This weekend, I installed the RR trailer hitch with the wiring harness. The install went great!
Where can I find a fixed plug for the bracket that came with it?
I dont want to leave the stock plug just dangling...

Thats what that bracket to the left is for. The female wiring hub fits right in to it only exposing the open end.

Seems like it should have been part of the kit.

I contacted rugged ridge about this same issue and they told me its a design flaw that they are aware of, and to just zip tie the connector somehow. I was not impressed.

Also, be warned, my taillight signal converter which is part of the rugged ridge wiring harness failed after 6 months.

Yeah there is definitely no way it fits in that bracket. I thought about Zip ties but I may end up going a different route.

I just finally installed the wiring and have to say i am really disappointed with that little cutout they made. Totally useless.
