Reviews for Mopar 82215209 Receiver Hitch Kit for 18-24 Jeep Wrangler JL
Ease of installation.
I would have given it a 5 star but not only did the instructions suck they are not even in English. Installed it on a 2021 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. You do NOT have to remove the bumper to install hitch.
Fits great on the JL Sahara unlimited with plastic rear bumper.
As some have said, you do not need to remove the bumper, just remove the two big 18mm screws in the center of the chassi where the hitch would normally go, then remove the two small screws from the bottom of the center plate/bracket attached to the lower bumper to loosen it up, bend the bracket upward a bit to expose the holes for the hitch receiver with the welded bolts to slide into the plate center holes. Once in place, only use the 4 included long bolts with some lock tight and make sure you torque tighten them to specs so they don't get loosened. I gave it4 stars because the included instructions are useless.
Yes you have to remove your back bumper but it's only like 10 bolts. Start to finish it took me only 40 minutes to install and looks great.
The hitch it’s nice and solid. The instructions are not in English. It’s is not a simple bolt on you need to remove the back plate on the outside of the bumper so u need to take the bumper apart to install. Much more difficult than installing one on a Jk. Also for the price it does not come with a wireing harness. That’s another 250
