Rear tire carrier
I have my spare tire mounted on my roof which looks cool and all but i have found out that i can no longer fit into most parking ramps. I have also noticed that my gas milege has decreased a little bit because of my increase in air displacement. I'v looked at brands like Warren, Garvin, Rock Hard and such but thier prices are so unbelievibly high. I was thinkin about just making one but i know i would never get it to look good enough. I also looked at Cherokee Stage 3 which runs me about $650 but doesnt come painted black because of shipping or some b.s. like that. Does anyone here have one that they wanna let me keep...just kidding. But really do you fellow jeepers know of any slick deals or know of a steal bumper and bolt on tire carrier combo? Thank you for reading this rediculously long post...

Detours makes one but it may be a bumper/tire carrier combo.
They do make some very strong stuff.

That one 76 is refering you to is a very strong one too. It needs to be tightened occasionally but you can also weld it where it is bolted too. Excellent price too.

No the OEM bumper is too thin and weak to support the weight of a wheel and tire.
