ok, my jeeps got the mounts for the full size spare. i have the piece that bolts to the floor, and the tab that sticks through the plastic on the wall. i just picked up a full size spare with matching rim to what i have already. my question is, what does the hardware look like to hold the spare in? i have no clue and i would like to know what im looking for at the bone yard. thanks again guys!

 

if youre talking about the one that is in the hatch, its a little plastic almost wingnut type thing. looks almost like this in shape: <o>

 

is it atached to a j hook or something? and does the metal bit at the bottom do anything?

 

There's the hook, a round plastic piece that fits into the area where the center cap goes and a plastic wingnut. And if you are lucky enough to find one, a plastic cap that fits over the end of the threaded rod.

 

it just holds the tire up higher and more secure so all the weight isn't on the bolt and wing nut.

 

rock on! thanks tons guys! now i just gotta find the parts.
