Spare tire carrier missing mounting hole

Post by Sean Bathrick » Mon Dec 07, 2020 3:59 pm

I was in the process of unbolting the fuel can carrier and spare tire mount so I could take care of some bodywork on the rear of the jeep and found something kind of weird that I had never noticed. The carrier is missing a mounting hole on the right side, upper of the 2 holes. And even more is the tub isn't drilled for a hole either. I sanded down the area thinking maybe it had been welded or bondo'd over, and nope. No signs of anything. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? (Sorry about the picture rotation)
