SWING AWAY TIRE CARRIER ON 4DR BLAZER
 

Does anyone know if a swing away spare tire carrier from a two door blazer will fit on a four door? I have searched the aftermarket for one but have had no luck.

all the parts are the same so i dont see why there should be a problem

All of the parts are the same in what regard??? The 4dr was never offered with a swing away spare tire carrier... The tailgate is different on the 4drs, etc....

Thanks for the info... I found an aftermarket swing away tire carrier onparts.comthatI am assuming is for a 2dr sincethey don't specify. I may purchase it and "make" it work.

According to my interchange manual they were available on 4 doors...[sm=interesting.gif]

Not on 2nd gen 4drs. Not in any dealer brochures I ever saw. They can be made to fit, but the latch on the tailgate interferes with the swing arm latch plate. Those that have put a 2dr swing away tire carrier onto a 4dr have had to modify the mounting bracket to clear the latch.

I actually saw one of these at the junkyard this weekend. it was on a 2dr 96 and all the hatch stuff was in the same place as the 4dr. the swing away was bolted on the left rear corner of the fender. so theye are out there!

As I said, I am not saying they could not be added, but they were not factory.

Can we restore a rusty unit or is it easier to purchase new? If replace, where can I procure one?

they arent factory on 4 door but I just today installed one off a 2 door model. I had to access the inner panel but all in all it went on pretty easy but inside the tailgat it will take a bit to get all the bolts secure. I will post a pic as soon as possible. First 4 door 1995 model with one in Fargo i am sure.

this thread is 3 years old ... you just blew the dust off it

Zombieeeesssssss!!!!

They did not come as a options on any year 4 door second gen blazer. Only the first gens had the option for the 4 door. You could get one from a 2 door second gen and fab up a mounting bracket and mount it on your truck as I did. Definitely not stock and not all that hard. Could probably find someone that would do it for around $200.
