Registered User | IMO: Stupid mounting of the tire. Completley blocks the rear window and very dangerous. Wouldn't be surprised if the police came after him. |

Round Eyed XJ Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Commerce City, Crawlorado Posts: 518 | I built the tire carrier to the specs the owner wanted. I spoke with him on the tire carrier design and tried to talk him out of it. He already had the tabs on the quarter guards and want this design. I also told him that the tire should be lower on the carrier than what it is and he actually wanted it higher. The design is cool but the functionality has something lacking. He says he does not get in the back much and it would be o.k. I had to design the out mounts for the tire carrier due his design would not work. Because the tabs were mounted on the quarter guards where they ran horizontal to the vehicle the tire carrier would not hinge down. So I went to work and had to machine some pieces to make them pivot out then the tire carrier could fold down. If he would have mounted the tire where it should have been then you could not have angled it back towards the vehicle. If I knew that it still would have had such a gap I would have put a couple of more bends in the carrier so that the tire would match the angle of the rear window. There were a couple of things I would have done extra if I had time, but the Moab trip he is going on is this week. When you build things for others sometimes you just do it their way unless it is not safe. |

that being said most times it has to go that high.this one is mine i mounted it that high so i could run my winch on the rear with the tire still in place. ![]() as for the angle ya i think it wouldn't look so bad if it matched the angle of the rear glass ![]() __________________ One Built XJ | |

Registered User | i thought of an idea like that to for a tire carrier, putting the mounts on the side panel, now that i look at it i'll stick with a swing out bumper..but you can always work out with the tire now. |

Member | Very cool looking, but it looks like the tire would be very hard for one guy to lower/raise. __________________ -2006 LJ- IMPACT ORANGE jeep club #8 LJ owners jeep club #106 New Mexico jeep club #8 www.photobucket.com/sundaysrock |

Registered User | Those are the sweetest tube fenders I've seen on an XJ. Does he have a write-up w/ pics? Are the fronts tubed also? Oh yeah, nice lookin bumper. Just not sure about the swing down. Might be kinda hard to handle the heavy tire when swinging down, unless I'm not understanding how it works. Crap, you beat me, nmxj78. __________________ Red 99 XJ Sport Pure stockness for now . . . until Bill Gates pays me back. |
