Tire carrier

We took it into a fabricator shop and he said the only way for it to work would be to do a bunch of strengthening where it would mount on the body and bumper. Too costly. So we sold it to someone who thought they were gonna make it work. Hope this helps!

Has anyone tried to install these older swing tire carriers on a 2000 or similar model XJ?

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

if you ever come across another one or know someone that has one let me know

This is what I had planned

This is what I had planned to do with my 2000 XJ with a 6.5” lift and 33’s. Can you give me any details of your design? I have access to the metal and welder as well as the ability to do the work myself. I just need some tips on the design.
