Not expecting to get a hit off this section, but I figured someone might have a Bronco they're parting or know someone doing so. I also don't want to register at a Bronco forum and get the needed posts to post in For Sale lol.

Anyway, this is what I'm looking for:


I'll be checking my local junkyards when I can, and maybe even browsing CL and such.



Cheers

WOW thats a great Idea! Have you done this, or seen it done? Is there a write up on the forum on how to do this?

there might be one at the junkyard in waukegan IL at auto parts city. talk to Alsxj here goes to the yards quite a bit. if i was back home i would go check for you

I have a Bronco II w/carrier and an extra carrier - great idea for my Jeep! Thanks!

I like the idea, I'm going to scan the yards down in NW Indiana where I work. Maybe, I can find a couple.

How would you mount it? Isn't the quarter panel just sheet metal? I would like to do this to but have no welder.

XJ-92

you could put a thicker piece of metal on the otherside of the sheet metal to sandwhich it and make it stronger

How would you go about doing that if you can't weld?

XJ-92

no need to weld it. take the tail light off and u have access to the inner side of the panel. drill your holes for the mounts. drill holes in the steel plate. put steel plate on inside and put the bolts thru it and tighten down. think of it like how the rear hitch is held on but with another piece of thicker metal under the nut strips

PM sent to OP.

If other could PM me a offer I might could get more depends on availability,cost,my labor & gas-the yard is 1 hour away.

So I might be buying a carrier. I'm wondering what additional work I'll need to do to add this. I can't tell from the pic, but do I need to reinforce at all? It'll be holding a 33x12.5.

I don't think so.It seems a little beefier than the factory XJ carrier & I know people put 31's on 'em.My concern would be re-inforcing the area where you bolt the carrier to the body.I would use a piece that is more than enought so you never worry about it pulling thru.

Even if you don't use it as a tire carrier a little cutting and you'll have yourself a tube door.
