This is how I received the frame.

This is the setup I used to mount it to the bumper. I drilled a 1/4 hole right above the existing holes for the license plate. Worked perfectly and the nut adds a bit more peace of mine.

If u look under the truck, you will see the wire harness running up into the bed to the tail light between the spare tire and your rear bumper.. i just zip tied the License light wire to the harness, fed it up into the tail light area with clothes hanger, and tapped into the reverse light wire!

Real simple: just find the black tubing that contains your taillight wires. If you lay under your truck underneath the hitch the tubing will come out from where your tail lights are. Follow the tubing up to the rear of your taillight and find the reverse bulb. There are two wires coming off of it, I think the blue wire was positive. Splice, electrical tape, zip ties and voila.

Too late. Out of stock already. I should have seen this earlier.

Forgot to mention: I checked every inch of my frame and I found 0 defects.
