HOrnbrod Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 These factory spare tire safety bars were offered for one year only (1986). It will fit MJ LWB trucks with the stock size spare tire. The slotted holes for the J-bolts are already in the frame, so it's a pure PnP factory bolt-on piece. Might work with SWB trucks but :dunno: . I wanted it but it won't work with my 31" spare......

Minuit Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That seems like a good idea considering that the cables snap sometimes. I wonder why they quit offering it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 It is a good idea. Probably quit making it because the stock tire size increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That'd be pretty easy to duplicate with some threaded J-hooks and a length of C-channel steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I moved it to tech if anyone is interested in duplicate it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That would be fun to fiddle with at 3AM on your back in the mud. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That would be fun to fiddle with at 3AM on your back in the mud. :shake: Yes, you are right. BUT it is more fun when you discover the cable has broken and your spare fell off somewhere down the road and it is just not there. Fortunately for me, my winch cable broke while the truck was parked in front of my garage. I discovered the spare just sitting there when I got back home form a quick trip to Costco.

HOrnbrod Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 You could have routed your pipes so you could still fit the spare underneath...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 After the body work, paint, bed liner, tonneau cover..........spare in the back. The only thing my truck will ever haul again, is @$$. :P Now that I think of it, there has never been a spare there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87MJTIM Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The 86 in the JY here locally still has the spare up under the bed. Are those hooks only for 86? Was this a transition year? Would it be worth getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 It will not fit a SWB, the keyhole slots are covered and in the wrong location, you would have to drill new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
