ok I want to get rid of my spare tire and put a new full size, when I do this it will take up more room in my jeep. I've looked all over the web for ways of putting the tire outside my cherokee but all I've found is people putting it on the roof, which I don't like the safari look. I was wondering if anyone seen a way of attaching it to the back door. I know if I do this I will have to put stronger struts on the door to lift it. Or Have some type of device the swings the tire out like in the hummer. Has anyone seen what I'm talking about, or know how to do this. I know it sounds like monster garage, but I really like that look that the jeep wrangler has. also about the liscense plate. I found a plate mount that is meant to be place on a bumper so I don't have to worry about covering that up. thanxs

hey, that's exactly it. I've looked on that site but keep finding roof racks type. little pricey but I'll start saving up, and should be able to afford it in a month or two. doesn't seem too hard to put on also. thanxs for the help

my buddy has the rear bumper/tire carrier, it was about 8-900.00, but very heavy duty and nice, 4x4 warehouse sells them

When you go to open the rear hatch, does the carrier swing open to the side or drop down ?

it swings from left to right, you can hang on it fully extended that is how tough this thing is, If I had extra $$$ I would get one too!
