Title: Rear Spare wheel carrier
Post by: keeko on June 05, 2006, 11:27:07 PM
I`ve been offered a rear wheel carrier off a `94 XJ. Will it fit my 99 XJ ?(later shape).  :)

Bear in mind I am stunned when it comes to mechanical stuff so if it requires a lot of fiddling and fettling would someone tell me? :oops:

No, they don't fit, cos the bumpers are different.

Not sure if you could do it if you swapped to the earlier bumper though.  Worth a thought.  I know KD has got an early style bumper.

No Chris , that`ll do me,good man. The spare can stay in the back. I`m poaching the transfer case skid plate and the sump guard from the older truck for peanuts, just thought I`d chance my luck with the carrier.

They don't come up very often.  Might be worth seeing how much they want for it.  You shouldn't have any problems selling it on. :wink:
