The CURT Cargo Carrier, # C18145, is designed to fit in either a 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. As long as your 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is equipped with a hitch, you can use the carrier. But first, I recommend measuring for clearance.
Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the distance to clear the rear bumper. If this measurement is less than 6 inches, the carrier will fit. You will also need to consider the spare tire position if mounted on the back of your Wrangler. The rails on the carrier are 5-1/2 inches up from the top of the shank. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review of this rack for you to view.
If you need a trailer hitch, I recommend the Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch, # 87431. It is the most popular hitch for you vehicle. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
