1973 cj5 spare tire carrier

[snapper7024]

I'm looking for the factory spare tire carrier for my jeep. Tried to look for a pic of one and i've seen some pics of jeeps with side mounts and some with swing out mount. I would need one with the swing out mount since the tailgate coming down. Does anyone know who might have one or know where to buy one online. Thanks.

If you want factory stock you have to go with the side carrier. Lots of after market options going from expensive to VERY expensive.

My 73 came with a side mount. Swing mounts were popluar upgrades as they wouldn't hook a tree.

Mine didn't have a side mount when i got it. I am going to attempt to make a swing mount one and save some $$$.

My 73 has a swing down. All the weight is on the rear cross member.
