There is about 4 different kinds at the local picknpull. Anyone tried?
Dre said:fiberglass? rear lift gate on the "X" is all metal. Cherokee's is fiberglass. If you want to install the tire carrier on the liftgate think about all the extra weight you're putting on. It'll be pretty tough to keep the gate in the open position. On the BII carrier swings out for the gate to open... if you install it on the "X" you won't be able to swing it... no need to do that.
