I'm fixing to remove mine... That's an older pic of the jeep sitting at 3.5 inches with 32's. It's a couple inches higher now and I'm going to 35's so it'll be useless.

Not sure how I got 2 pics but both tire carriers are factory. I got this one off a 84 cherokee chief xj. I got one like highrollers of a 91 two door. Grab the whole thing, bumper included. I am runn ing 34x10.50 swampers on mine. Not sure why Highrollers will be useless with 35s?

I am running around the mountains of colorado and have not had any trouble yet.YET being the key word. The bumper mount is ok but I do worry about the attachment on the fiberglass hatch.

Yea the hatch is my main concern.... A 35 x 12.50 on a steel wheel is heavy. I plan to switch over to a tailbone http://www.detoursusa.com/tailbone.php soon.

tmj91 I really like your Jeep! Nice find on the carrier.
I think it has been settled already but I believe both styles of the tire carrier were factory, just from different times.
