He is looking for a tailgate/tire combo where the tailgate is the tire holder assembly.

I was thinking of building one roughly the size of oem out of 1"x2" box tubing. Then mount my tire to it and get a latch of some kind. And use the factory tailgate hinges as well. Seems simple......

What size of tire are you going to put on the factory hinges? They may not agree with the extra weight.

There was a guy on Jeep Forum that did basically what you are talking about. He built new hinges off his corner guards and then used 2 pieces of rectangle tube to span across and mounted his tailgate to cross members. Totally got rid of the factory hinges. He was happy with it.

Right now its just a 33, I think the hinges will handle it. Its the tailgate itself that objects to the extra weight and keeps flexing. I think I saw that forum, was it with the fold down tailgate conversion?
