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.

Re: Rear spare tire mount
As I recall I thought it was in the hinge bearing spindle. Mike probably
knows a lot more about the details. I did not see it after the break so I
don't know exactly where the failure occurred.

Another trend that's sort of evolved, because of the weight, rattling,
expense & failure prone nature of some of these aftermarket bumper/tire
carriers (even those "rated " for up to 38" tires), a lot of folks no longer
carry spare tires. They've installed on board air of some type, keep a plug
kit with them for punctures & rips.
The benefit is big, big reduction in weight on the rear suspension, like
maybe 300 lbs, and a lot less cost. The risk is you'll rip a sidewall so bad
you can't plug it enough to get off the trail. (I've nevers seen this
happen, but....)
I started running 36" IROKS last month, up from 35s. I've decided to toss
the spare, and keep it in the truck or on the trailer. I'll just run a small
rear bumper so I have a strap point.
