i see what you're talking about...but they must have changed it later, bc i just found a pic of what you're talking about and its on the older ones with the 2.8 v6 which was made from 84-86..
the one i have must be one they redesigned...
heres the type you must be talking about...im sure mine is just a newer redesigned version of what your talking about in the pic ...still the same idea, they moved all the logos and plates into a space where people can see them, just like on mine...

also, look where the plate under the rear window is above where the plates usually go...usually there is the name "jeep" right there but its not there bc it was put on at the factory, and they knew it wouldnt be seen so they took it off...same reason they moved the 4.0 badge and the lisence plate

I beleve that only a few 1990's and 1991's had the tire carrier from the factory. I am in GA looking for on myself. Really I just dont want to give warn $500 for something that was once factory!

To everyone saying it's not factory - yes it is. They are rare, but there were 2 styles of rear tire carriers that could be gotten on the XJ from 84-90 or 91. The lift gate still had the indentation for the license plate as AMC/Chrysler did not want to spend more money on an extra mold since the external tire carrier was an optional item. Big thing when installing one of these on an XJ that did not come with it is to be sure that the bumper mounts are reinforced (for the bumper only mounted style - 2nd design) and the passenger quarter panel is reinforced (1st style that mounted below the passenger rear window as well) to support the weight. Another thing to consider is that these carriers are designed to only carry a 31" tire.
