I have suggested this many times before, but with your particular toad, I would just make up a light bar for the hitch receiver or use a hitch haul itself for mounting the lights. I like the hitch haul better, as it's ready for the receiver and gives you some extra cargo space if needed during your travels.
Run some cable wiring from your umbilical outlet on the front to a connector on the rear (through the frame works well) that you can plug into with this removable unit. Now, you're completely isolated from the Jeep's wiring and one that didn't require any invasive procedure's or mods to the vehicle's internal wiring. With the last one we did for a friend, he was also able to plug into it with his trailer connector, when not towing and utilize the extra lighting.
Thanks for the reply. That wouldn't work in my situation, as we'll often use the Liberty's hitch for a bike rack, plus I need to be able to trickle charge the battery on the Jeep (steering lock, so key has to be turned for towing, and battery drains - not willing to do battery disconnect or mods to steering lock).
Thanks.
