Looking to buy a factory spare tire carrier for an XJ. Already have a majority of the parts, just missing some brackets etc. so I'm not sure about placement or mounting. Makes things a little difficult to line up.

If anyone has mounting brackets or even a full tire carrier, looking to buy.

If anyone can even just give measurements of the brackets so I can try and fab something up, I have AutoCAD.

Brackets needed are:

Latch/Striker brackets (have the striker one, need the supports)
Lower hinge support/bracket/mount
Upper hinge inner mount/brackets

Thanks guys!

If anyone happens to have just a tire carrier bumper looking to get rid of, hit me up.

I'm in the middle of installing a rack I pulled off of an '89 Pioneer. It is the "1st gen" oem tire carrier that mounts to the quarter panel/bumper and tailgate. I took every part except the bracket riveted/welded into the quarter panel above the passenger taillight. I also took some photos of the truck to help me as I wasn't going to use the bumper (its bent) but felt unbending the corner was easier then drilling into a new bumper.

I ended up actually finding all the brackets I needed off a junkyard Cherokee. I was amazed they had it because the junkyards around my area don't have a lot. I'm in the process now of reinforcing and installing. I got the bracket behind the quarter panel. Total of 3 rivets holding it on. Going to have to plate it and bolt it on for sure, plus I'm using upgraded hardware.

I'm not great at taking pictures, but I'll see if I can get a few up
