Your tire mount is from a CJ from the '80s. It mounts on the right side. Like this:

Below and to the right of the tail light is a metal bracket that just keeps the tire from breaking the light.


Here's the left side:

The latch goes on the left side.

My tail lights have been relocated when the diamond plate was put on.Now I cant mount this carrier without welding up some kind of bracket extensions.
Any ideas:(

Your tail lights have been relocated. The tire mount is from a CJ from the '80s. This is far from stock. I think you need to move those lights again if you want to mount this tire rack. Even then you have a different tailgate than what the tire mount was intended for. Maybe the chain for the tailgate will get in the way. It may almost be better to get a bumper with a built in tire mount. I know that would cost more than this mount you already bought.
 
My lights are mounted right below the top of the rear end.Yours are a good 2in down.

Thinking about welding some channel to the bumper to mount the hinge pieces to and fad a latch on the other side.
Any other ideas
