90YJ rear door tire mounting

Mar 19, 2005 13 Replies

does anybody know what the "weak" point in the tire mounting is, the tire-bracket-? the tire-bracket mounting to the door-? the door-? the door hinges?



im thinking of beefing it up, running angle iron from the hinges over to the tire-mounting bracket, then building a 2-light-bicycle rack off the 31inch spare,


thanks, johnp

BILL< my son just ran a magnet around it, its all metal inside and out, , so is it tough enough?? , johnp

nope no rust, the whole jeeps pritty much rustfree, none on any of the body, and very,very little on frame, , got lucky when i bought it, it was taken care of, cept for one small crash, then they sold it, to me,

My fenders tore away from the floor from having a heavy spare on there.
