Default quick tire carrier question

how hard would it be to swap a swing awayrear tire carrier off of a blazer or bronco 2 onto my jeep? like it bolts on the quarter panel. if i use long enough bolts could i take the trim panel off the inside and slip a bolt in there or what?

It wouldn't just go on, it would require modification and it wouldn't "fit"

You would also need to reinforce the quarter panel so it wouldn't bend or dent in.

Go look for a carrier off an xj, some of them came with it as a factory option. I might even be willing to sell mine if you're really desperate, I don't have the original hardware but that's not really an issue.

You'll need to take measurements and stuff before you pull everything so you can get it to line up properly on your jeep. You'll need to grab the little plate on the bumper and the passenger side end cap, or save the time and just grab the whole bumper. I believe the mount on the quarter panel is reinforced on the inside so you'll have to get creative with the interior trim
