Would you sell just the tire carrier portion so that I can weld it to a bumper that I already have? If so, what would the price be? Thanks

THESE NOW FIT 97-01 JEEP XJ'S!!!
Here are some I took of the last one I built -
I don't want to cut and fold my quarters so I weld the bottom bar on off of the Jeep.
Also, not pictured is the rear receiver hitch.
The big nut on the tubework is what the tire will be centered to -

With a 12.5 wide tire on there, how close to the hatch would the tire sit? Nice and snug or pretty far away? I really like the looks of the bumper.

Have you thought about angling the tire more? Maybe not having it perpendicular to the ground but more along the slope of the back glass? I feel it would tuck in closer and look smoother.

I just finished "well almost nearly finished" my fold down. The only thing I am finding is that the 35" tire on OEM 17" rims is a bit much to lift up. I thought with the extra leverage lifting the 90 pound tire would be easier, guess I was mistaken. Unfortunately my back has been on the fritz lately making lifting it a bit of a challenge. I need to finish painting the quick release latch, so that should help some of the locking challenges.

Big, but I kind of like it. Have you ever considered doing a swing-a-way version like this with the cage like it is instead of folding down?
