Grnjp88's '93 Sahara #28
Re: Grnjp88's '93 Sahara #28
I ran into the same problem when mounting my spare. I just removed the rubber bumpers from the tailgate and the 31" spare fits perfectly.
Eventually I will purchase one of these spare carriers that mount to the body and not the traditional aftermarket style that mount to the bumper:

Yeah, Ive heard that too. Im figuring a 30/31" should be ok. I hear it mostly about the larger 33/35" tires. And the heavier tires like Super Swampers and steel wheels.
I wonder what they used in the movie. Didnt they have larger than stock BFGs on them? I know they had matching spares.

I was writing my reply as you posted.
That looks like what I might go with in the future. I might have to settle on removing the rubber bumpers for now.
Actually, now that I think about it. How about a 1" or 3/4" wheel spacer on the carrier? I might have one from XJ project.

Progress!
The new engine came in and is all assembled and ready for installation tomorrow.
Got a new clutch kit and new exhaust header (old one cracked).The flywheel and (cracked) timing chain cover come back from the machine shop tomorrow.
Some pics of today's progress: (sorry for the cruddy cell phone pics)
New engine, right out of the box:
Old engine pulled (minus intake manifold):
There's a lot of empty space in there:
Stripped down (good view of the carnage):
I'm missing some pushrods..
New clutch:

In less than 24 hours, I should have my Jeep back!

More progress! We're soo close now.
Got everything installed, wired up, and running.
Only thing left to do is bleed the new clutch, and replace a broken vacuum line fitting.
Finally wrestled in it:
So that's what goes in that big empty space:
Getting it all hooked back up:
Tuned, lubed, and ready to breathe her first breath:

Ayup!
I already paid off the engine, so once I cover shop fees, it's back to the JP conversion!
