Just made a swing out tire carrier for the ol' XJ and used poly bushings. Only thing is is when I open it the weight causes it to sag. Esp when you add a tire to it. Trying to look into some kind of bearing. A buddy of mine is going to get some brass made the exact same size as the poly bushings but dont really know if that will work. It's sitting on 3/4" bolt. Someone on JU said they used a trailer spindle, I might look into that also. Also, how does it look overall? I might turn the tire over tomorrow and see if it will sit closer to the XJ. Kinda looks like its out too far. Dont really know, so what do you think? Jeff

Here's the mount I made
Here's the mount for the other side. Really tight and no movement at all.
