The live hitch path for listed TJ years

CURT 13408 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path that names listed Jeep TJ and Wrangler years from one thousand nine hundred ninety-seven through two thousand six on the live card. That is the TJ generation. Later JK and JL Wrangler years use different stocked cards, so do not cart 13408 for a two thousand seven and newer Wrangler without reading the live title.

CURT 13430 is a second in-stock Class 3 path on the same TJ and Wrangler year window. Open both live cards and pick the one that still lists your exact year and bumper setup. Class 3 hardware suits utility trailers and modest trail toys when the Jeep sticker and the live hitch card both agree. Confirm gross and tongue ratings on the live product card. Your door sticker still sets the ceiling.

For lights, CURT 55363 is a trailer wiring harness that names one thousand nine hundred ninety-eight through two thousand six Jeep TJ and Wrangler on the live card. Confirm that harness still lists your year before you mix lights with the hitch order.

TJ versus later Wrangler

Classic TJ and later Wrangler generations do not share these cards.

  • Open the Wrangler guide for JK and JL years
  • Do not mix later fitment with this sheet

Year pages that already exist

These Jeep TJ year landers are already live. We only link pages that return on this store.

Always confirm the live hitch card still lists your TJ year before you order. Earlier TJ years may fit 13408 on the live title even when a dedicated year lander is not live yet.
