    Default Looking for Rear swing spare tire ideas

    My grandad has a 2001 XJ and no internet so he has sent me on the search for him. He is slowly trying to modify/upgrade his jeep and this is the new project. He is on a budget of 500 or less so most of the bumper kits I have seen are out. I found the XJ tailbone made by detoursusa but it appears that they no longer make them. Sad because I think this would have worked great for him. I am reaching out hoping that some of you may have an idea or product for him. He would like something that would mount to the stock bumper. Thanks in advance.

    try giving em a call. 606-209-2115. Let them know there's a demand for it. Your call might be the deciding factor in weather they restock it or not.

    I'd like one too. If my wife ever gives me an advance on my allowance.
    One more part and I'll have a new Jeep

    I found the complete stock setup at my local pullapart for about 75 total. Be careful to pull ALL of the inside-body reinforcement plates and you will need the bumper that goes with it as it has reinforcement plates in it too. All in all, I'm really happy with it.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's fixed, go break it!
