i've thought this also, the only thing is the blazers are built up to support the carier on the inside. They don't jist bolt through the body. If you wanna try and beef up the inside or outside of your rig go for it and put up a how to

 

x2 otherwise you're just gonna have a bent/ warped spot where the carrier bolts. The cherokee tire carrier will hold up to a 31 i think. Although the spare tire carrier on the inside will hold a 31 as well. as long as you dont go any bigger it should hold fine.

 

What Cherokee tire carrier?

 

way back, the 80s ones had tire carriers, as well as some early 90s fleet issue cherokees. here is one mounted on a newer xj


as for the S10 one you posted about, the rear of the late S10s have that curve to them, you'd have to deal with the mounts... old Bronco 2s were box style like the XJ, look for one of those instead...

 

whats the bottom carrier from?

 

How do you mount the xj specific one? Do you know?

 

it connects on the bumper and on the right corner about the headlight on the side. You could google it to get a better picture.

Here it is

 

How much do they run for?

 

no clue, i'd imagine something around 75-100? Or around 15 bucks at a pull a part.

 

I jus Googled it, nothing... :/ disappointment

 

check craigslist. they had one near me around 2~3 months ago for like 25 bucks.

 

Definitely search for an 80s XJ one it may take awhile but there pretty sweet i want one too

 

Really!? damnit...
Ill look for an 80s one hopehully ill find one

 

I posted the bottom pic to show you a Bronco 2 carrier mounted, it is same as one laying in the grass... the other i posted is the fleet issue one, and someone found an 80s one to post up, uses bumper tho
