Overview:

The Kentrol Polished Silver Tailgate Hinge Pair is a premium replacement part designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler TJ models from 1997 to 2006, including the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited LJ from 2004 to 2006. Over time, the factory tailgate hinges on these vehicles are prone to corrosion and wear due to constant exposure to the elements and frequent use. When these hinges fail, the tailgate loses proper support, risking damage to the rear body and surrounding components.

Kentrol’s expertly engineered hinges restore the structural integrity of your Jeep’s tailgate with a perfect fit and durable construction. Featuring a polished stainless steel finish, these hinges not only provide superior corrosion resistance but also add a sleek, high-quality appearance to your vehicle’s rear. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this pair offers Jeep owners a reliable and long-lasting solution to worn or broken tailgate hinges.

Construction & Design:

Each hinge is crafted from high-grade T-304 stainless steel, known for its excellent strength and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Kentrol’s engineering team has ensured that these hinges meet or exceed OEM specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and smooth operation.

The robust construction withstands the rigors of off-road adventures and daily driving alike, maintaining tailgate alignment and support even under heavy use. The design also accounts for the unique mounting points and dimensions of the TJ and LJ models, ensuring seamless integration without modification.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward with the included hardware, allowing for a direct bolt-on replacement of your factory tailgate hinges. No welding or special tools are required, making this an ideal upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
