Manufacturer InstructionsInstallation of a Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler
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.
