Will Draw-Tite 76104 Fit A 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With A Factory Tow Hook

Question:

I just purchased a 2008 Jeep Wrangler X Unlimited. 4x4, 4 door. My Jeep has the factory tow hook welded to the back at the approximate center of the rear of the vehicle. Will part number 87424 work with this configuration. I have previously ordered 3 Draw-Tite brand hitches for my other vehicles and would like to stick with this brand for my Jeep if possible. Thanks

The Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch # DT78MR will fit a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited without the factory tow hook. It will use the four factory holes on the rear crossmember. So the factory tow hook does have to be permanently removed for the hitch to be installed on your vehicle.

All of the hitches I have that fit your vehicle will install the same way, so to put a hitch on your 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you will have to remove the factory tow hook.

I am sending a link to the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite # DT78MR. You can also look at the linked installation video.
