Trailer Hitch for a 1977 Jeep Gladiator J10 Pickup Truck
Question:
I have a 1977 Jeep J10 with a 119inch WB that I need a trailer hitch mounted. It has the stock bumper installed which accommodates a ball. Can you recommend a universal hitch?

Expert Reply:
Since there are no custom fit trailer hitches for your 1977 Jeep Gladiator (J10) you will want to look at the selection of weld-on truck hitches such as # 41990-07. You will need to determine the overall width of the Jeep frame from outside to outside and the how much space there is from the bottom of the frame down to clear the lower part of the rear bumper.
It is possible that hitch # 41990-07 will work for you. This hitch fits frames that are up to 44 inches wide. The brackets are 7 inches.
It is also possible that a professional fabricator could make some custom brackets as well. I have included a link to the weld-on hitches we have so you can see the different options.
