Where did you get your vehicle set for towing?
We have a 2008 jeep liberty that will more than likely become our toad vehicle. Wondering where folks took their vehicles to be equipped for toad service

DIY for a Honda Fit, Blue Ox baseplate. About 6 hours work in the sun, 100F temperatures, more like 140 down in the driveway.
Six hours spread over two days, an hour disassembly, four drilling, fitting, grinding, hour of reassembly, much of the work sitting or laying on that hot driveway. If I had to do it again, would look for a better time and place, and have a fresh drill bit for each hole. Manufacturers seem to be using some incredibly tough steels to for unibody structural parts for cars with no frames at all.
Should have paid the local RV dealer $200 to do the work in his shop, but didn't want to wait three weeks for an opening in his schedule. Next time I'll be better about my scheduling.
Lights solution was easier, using magnetics because I tow multiple vechicles. Same for brakes, brake in a box can be moved vehicle to vehicle, permanent installations often cleaner but a lot more work and not immediately transferable.
