Ok boys and girls, soon ill be fabbing a rear tire carrier bumper for the XJ, it will have a 35" cooper stt with a ravine wheel on it. ive seen a few other peoples tire carriers in person and they dont seem to be 100% 'solid'. I really want this mounting system to hold up and not sag and move around under weight with it opening and closing. basically want this thing to be silent and solid.
I have the swivel hinge and mcmaster latch good to go. but for the bumper mounts, what is the best method for this?
I did some searching and came accross this:

and of course Steve F's recent build

Are these basically the Best ways to go about this (mount wise)? without going ridiculously overboard otherwise? Thanks guys id appreciate any guidance before i get down to business. lookin to mimic detours slimline design
