I found a rear tire carrier at the LKQ yard on Northville Rd in Houston, TX. Got just about everything off but pieces from the bumper. Ran out of time. Anyway, it is still there in the back of a white 88 XJ. The XJ is towards the front left-hand side of the trucks in the early model section. I accidentally took one of the pieces so if you pull it pm me and I could arrange to give you the piece I have. Here is the pic of tire carrier.

I want. Badly. Too bad Houston is a bit of a drive.

Just curious, do you need the 96-down bumper caps to run this on a 97+?

I've got an OEM style carrier, it mounts directly to the bumper(97+ would need mounting holes drilled). The only thing it needs is the locking piece that mounts to the hatch.

This set up had the locking plate on the rear bumper and that is what I struggled with. I could not remove the locking plate from the bumper because the torque heads stripped on me and I did not have a cutting tool.

I might give it another shot tomorrow.

If anyone pulls it, pm me and I will get you the piece I have.

Id take it if it could handle a 32" tire but I have been told by many it cant handle the weight :/
