Retainer Clip & Cable Ties It helps secure the harness kit to the backside of the taillight,elegant & neat solution for organizing electrical wires RUGGED CONSTRUCTION Heavy Duty Steel Construction ,Thick Welds for Superior Strength ,Built for Long Lasting Durability Product Detail Nilight VS Others Fitment Type Easy Installation Application Review: Extremely pleased! I've included some install tips - Fit and finish is very good and seems like it will be durable -- better than expected! The wiring harness is easy to use & plenty long to allow for routing. They provide multiple tie-downs to make the wiring secure and provide a factory look. Install was easy for one person. The only negative is that the installation instructions are just snapshots from the video on this desertcart listing, but neither tells you how to remove the bumper, and neither provides wrench sizes or torque specs. INSTALL TIPS: 1. The video shows the bumper removed, but doesn't tell you how. It's easy as there are only eight 15mm bolts. It does help to have both long and short 15mm sockets. Do a DuckDuckGo search for a video showing the bumper removal so you can see where the bolts are. Once unbolted, the bumper is lightweight plastic and easy to handle. 2. The spare does NOT need to be removed as shown in some videos online. Just open the door all the way. 3. I used a 19mm socket and Crescent wrench for the new hitch bolts. They are super easy to get to with the bumper off. Unfortunately, the video doesn't give any torque specs. The hitch squeezes against the frame as you tighten. Start at one end, then tighten all four in sequence so it doesn't warp or bow in the middle. Then re-tighten all four again because the first ones you tightened will have loosened a bit as the others took up the pressure. Even a 3rd tightness check wouldn't hurt just for security. 4. Pay attention as you remove the left taillight because there are two types of screws. The two closest to the tailgate are pointed sheet metal screws that actually hold the unit on. The outboard screws are coarser to fit into the plastic positioning molding. Review: Great value and easy install - Installation was exactly as expected. Remove the plastic bumper cover (6 bolts) install the Nilght hitch receiver as the instructions lay out. No torque specs are provided, so tighten those 8.8 bolts until everything stops moving together. The provided wiring harness clips right in and keeps the wiring super simple. The only criticism I have is the flimsy wiring zip ties. They hold the cable, but don't stay in any of the holes in the factory bumper structure. Overall, I think this is a great product and value. I'll update as at start hauling our trailer with it. ## Features - REAR 2" RECEIVER HITCH: - Standard 2 inch square receiver with a Rating of 3500 Lb Gross Trailer Weight and 350 Lb Tongue Weight, is made of unique all-in-one heavy-duty thickness tubes - COMPATIBILITY: - Rear receiver hitch Compatible for 2007-2018 Jeep wrangler JK 2 door & 4 doors.
