Hey guys, I found a stock swing out tire carrier off an 88 XJ, V6, Command-Trac at a local junkyard. What I'm wondering is, if I go and get it will I be able to mount it to my 91 XJ and will it be able to hold the weight of a 33" tire?

Any input helps and is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Nah man you should still grab it though and ship it to me. Ill pay you for your time and effort. it should work fine.

 

I'm gonna grab it for sure, if it doesn't work out the way I want it to, then I'll sell it on here or something haha

 

it should hold fine.

 

X2 thats a rare find man. Hope its still there for ya. Btw grab the whole assembely bumper and all.

 

Its worth it I just scored one at my jy too. Took me over a year to find the thing to

 

Wait I need the whole bumper too?

 

i found a bumper & stock swing out tire carrier assembly for $30 myself, was great since I didnt have a bumper either.

but anyways, I say dont do it
31" tire is the max a oem tire carrier will hold. anything else is too heavy and will just rip off the bumper.

max tire size on stock tire carrier is a 31
biggest you really should go without reinforcements

i added a 4" long and 3" wide 1/4" thick metal plate behind the back of the side wall on the body so the weight is more distributed than just the small 4 bolts on the sheet metal, hopefully it wont rip out my body that way

It should hold, I have a 31" tire and a Hi-lift on mine.

 

31" would be the most I would carry on one of those stock carriers

 

If you do get it I would run it to Dixie 4x4 so they can strengthen your stock bumper so it will hold with that amount of weight.
