Re: Rear spare tire mount
He is going to have to chop a hole in the bumper so the welder can get
to the underside of the mount to fix it. Just welding it from the top
won't do it although I don't think just rewelding something back the
same that couldn't handle the stress in the first place will work for
----.
I think the design is flawed for that big of a spare. (33x10.5" mud)
Peter 'looked' like he had a solid mount on his. It was an axle spindle
I believe that was meant to be welded in place.

Re: Rear spare tire mount
He is going to have to chop a hole in the bumper so the welder can get
to the underside of the mount to fix it. Just welding it from the top
won't do it although I don't think just rewelding something back the
same that couldn't handle the stress in the first place will work for
----.
I think the design is flawed for that big of a spare. (33x10.5" mud)
Peter 'looked' like he had a solid mount on his. It was an axle spindle
I believe that was meant to be welded in place.

Re: Rear spare tire mount
I am curious where the crack developed. Was it around the spare tire mount,
or door hinge?
It looks to me that I would only be catching a couple of threads with the
stock spare tire mount, with the 31 x 10.5 tire. Is it feasible to put
longer wheel studs in the stock spare tire mount? I only need a 1/4"more
thread.

Re: Rear spare tire mount
I am not sure who you are answering, but yes you can put longer bolts in
to hold it on.
In my CJ7's case the mount is on the fenders and they literally tore
loose from the floor pan.
