TYGER Towing Combo: 2inch Receiver Hitch & Wiring Harness & Hitch Cover Fits 2007-2018 Wrangler JK 2Dr & 4Dr (Exclude 2018 JL Models)

The hitch seems well made. The price was best on the internet. The installation was pretty easy. The instructions said you have to remove your rear tow hook. Disregard that. You don't. I really can't envision any scenario where removing the tow hook would make the install easier. It is no where near where the hitch is attached. That part of the instruction might be necessary if you buy a heavier hitch that bolts to the frame rails. The online video shows installation with the rear plastic bumper wrap removed. Disregard that as well. You can leave it on. There is just enough room between the plastic bumper wrap and the actual metal bumper to get the washers on and the nuts started if you take your time and use some needle nosed pliers, tweezers, or forceps to assist you in getting the washers on and the nuts started. It looks impossible, but it isn't. I did drop them several times, but was working on a surface that made them easy to find. Had I been in grass or gravel I might have had to spend some time looking for dropped hardware. At one point It did need an extra little bit of gap between the plastic and the metal. I wedged a socket in between which spread the gap maybe 1/8", which was all I needed. An open end wrench easily fits in for the final tightening. I only need that because I had a GearWrench under the Jeep with me and I was too lazy to crawl out and get a static box end wrench. My GearWrench on the open end side is straight on and would line up right, until I wedged the bumper cover back a tiny bit. Another thing in the instructions to disregard is that they show the bolts going from back of Jeep to front. Do it the other way, insert from front of bumper - you can angle down over the muffler and get them in. One YouTube video, which was very helpful, showed working the rubber muffler hangers off their hooks and letting the muffler drop down. That would give you a little better angle to get the bolts into place, but again - it isn't necessary and really is just an invitation for getting an exhaust leak or rattle that you didn't have before. Getting the washers on and nuts started is the only challenging thing about this install and the challenge is patience rather than strength or knowledge. All in all it is a 20 minute job. The wiring takes another 10 minutes and it is very easy. The instructions for that are pretty good. There is a foam pad in bottom of the tail light housing. You can take that out, run you wiring, and then put it back in. I didn't take any pictures. Sorry about that. Just look everything over before you start. Try the installation with everything in place as I suggested. If that doesn't work for you, then consider removing the plastic bumper cover. I didn't really even look at what that entails, Who knows, maybe that wouldn't be difficult. If that plastic cover was off, this would be a 5 minute or less install, four bolts, washers, and nuts.

Took 20 minutes to install. Wiring is plug n play. Solid hitch. 4 pin plug mounts snug on the hitch. All looks factory after install. Great buy.

This cannot be installed with the OEM rear bumper of Wrangler 2013, be aware! I tried but the rear plate thing come on its way... The hitch is sturdy enough, but i am thinking what kind of modificafion now i need to do....

Easy to install.
