I would LOVE to get my spare out of the back of the Cherokee, but most of the mounts I've seen require a new bumper as well.

Then I saw this guy this morning...



Anyone know who makes this mount? Looks perfect for what I want.

 

A better question is what kind if paint job is that O.o. But I believe that is the tire carrier that came stock with a few XJ's. search the JY.

 

That would be a WV rattlecan job, with masking. LOL

 

It's stock and barely holds a 31.

 

Yup. It's stock.

They also made a different on that mounted to the bumper and quarter panel just below the side window and latched to the center of the bumper.

I actually have one of those if you'd like to purchase it with all the necessary hardware to install it.

 

It looks just like this one but not rusty.

 

Yeah its stock/dealer add on and not really worth having with anything over stock size wheels.

 

Well, I don't plan on getting anything larger than 30s, would they work for that?

And what are my options? I really don't want to shell out a bunch for a bumper just so I can spend ANOTHER bunch on a spare tire mount. Are there any aftermarket mounts that don't require a whole new bumper?

 

Mine is still on, holding a 34 inch super swamper LTB. I just spent the last year wheeling in the Rockies in Colorado. Still can't believe the wife talked me into moving to Kansas city.

 

You can get hitch mount carriers pretty cheap.

 

I wanted one of these for a while until I saw one in person. They look good in pictures but I don't think they look as good as a swing out mounted to a bumper.

 

405 plus shipping http://www.detoursusa.com/tailbone.php bumper with tire carrier 655 http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/cart/xj...h-style-p-686/ or nates 4x4 can be cheaper depending how you want it http://www.nates4x4.com/ProductDetai...ctCode=XJR_EXT

 

Also, your gas prices are outrageous.

 

held my 32 and 33 spare just fine. it can handle a fair amount of weight. i made new bushings for the swing on the lathe and it worked great.
seems like a lot of people prefer the other style, but either way, i got really tired of not seeing much through the back window, so i tossed it all in the scrap bin.

 

I'd kill for those prices. Not even joking..I'm done with this $4.03 a gallon bs
