Swing-away tire carriers?

[bruner1981jpce]

So I've got the mounts for one of the valley industries tire carriers on the back of my cherokee, but don't have the carrier. Has anyone found some other carrier that they could get to work with the mounts for the valley carrier, with or without mods?

ive got one of those valley tire carriers but i think im going to bulid a bumper with a swing out carrier because i dont want to drill into my body and risk bending the sheet metal. its basicly just a tube i bet yuo could bend some tube and weld tabs and such. and the mounts are just peices of plate steel right?

$175!!!!

And no backing plates. :-(

Since you already have the mounting brackets, the hard part is done for you. Now you just need to fabricate the swingout arm and latch.

Sorry,
I didn't know it was bad. It's not mine.

I just took a whole assy. to the scrap yard. I don't like what i did to the body of my Cherokee

The previous owner had one on my 74 cherokee before I got it and severely cracked the tailgate and lower bumper filler metal.

I would suggest getting a bumper mount setup to save your body. Tailgates are getting harder to find these days.
