Hey Jose! We have a universal option that will work great for the 1983 Jeep Wagoneer but there are no more custom fit hitches. Draw-Tite made one many years ago but it is obsolete and no longer available.
The best option for you is to use the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13701. This hitch can be welded or bolted to your Jeep's frame. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight.

Hey Jose, how did the Curt adjustable hitch work out on your Jeep Wagoneer? It’d be great to hear how the fit and towing performance turned out. Your update could make it easier for others with older Jeeps to find the right setup.
