When I bought my Cherokee it was originally dealer equipped with a swing out tire carrier but at some point during its life one of the owners detached the arm from it. Now I've heard its very rare to almost impossible to find the arm itself. Is this true? I have all parts but the arm attached to my Cherokee but the arm. I'd like to track one down so I can continue with the restoration of this jeep any ideas? Maybe even one being made exactly like the OEM carriers that were equipped on these xjs back in the day?

 

theres two versions... one attaches to the body near the cargo area window... one only attaches to the bumper bracket.

 

Most positive its the one that attaches to the bumper bracket cause isn't the the arm curved in almost vertical shape? Plus mines an 87 I thought at that time they only had one kind.

 

Junk yards are going to be your best bet but it may take a while to come across one

 

Yeah hit the junkyard a few members have found them here and there.

 

Look on the NAXJA Forum seems like I saw one for sale there possibly, can't remember where for sure though.
