Most Popular Hitch Extender for 2004 Jeep Wrangler

Allows me to use my back rack and small boat trailer without having to remove the spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler. Works well.

The Brophy hitch extender was well built and delivered the tongue weight I needed to carry my e-bikes. It did accept the Hollywood RV Rider bike rack. It did not however fit appropriately with my Drawtite hitch to allow the use of an anti-rattle bracket. This allowed too much movement of the bike rack.

This extension works as advertised and allows plenty of clearance from the rear mounted spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler. Please note this product is for use when attaching a bike rack and not for towing trailers and such.

Fast shipping and a good product.

Perfect hitch addition to extend past the big spare tire on my Wrangler XL. Glad I got the anti-vibration version of the hitch extension.

Just received the 41/48 inch hitch extension today so haven’t actually used it. However, one can tell the high quality by looking at the welds and thick paint coating. This item is extremely heavy. I expected some weight to it, but it surprised me. Also, the tubing has very tight tolerances. I have two ball mounts, neither of which slid into the extension on their own. I had to pound them in and tap them out with a 3 pound hammer. Once paint and labels were scraped away by this action the ball mounts were able to be slid in by hand. This extension will be used on my dually carrying my truck camper. I’ll be towing an aluminum trailer with a Can Am Spyder. Total weight towed will be less than 2000 pounds so I don’t expect the extension to be subjected to any stress.

As per my last 3 orders here are some pictures of how I received the item along with what was broke or bent. I can fix it but I shouldn’t have to. So I will try elsewhere from now on cant deal with your shipping dept , anymore.

Perfect for my application. My rack now clears the spare time on my Jeep Wrangler.

I was surprised by just how solid and heavy it was made. Just what I needed to move my Bobcat UTV hitch back to I can use it as my yard dog to shift my trailers around and not worry about the plastic tailgate nor the plastic bed getting damaged. The hitch sits under the bed and this extends it out so it is useable.

Works as advertised. I use it full time. I painted the step surface with Herculon bed liner for a rubberized non slip surface, that works even when covered with frost or mud. Only down side, is that it reduces the tongue weight of the truck hitch by 50%. I typically use it to haul a 2 horse trailer. If it ever gets damaged, I will immediately by a replacement.

Affordable front step (wide platform) to service lifted vechicles and will provide distance between exterior mounted spare tire and hitch rack. Suggestion: design the step to fold up or down for a full time install.

Very nice, heavy duty extension.

It works great,by moving the trailer back from the vehicle you can load longer items,so there are not hanging over the back of the trailer. It also helps in the backing of the trailer. Thank You

Who do I contact about getting the right extension bar? The one I ordered Is a 2 1/2 inch which I need a 2 inch to slide into my receiver or if you guys have a 10 to 12 inch, 2 inch extension so I can connect it I sent a photo of the end that is 2 1/2 which I need it to be 2 inches to slide into my receiver

Received the product on time and as described however two days later I found it on Amazon for $167 vs the $XXX I paid from etrailer. When I called to see about a price adjustment - they couldn’t assist and offered return and re-purchase from Amazon - minus a $XX return shipping. Lesson learned.

Received my 18" extender for my 2" receiver in 3 days. It's going to work perfectly, enabling me to haul bikes with the Thule spare me bike rack at the same time as cargo on a luggage rack at the end of the 18" extender on my Jeep Wrangler. Product is super heavy, therefore, super durable.

I got this hitch extender to put on my camper so that I could mount my bike rack. It worked like a charm!! The bike rack and bike were super solid on the trip cross country!!

Perfect fit to extend hitch from under spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler.

This tow bar extension is a quality built product.. Very helpful backing a trailer.

Definitely a quality product. Just installed and it's very solid. Fits perfectly on the Torque Lift Hitch

Torklift SuperTruss does not disappoint. Straight forward install, though the manual photos are extremely dark. Use the Torklift YouTube install video if needed. The 48” extension gives me the needed length beyond the TC I was looking for while still allowing 1,200 tongue and 12k overall towing capacity.

