Bought a $550 rear bumper and tire carrier from my buddy for $200. Then we realized three of the old bolts were broken off and rusted in their holes, there was some rust on the bottom from scratched powdercoat, and one of the mounting tabs was mangled.
I made him (he volunteered to) make and weld on a new bracket, drill out the bolts, and grind/prime/paint the rust spots. I went and got new grade 8 hardware while he did that, and we got it installed well after dusk.
To do tomorrow:
Torque mounting bolts
Trim rubber stoppers to fit behind it
Relocate license plate
Mount/balance/install spare tire
Grease spindle and latch pin
Cap the vertical 2x2 opening
We'll see how much gets done. No pics yet cause it's dark outside, and the project remains unfinished.

I'll trade you tomorrow. You show us that hood, and I show y'all the tire carrier.

Well I rolled my Cherokee, and I drove a Comanche for a while. I just got this a few months ago to try something different. Admittedly, I miss XJs. They each have their benefits.
