I did the same thing. Ordered a hitch and wiring harness from Northridge. $109 Should be here any day.

If you have some basic sockets and a torque wrench you can handle the hitch. The wiring harness is not hard either, just have to follow the instructions.

The bumpers were not a direct fit according to NR4x4, didn't get the details as I was more excited to get the Jeep back than I was expecting, lol. LOD did have a relocation bracket for that "vacuum pump" by the front bumper. We managed to get a skidrow skidplate thrown on, but it took modification that I again did not get the details.

Is that Plug in the front bumper for a tow bar and if so what brand are you using?

Beautiful jeep by the way.
