Draw-Tite Hitch DT78MR Installation on 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Question:

Will this Hitch fit with the bumper of the 75th anniversary jeep Wrangler Unlimited? Will The bolts and nuts fit without modification or removal of the bumper? Well I be able to put my fingers up between the outer shell of the number to thread the nuts on the bolts? Thank you for your help

Draw-Tite Class III hitch # DT78MR is a confirmed fit on the 2017 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited that have the Mopar off-road bumper 82213654. Of all the hitch options for the vehicle, shown on the linked page, Draw-Tite # DT78MR is the only one that fits your special edition 75th anniversary model.

The hitch includes the necessary mounting hardware and the written instructions are linked for you. Required tools are listed in the instructions. For the Mopar bumper type installation you will first remove the spacer plate located between the vehicle cross member and the Mopar bumper. The spacer plate does not go back on, nor do tow hooks if they are present. This should provide enough room for hardware installation.

Draw-Tite rates this hitch installation as being relatively easy, a 3 out of 10 difficulty level.
