Not yet, but it is a factory jeep tire carrier for a xj. I just transferred the mounting sections from the crappy bumper it came with to my orignal bumper.

I always love hearing about peep. And I love that you don't check for leaks; you check the rates of the leaks. So true

Used a big*** C-clamp to bend my lower (driver's side) door hinge back into place. Now my door closes with a single finger and no longer rubs on the trailing edge of the fender. I also put disconnects for the speaker inside the rubber accordion so I don't have to pull the door panel every time I want to remove the door.

Yea i installed one a couple weeks ago, it was a perfect snug fit from the bumper cap to the quarter panel. I'm just worried for you that the quarter panel mount won't work now that you moved the bumper mount over.

I found out I could do an add a leaf without completely removing rear leaf springs. To be honest I tried to get them out first, then tried with them still bolted in just drop the rear axle and a couple of c- clamps and it was done!
