Spare Tire carrier kit?
Hey guys. Anyone know if anyone sells a weld-it-yourself spare tire carrier kit for my '98 XJ with aftermarket rockcrawler bumpers? I need a kit of some kind that can be welded together, and then welded to the bumper. Every option I've seen so far (like modifying a carrier specifically made for certain brands of aftermarket bumpers) are stupid expensive (like 400 bucks and up). I'm looking for a kit that will relocate my 33" spare for around 200 bucks. Anyone know a good option?
Here is my rear bumper setup. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...6bd8a58969.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...dec4ab8fe3.jpg Thanks! Kev |

I'm going to box in the back of the bumper for added strength, only time will tell!

Maybe I'll just go for a roof rack basket, and stick the spare tire up there. The spare tire on the bumper will block my rear spot lights, and I sure do love those things! Especially when some idiot starts tailgating me at night and flashing their high beams. :w00t: And I would also have to relocate my license plate and light.
Any other suggestions for affordable spare tire carriers or DIY kits? Kev |
I bought what looks like the same lights I'm going to flush mount them in the bumper, as far as the license plate I've gotten a few ideas online. Good luck which ever way you go!

I'm in Cactus Forest about 7 miles south of Florence just off 79. I'm out around the Box Canyon area quite a bit also Montana Mtn., Millsite trail...should get together sometime!

Sounds good! I haven't taken "Elizabeth" out on the trail in over a year.
