You can always go to etrailer.com They have everything you would need and then some. Don't know the price on the stock hitch but they sell them for $114.

I got mine at U-Haul for almost the same price it would have cost to order one and have it shipped up here.

I'd love to get a hitch but correct me if I'm wrong
if it didn't come with one then it needs to have the wires run also

This is the one I got... ebay

Rugged Ridge Hitch and MOPAR wiring harness for about $140.....the harness itself is about $40-$50 from the dealer depending on the day, weather, and who answers the phone.

Default Jeep Hitch

Check to make sure witch one you get.

I got a after market hitch receiver for a 4x4 show. Once install the thing stick out the bumper a good 3-4 inches. if you go off-road this is going to drag a lot. So I went and returned it. I got the Jeep one from the dealer and for the same price it doesn't stick out at all. It is flush with the bumper.

It is up to you.

just FYI, the Rugged Ridge I've got sits flush with the bumper like the MOPAR hitch...and I'm pretty sure it's more than a little bit cheaper.
