Default Looking to add factory style tow package

I'm ordering a tranny cooler. My main concern is the trailer wiring though. I found a somewhat informative post here:
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/fin...nversion-9039/
Is there a place besides a junkyard I can obtain the factory wiring? Or is there a recommended way to wire in a 7 way trailer plug. That is the key thing there, I want a 7 plug since I am planning to add electric brakes.

How reliable is adding a 4 flat t-harness, then a 4 way to 7 and 4 adapter. I'm a little sketchy on this after seeing that the factory harness incorporates multiple relays. I can just make a harness with the relays and everything, but I kinda want something as close to plug and play as possible.

Thanks for any input.

Im fully aware of those. But im looking for a factory setup. Ive already located the hitch itself. Im looking for a factory harness from somewhere other than a junkyard since cherokees are pretty few and far between at boneyards by me.
