Factory Receiver Hitch
Hello all! The Factory Mopar Hitch on my 01 Cherokee is a goner. The square tuber is falling apart (rust) and the brackets are chunky rusty. The mounts are still good and I can easily pickup a pair of heavy duty brackets from JCR. My only question is the Receiver/Hitch itself.
If at all possible, I'd like to go with a Factory Replacement just because it has the plug wiring box in place. If its anything I can't stand is a floppy plug zip tied to the back of the hitch. A Curt or heavy duty Hitch would be awesome, unfortunately I can't find anything with a plug box.
BTW - This is what I have currently installed:

Any help or suggestions would be great

Why not pull the box off of the old hitch and put it on a new one? That way you dont have to pay $5000 dollars on a new factory hitch.
Also, there are plenty of other mounts you can use for the wiring that go onto the hitch/body.

These aren't integrated into the Squarebar, they're drilled and installed. Interesting that the hitchstore.com and a few others said that they don't carry anything like this and that I should just do what every one else does and just zip tie the female connector somewhere around the gas tank and let it dangle
