There is literally a picture with a T55 inserted on this site. What else do you need?
Which is why I said I’m confused now,Oh man, this is all my fault, I had a pile of bolts at the time I took that picture and the T-55 one is from the tailgate. Looks like they are indeed a different size.
I’m just accounting for my experience. I don’t even have T55 torx head in my toolbox, max was T50, the T50 won’t even fit with paint on it and will strip the bolt if you just wrench it. I had to hammer it in hard and it fits snug, no movement whatsoever, which is what made think it should be a T50 bolt, sure it could be a T55, but I had no issues removing it with a T50 torx socket.
P.S Your part number posted also reference to the painted hood hinge bolt. I’m just curious why Jeep decided to use different torx bolts at various locations. If they are using T55 to account for the paint thickness, they could very well be designed to still be taken out with T50 while still retaining the paint on it. Who knows.
