MJ'87 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 hi guys, i havent been on here in a while but i just thought of something kind of cool :idea: so i was browsing through the newest 4WD catalog and came to the bumper section. what does everyone think about putting a swinging tire carrier from an XJ on the MJ? just throwing around the idea for now. gotta finish a vintage bike resto first. my template would be the WARN tire carrier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It would be kinda neat, but in my opinion the trucks are already too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I've thought about it, and it wouldn't be that bad length-wise since the tire wouldn't stick out that much further than the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroader461 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 not that new of an idea...Protofab 4x4 already makes one for the comanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ya, i saw one floating around here somewhere, it is hard to decide on. i like it, and you lose no bed space w/ the spare. i couldn't decide how i liked the appearance. i'd have to see one in person.

Pete M Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 ya, but i see no other option of not losing space in the bed, i'm thinking of a roof rack design for the mj, anyone got any thoughts on that. My thoughts: wind resistance and higher center of gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
