Just what the ad says: the interior tire carrier from my '78 Cherokee. My rig has the Valley rear aux fuel tank, so they probably installed this back in '79 when the tank was added.

You've got to drill 4 holes to mount this. All hardware there (lug nuts are kicking around somewhere in my garage), but the tire cover stays with me (makes a perfect trailer winch cover).

Here's the stock spare as I bought the vehicle.

Here's with a 31x10.50R15 on an aftermarket wheel (4.75-inch backspacing as I recall).

And a couple of the carrier itself.

There's a piece of reinforcement angle iron that somebody hacked up that mounts on the inside of the upper mount 'cause the body eventually cracked. Then, I built an additional reinforcement for the upper (plate with rounded edges) to hide the crack in the body and stiffen it a bit more.

$50, which I think is fair since I've seen these going for $100 or so. Email me at christian.hazel@gmail.com for faster reply since I don't log on multiple times a day here and probably won't get your PM for a day or two.

Bump and price drop to FREE - but local pick up only, please. It's really bulky and has some sharp edges that'd make it a total pain to ship.

Just want it out of my garage.

Also have a '78 trailer wiring solenoid arrangement I took off for free if anybody wants that. No clue if it works or not - was disconnected & bypassed when I bought the Jeep.

Actually, yeah. My office is in El Segundo: 831 S. Douglas St.

I've got meetings up there on 3/27-3/28, so if you'd like to swing by I can bring it up there. I probably can't meet you during the day (all-day converences 8:00-5:30), but I can leave it somewhere you can pick it up.

Email me at christian.hazel@gmail.com to finalize if you can come by.

If j10jim dosen't take it I would pay for shipping/packaging if you would be willing to send it to me in MO. Or I could trade parts off of this if you need anything: http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=153071
