A coupla years back I purchased an OEM tire carrier (the second style, w/o the quarter mount), and just now got around to mounting it, now that I have 5 full size tires. I believe I mounted all of the pieces I recieved from the seller, but it seems obvious I'm missing something. Of course, since it's been sitting around the garage for 2 years, I might have had it at one point
Anyhow, I've searched around here and found some reference to a reinforcement that ties the end of the bumper into more of the unibody, but I need a visual. If anyone can describe or post up a pic of that piece, that'd be awesome. I'm pretty sure I can rig something up to make it not sag when I open it, but I'd rather copy Chrysler's engineers than jerry-rig it. Is the OEM peice adequate to begin with, or should I just go another route?
