Default Spare Tire Rack?

I would like to see some pictures of the OEM spare tire rack,
The one that mounts to the rear of the XJ and swings out.
I've been looking for one for a few years now with no luck.
So maybe with some good pictures I can build one.

I've had a few of them, find them at pick n pull for under $20, had a 35 on one with no problems. Been looking for another one.

I have one on my 88 but I have bent the lower tube now it's hard to open and close and the tire rattles on the back it's a 31 tire on it. I like it but it's thin tube.

sandblaster87 thats the one I'm looking for thanks that helps a bunch.

I did try google and actually did find some but the detail on sandblasters is 100% better than the ones I found images of.
So he hunt continues... Getting that angle right on the brackets would be tough.

I've got one on my '93 and I love it! The extra weight on the back end seems to help road manners. Now I just gotta load the front down a little and it'll be even better
