That's a nice way to do it, man! Cool rig! My '93 XJ 2-door just got new bumpers with a rear tire carrier. I didn't have a trailer receiver, and I also needed recovery points. Keep building it and never sell it!
For what these tire carriers cost, you could just buy a rear bumper with the tire carrier already attached. And have a rear bumper that will actually protect you in a crash.
Very nice video! I have a question... what size lift, tires and backspacing do you have? that's the look I'm going for on my current XJ and would love to know! Thanks!
It was only a 2.5” lift, and just steely wheels. I believe they were 10.5 wide tires. I wanted to keep it relatively stock looking, with a little bit of an aggressive look.
Very nice, Was wondering what caused you to choose this one over the several choices available? The original carrier is pretty cool too . . . But yes, I get that it is not very practical. I am running 31" tires as well. Any bigger just causes too many problems. Oh, and what was your final solution on the "anti floppy" thing? Did you use the amazon thing?
@@chasekinter4807 Great! Yes, me too. I appreciate thelines of the XJs. The big "rockcrawler" bumpers just don't look right, and never really fit up right either.
Yall are over thinking it way too much. Get a nice drill bit, drill out the back-plate on the hitch big enough to fit the socket to the bolt on the wedge-bingo.
@@chasekinter4807 I see that. We all started somewhere keep plugging away. Do yourself a favor and don't skimp on tools. armorairbrush.com.....my shop. Check in if you need help.
I don't get it on a jeep honestly. For $1600 you can buy a rear bumper and tire carrier from almost any company... and then you have a rear bumper + tire carrier and a better departure angle.

True, but I wanted to keep the stock look with the original bumper. I don’t do any crazy off-roading, so the protection was not a concern for me.
@@chasekinter4807 stock looks great, Im just trippin on the cost of the carrier.

@@chasekinter4807 That's exactly what I'm going for as well. Do you happen to know the backspacing?Thanks for replying!
Right on! I have not a clue!
Nice xj what tire size you have
Thanks! 31”
@@chasekinter4807 Perfect. Any bigger just takes thefun and drivability away. Thanks for the video. I fell asleep. But, caught the end . ..
@@99jeepxjguy97 I agree about tires. In 99% I go with 31s where a friend with 35s goes and I have a lots of fun.
Very nice tire carrier, where’d you find that
Rigd supply company online! Very nice…
What was the name of the old carrier
I’m into your OG tire carrier. Any details on it?
How about some eye protection when grinding?
Nah, just send it... right to the eye doctor.
I need the hitch available and strong.
Nice mod!
Dude do you have any website for the old carrier?
We’re did you get the roof rack
JCR roof rack! Love that thing!
It's not on their website anymore

Keeping the stock look was important to me, and I liked the design of this carrier. I’m pretty happy with it!

Phenomenal idea. Thanks for watching!
@@chasekinter4807 that's just easiest, no?
where did you get that hitch tire carrier?
The first one I got from Craigslist, and it’s for sale right now for $200.00.
The one I installed was from Rigd Supply’s website.
not the new one but the old one
Yeah, not sure where it came from originally… Bought it used from a guy on Craigslist.
Hey! I trust God too!😊
Can someone send me this link to thid
hey where to buy it ??
R16 ?
Dude a cut off wheel on a grinder and a speed square. Cut off 1/2 inch off the carrier. Cmon man. Get it done. Don't make a project out of it.
Hindsight is 20/20! I’m not a mechanic - learning as I go! Thanks for watching.

I wanted practicality and stock looks... Good thing they make all sorts of different things for different folks, right?
Sooo how about sending me the old carrier???
DM me on Instagram (my name) and we’ll work something out!