I need an 8 inch drop between my Itasca motorhome and the Jeep Wrangler I tow behind it. Had a basic Roadmaster drop hitch before I added a bike carrier. Daisy-chained a dual hitch adapter in and was ok going to Florida from New England and back last winter with the two adapters in line together. But heading to Alaska this summer and wasn't comfortable with the extra points of failure. This Roadmaster hitch gives me the drop I need for towing and the second reciever for the bike rack in a single safe package. And kudos to eTraileelr for the very fast shipping. We leave for the great north tomorrow!! .

The Hitch adapter works great. It lined up perfectly with my Jeep Wrangler w/ 4 inch lift. I’ve used it on my Winnebago mainly for long trips and it is a beast! Tows the Jeep easily.

I think it is a great product but expensive. In retrospect I could not do what I wanted with the truck and hitch so I spent the money needlessly. Not any fault of your company. I would have been just as well to leave the stock OEM and not spent the money anyway. Live and learn.

The larger of two packages arrived with the actual smaller Torqlift box inside. All expected parts were delivered. The upper tube fit fine. The lower tube was very tight. I first removed some of the paint near the end of the tub with little success. I have the 20k Original Torqlift hitch. I decided to file the inside of the lower receiver and this smoothed out the problem. Then I found that the two stabilizing chains were four links two long for my application. I cut them shorter and PERFECTION! I provided the detail as realistic, but minor issues happened. As shown in the photo, the 36" extension looks very solid and I'm perfectly satisfied.

I had to remove burrs from the inside of the tube, both at the holes drilled (for hitch pin) and the end where the ball hitch goes in. The welded boss on the end of the tube had burs left over from the cutoff operation. The ball hitch would only slide in a couple of inches prior to deburring it. Also the packaging was not very good, see pictures. No damage to the product but I am surprised it even stayed in the box during the trip here, it was completely loose in the box and tore it apart during transport.

The product is good the packaging for shipping needs improvement. The box came ripped in half and only the tape on the bottom of the box was holding the box together. The plastic cap for the one end was broken and unusable. The other end had a dent in the metal that had to be filled down to be able to insert it into the receiver. The bracket for the plug extension to mount into the hitch extension was bent together so it had to be bent back straight. This was to be able to insert the plug and line up the 4 holes to be able to mount the receiver plug to the extension.

The items I ordered will allow me to adapt my utility trailer for transporting my sea kayaks. Curt and Hopkins are both quality manufacturers. On a shipping note, the box arrived at the Post Office broken wide open. Your shipping folks need to wrap small, heavy, items in bubble wrap. Then stabilize it with foam peanuts. Just putting it in a box then stuffing the box with craft paper does not cut it. Items were not damaged so I am good to go.

Great product, easy assemble and install, nice finish, works as well as anticipated. Delivery time was good and the tracking very accurate. I used the bike rack on my Jeep Wrangler X because the rack I had that attached to the spare was to heavy for the door when I mounted two bicycles on it. Thanks K

Loved it, worked perfect with my 95 Jepp Wrangler. I am considering about ordering from etrailer in the near future.

Works great at a scooter carrier and the anti-wobble device stops all rattle. Very good ordering and delivery experience.

Used the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver to have a bike rack with two bikes on the upper Receiver and a 21' bassboat on the lower Receiver. Ran down to Florida Everglades, Florida Keys and back home. Almost exactly 4,000 miles. Hitch worked perfectly. I did find that you can not "jacknife" the boat as much or the bow of the boat will touch the bikes on the rack but that is to be expected. Hitch was quiet, strong and exceeded my expectations. Easy to install and looking forward to using it again in a month for another 4,000 mile road trip. Note: I drive fast and the roads are not always perfect. This is a sturdy Hitch Receiver. Hope this review helps you. Sorry, crummy photo as the Receiver is a "set it and forget it" product. Be well.

Order was easy and website was amazing. I love the different options and how they want to make sure you get what you really need

This Brophy Hitch Extender with Step worked GREAT! Allowed me to keep the tailgate on on truck down so I could load my ATV into the truck bed and still tow the trailer with stabilizer bars without banging into the trailer jack.

Everything I expected. Great service!!
