I ran into this situation this past weekend. I had to heave my spare tire (35) on top of the Jeep. Not fun. This is perfect for when the family wants to go wheelin. You can remove the tire & carrier & leave it at camp.

Ooo that doesn't sound fun. Even though mine is a little ol 235, it takes up space inside that I would like to use for storage as seen on this forum. That's why I figured a hitch mounted carrier would work well but stompers looks really good and out of the way
I really like the design and that it is off center. Could you post a pic of how it mounts close up? Is it just the 2 bolts holding it in? Could the d rings be used or more for looks? I am interested so please let me know a price.
2 bolts on each mount "leg" - 4 total. The d-rings are just welded to the face of the 3/16" wall tubing...I don't know that I'd want to use them for a hard extraction, but would use them for a "tow" kind of pull...if you understand what I'm meaning.
Here is something I made and that's a 35" mounted in there. In the pictures it's not finished but gives you an idea. I cut about 3"s out of the receiver tube it sits closer to the bumper now. Still working on relocating the license plate.
89limited Hreo, The link I posted was the page your carrier was on. It was the easiest way to share what you did.
I have wheeled with someone who actually had a bolt on auxiliary hitch mounted on his receiver hitch about 5"s to the left of the hitch itself. allowing him to still be able to tow a trailer. I would think it would not be to hard to but this https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Acces.../Curt/E-9.html
and weld it onto a receiver hitch to do the same thing.
You could always get your hands on a factory tire carrier and brace it which is what I did, but they ain't too easy to find nowadays. Mine holds a 33x12.5 just fine, even swung out.

For a 235 that maybe the easiest option. I got my factory carrier from a parted out 87. If you decide to do this, get all the interior and under body braces (3) and the tag relocation stuff as well. Don't forget the blank plate that fills in the old center tag light.
Finding a factory tire carrier is difficult & useless to some of us.
Well sorry I guess none of guys that drive stock XJs should have any input on the site about sick of it. Why don't you go back on the modified for him and tell everyone how small their ***** is

Does this picture **** you off less? My intent was to show you my bumper wasn't factory & even if it was the swing type carrier wouldn't work with the cage.

The pissed part was the term "useless" the OP doesn't have your bumper and runs 235s. I don't go on long arm or supercharger threads and say how useless they are to some of us that's all. It's all good.
