You will need to find out the towing capacity of your 2004 Jeep Wrangler and make sure the trailer you will be towing will be under the towing capacity of your Wrangler.

Make sure the hitch you are using on your Wrangler will have enough towing capacity for towing your trailer. Remember that you are limited by the lowest-capacity product in your towing system, whether it is the hitch, ball mount or ball. Make sure that these components have the same capacity or higher as your hitch.

I am including links to a FAQ page on trailer towing tips and on what is needed to tow a trailer. Also, a video link to a hitch being installed on a 2004 Jeep Wrangler.
