Could not tow the new tail home because it was not legal yet and it had a 1 7/8" coupler. |
So I strapped it to the top of he jeep :-) |
Its so tiny :-) |
Drilled 4 holes under the tire well |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
$16 go me a 3500 pounds bumper hitch from Harbor Freight |
Side View The holes are exactly the size of the bolts to mazimize the metal load spread and minimize chance of pull through. |
Hardware from Homedepot finished the install |
All good strong hardware and some fender washers to spread the load. |

|
It hangs No lower than anything else on the car |
And is far enough forward to be invisible when not in use but is a normal 2" reciever. Nice. |
$8 got me the wiring kit from Harbor Freight and $4 got me the tester which will also be the plug when not in use to keep things clean and neat. |
Remove the bottom tail gate area cover don't forget the pins at the bottom! |

Here is the wiring harness to the Drivers side tail light. I used the schemes in the FSM to figure the wires out |
Tested it by shoving the wires in here (Passenger side turn signal is on the other clip on the other side) |
Wires from behind - I used the splicers it came with to install. |
Used the tester to make sure all was wired properly. This car is SEPARATE turn and brake so I need to get an adaptor so I can have both for now I rigged for running lights and turn signals since you can clearly see the mouse's brake lights over the trailer. |

There were covers over these holes?? one was missing so I used is as the egress for the wires. |
Fits nice and snug for storage |
Trailer hooked up! |
It sits low in the front I would later discover it only took a tiny "shove" to get the 2" riser draw bar to link up properly. |
 |
 |
 |
|
So it now sits perfectly level even loaded down. |
42x48" surface area. PERFECT for my little mouse. |
Gonna have to paint it blue to match now :-) |
