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.

 

Search for RCars2

 

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....

 

My bad, thinking slower than typing ishould have said " on my 91"

 

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.
