Steinjager Tailgate Hinges (97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ)

Sturdy Hinges. The external tailgate hinges are emblematic of Jeep Wranglers, but they can take a lot of stress. There’s no reason you should battle squeaky or hard-to-open tailgate. This aftermarket replacement from Steinjager will fix any tailgate problems, allowing for smooth opening and closing action.

High-Quality Construction. The hinges are made of durable metal, and they can take a lot of beating. The matte black powder-coat finish is resistant to typical wear and tear. And it offers additional rust protection. Note that these hinges are specifically designed to fit your Wrangler, so you won’t struggle with the installation.

Simple Installation. Start by removing the old hinges; you’ll need a power drill and bits that fit the screws. Keep the tailgate closed while doing that. Put the mounting bolts into the new hinge, position it correctly, and then screw on the bolts. Throughout the installation, the tailgate should be closed. You open it only when all bolts are in place.

Application. These Jeep Wrangler Tailgate Hinges are engineered to fit all Wranglers made from 1997-2006. That includes both two- and four-door models.

Technical Note. Depending on the Wrangler model you have, some light drilling might be necessary. After removing the old hinges, clean the space where they fit. The dirt and debris there might prevent you from securing the hinges. But don’t tighten all the bolts until you position and secure both hinges. Inspect if the tailgate opens and closes without any resistance.

Installation Difficulty. These tailgate hinges take under 30 minutes to install. You’ll need some specialty tools to complete the installation. But this doesn’t mean this part requires professional installation. Overall, this is a medium installation project, and you need basic technical skills.
