Relocated rear tow plug above license plate. Cool Tech wire harness routed behind tail light via opening under left rear fender. Plenty of room to work with tail light removed:

KB7OUR,
My wire harness looks like crap under the bumper. Yours looks really good, well finished...but why up there? Could you educate me on the reasons whys, maybe some pros/cons...

Stuff above the plug is just dirt/muck not paint damage.
Stock location hangs low enough to get damaged off road (i.e. dragged, cable pinched, etc.).
New location helps keep tow cable away from the ground for use with off road trailer.
Fit and finish looks nearly custom and does not move when plugging in or removing heavy 7-way trailer cable.
I thought about inside the bumper but I'm buying the AEV rear when it comes out.
I thought it out and liked the idea of the location I used. The only con is the 2" hole through 2 layers of metal but the plug is going to stay so not really an issue. Others may think of cons...I like it and it works for me.
As a side note when I tow to counter a little rear sag I just air up newly installed Air Lift airbags. Valve stem is located inside the fuel door.

Went by National Muffler (locally owned shop) and got me a Flowmaster 40 series muffler installed yesterday. I do not have any sound clips recorded yet but it sounds like this:
