I did the same thing to my truck, except I drilled the hole on the driver's side of the bumper.
Bass Pro shops used to have them on sale for $12.99. That's where I picked mine up. Might want to check there first and see if they are still the cheapest place.
Some quick tips: After drilling the hole (the package tells you exactly what size to drill, it's not a 2", but close to it), file down the edges and put some paint or sealer on it. I just bought some chrome rattle can paint, sprayed a bunch in a pan, and used a brush to coat the bare metal. After it dries, install the plug, and use some silicon sealant around the inside edge and around the wiring case to keep moisture out. Doing it that way will keep corrosion out and make sure it works a lot longer.
My $.02 anyway.

Bass Pro Shops is still the cheapest at $16.99. I went to West Marine and showed them Bass Pro Shops price, and they beat it by 10%. I only went to West Marine because they are 5 min from my house.
Bass Pro Shops item # is: 38-546-317-00 for $16.99.
The Marinco part # is: 150BBI

Keep in mind- you need a "tickler" to keep you from driving off having forgotten to unplug the thing. Some drape the 110v cord over the driver mirror, some have a flag they stick in the ignition keyhole- whatever works for you.
