(More customer reviews)This product took me approx 30 min. to install. I first got a 2 1/4" hole saw, (I think that was the size, it wasn't smaller then 2") and I marked out a spot in my bed that would be good for this plug. I chose a few inches behind the driver side wheel well. I installed this on a dodge so make sure your plug won't be affected by the different levels on the inside of the bed. Make sure all four holes will lay flush.
I drilled out my hole and just as a precaution put some touch up paint on the bare metal to prevent future rusting. I attached the harness to the plug and fed everything down thru the hole. I then went under the truck and found the harness, routed it safely over to where the existing 7 way harness plugs in. Removed that plug, (theres a red clip you have to slide with a screw driver) and plugged my new harness into that socket. Slide your clip on your new plug! Then I took the other end of my new harness and plugged it into the plug that I just removed from the existing harness. SIMPLE!! Zip tie your extra 6 feet or so of wire up with the provided zip ties. Next go back up in the bed and pitch those dinky little self tappers they give ya with this kit cause there almost to short, and what happens if you start pluggin and unpluggin your big 7 way plug from your trailer? Your gonna eventually work them screws out. I used the same size self tapper just a longer length. If you think you can do it, you might wanna try bolts but it's gonna be hard gettin your hand up that high to tightened the nuts if your workin from the ground.
Overall this things is very simple to install, well worth the price for quality and plenty of wire. Will keep your trailer plug in the bed instead of hangin over your tail gate where it can easily fall behind your bumper and first turn you take its gonna snap. So spend some money and buy this kit, save yourself the 90.00 that a professional will charge ya to do the same job. Also, search this product on you tube. Theres a instructional video on there that shows installing this same part number. Might try searching goosneck plug or somthing along those lines to bring it up.
