    New to the forum. I have searched thru many threads and pretty sure I found the tire carrier I am missing. I believe mine was a Whitco. I have attached a picture of my jeep, mounting brackets are still there. Can someone confirm and does someone on here have one? cropped.jpg

    Your mounts/hinges look identical to what I have. Not sure of the brand, but here’s a pic of my carrier. Not currently mounted to the Jeep:

    Thanks for the reply boopiejones. I will probably have to build one. The pic will help!

    I seem to recall someone building one awhile back, maybe there's plans or a build thread on here somewhere....

    Yes that’s what I have. And I believe that’s what the OP has as well. I found some images of the whitco carrier, and the hinge side is quite different… one large piece encompasses both the top and bottom hinge vs two separate pieces.
