Used OEM spare tire carrier for Montero Sport wanted

[PirateMcGee]

Looking for a spare tire carrier to swap on to my 01 Sport. They came on some 97/98 sports and mount to the rear 1/4 and bumper. If anyone comes across one in a junkyard please let me know. There are a number of pieces that I likely need to complete the swap. Can't seem to find one locally.

I can usually find parts but you may not like shipping costs.

Ya Utah is quite a ways away from TN.

However if you happen to be at a yard that has one let me know/take as many pictures as you feel up to. You know what I'm trying to achieve and have enough knowledge to see what needs swapped/modified. It's hard for me to guess without seeing one in person and the only swap I can find on the MS board (which is dead) is a bit of a hack job for my tastes.

I can probably find the main carrier portion, it's all the other bits and pieces that I'm concerned about.

have you considered a rear bumper with a swing out carrier? Might be cheaper and offer more protection.

If you guys do a search you'll see I posted about a year ago about one of these I found in a local yard, Utah. Posted pics too. Long shot, but maybe it's still there. Never seems to be huge turnover at that yard.

It was at pick n pull at 33rd south and I 15.

Overkill for me plus I like to keep my vehicles as light as possible.

Thank you! I can actually see how it functions a bit with that picture. Randomly the reflectors in the bumper are actually running lights on Sports with the swing outs. Wish I could find a wrecked one on craigslist locally.
