Today we are going to install part number 13408 from Curt, and we are going to install this on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. What is going to happen is we are going to install where this bolt is. It will reuse this existing hole that comes with a new fastener, and also this existing hole here in the frame. Also, to give us a little bit extra working room, we are going to disconnect the exhaust at these two bolts right here, just to give us a little more flexibility so we have a little bit more room to work. All right, next we will install our hardware for this hole here. Sometimes, if this hole is not big enough, there is a bigger access hole further up in the frame and you can pull it through. But in this case we actually have enough room to just do everything in one spot. Put it in the hole we are going to use, push it up in there, put our block in there, and pull it back through.
And at this point, we have got your hardware installed, we can go ahead and lift your hitch into position, and hang it by those bolts we just installed. And you want to leave your hardware loose so you can move the hitch around as needed to thread into your bolts right here. The Jeep itself, depending on the year, will actually have different bolts that are used, so the hardware that comes with this has different bolts. And the best way to match up the bolt to make sure you have the right one is by the size of the bolt itself. And b, the more accurate way is if you put the threads together and they mesh evenly, then you know you have the right bolt. Now we have got all our bolts started, we can go ahead and snug them down. Now we can go ahead and torque the bolts down to their specified settings in the instructions. Our next step after torquing the bolts is to go ahead and reinstall the exhaust hanger. All right, and with those bolts torqued down, that finishes our install of part number 13408 from Curt.

Jeep Wrangler - '04- hitch installation Product arrived promptly, complete and undamaged. The 20 minute install time is not realistic for a first timer without an air ratchet. More like 45-60 minutes but still fast and fairly simple. The carriage bolts do not fit through the access hole noted. After trying to grind the head smaller I decided to try the hole where it will attach instead. With the fish wire it was easy to insert and retrieve through the same hole so I would suggest that. Hitch looks great and glad to see the "Made in America" sticker on it. Thanks. 4865

This is a very nice receiver. The problem I had is that the carriage bolts supplied do not fit through the access hole on the side of the frame. I had to grind a flat edge on one side of the carriage bolt to get it to slip into the access hole on the side of the frame on my 2004 Jeep Wrangler. Fortunately, I have an air grinder so I was able to do it fairly quickly. It could take a while if you had to file it by hand. Other than that, no problems with the installation.26626

This product was easier then I expected to install and I must say the wire tool they send with it to fish the bolts into place work like a charm. I would recommend this product to any jeep owners looking to install a hitch.22561

Installing this by yourself is possible! Yes, it was extremely easy to install, but took longer than the 30 minutes, because I had no help available at the time. The video showing the installation made all the difference!! Thank you providing the video. eTrailer is a better web site than all the rest!15371

Excellent product for the money; GREAT PRICE and speedy delivery!!! Only issue I have is that it was not a 30 minute install. I realize that hitches are made to standards to fit most vehicles without any problems. However, the tolerances were so close on this hitch that the gas tank shielding on the jeep was in the way on the driver side. With some persistence and slight prying I finally managed to get all the bolt holes lined up. The hitch did not install as simply as illustrated in the how to video.10512

This is a great company which gives you online instruction via pdf and video on how to install trailer hitch and associated wiring and accessories. From order to delivery, (free delivery charges) only took 3 days while they advertised 5 days. Additionally, communication to the buyer was over the top, along the entire process from order to delivery. 26825

I had quite a problem getting off the bolt holding on the tow hook, the one farthest forward held on with a nut with a tab on it ...which bent around the nut and kept turning, I had to use a hacksaw to cut the bolt head off. Other than that, the hitch bolted on with no other problems. Your map showing where the hitch was during delivery is great....the best I have ever seen. Great hitch ...fast delivery. 2002 X21448
