Has anyone thought about modifying the spare tire carrier used on the KJ? I may look into mounting one of those somehow on my WK.

If your talking about putting that on the rear gate there will be issues especially with a 32" MT. A serious amount of reinforcing will have to be done. And you may never get it to quiet either.
Not only would it need a lot of reinforcement... it'd also be a PITA to open/close the rear hatch. The KJ has a swing away door, not a lift gate.
Yeah I know this. Just trying to find a quick way to mount it. It is fairly difficult to mount t on the roof living in Chicago with all these low clearance parking structures.
Theres a few things you can do to fit a fullsize spare in the stock location...
They sell ones that mount to the tow hitch then just tie into the frame rail back there for some support. I've seen a member or two make that setup work.
Here's the How To (that Sal needs to move to the How To section so I can find it faster ;)) for fitting a 265/70/17 in the stock spare location:

^^that's a hell of a lot less work than trying to get a KJ mount to work.
Yeah I've seen those too. I hope to be moving from Chicago soon so it really won't be a problem long. I'll be mounting it on the roof rack then.
Done!Quote:
