Would the rear quarter panel/body panel be strong enough to support one of those swing out tire carriers, similar to one found on a 2000 Chevy blazer? I believe they have 2 bolted down brackets that attached to the body. I know I would have to rig something up for the right bolt pattern so my wheel would fit on. I would have a 31 10.5 15 on it by the way.

2001 Cherokee Starter
The starter on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee isn't working. Where is it so I can try and get at it to at least start it and get it to my local shop? Or if it's not too difficult replace it myself? What would be a good temporary quick fix?

BEFORE ANY OF THAT, ttlry sliding your shift lever into neutral and starting it. Over time, many shift levers just need adjustment. Your neutral safety switch won't allow your engine to start, you're not completely out of gear.

..unless things have been replaced. Then, I guess you'd have to investigate further.
