Will any other vehicles spare tire hardcover work on a Liberty?

[GitEmSteveDave]

Just wondering if I could maybe find another vehicles spare tire hardcover from maybe a pick and pull and use it with my 03' Libby. I got a bunch of vinyl stickers I'd like to display, and figure a hard cover would be best for them to stick to.

No doubt, you just gotta match the tire dimensions because obviously a factory RAV 4 spare cover is not going to fit over 31's

Personally I like the soft covers with the zipper as it is quick to remove & replace.
Now back to talking the Jeep hard plastic ones...As far as I know they were "Cherokee" or European editions issue only.
What does the aftermarket may have ??

I was kind of looking for a neutral one, like either w/no markings, or marking/badges that I could possible heatgun off. Just something I could stick decals/stickers on, and not have to worry about the wiper blades or bothering them by cleaning the glass.

Very easy to find ones like that, many vans ran them for years , plate covers the tire with a metal ring that covers the tread, some where painted, some chrome, but can be painted
Maybe you have to be a bit older to remember or know what I'm talking about LOL

If you are willing to spend $190* you can order one already factory color matched, made by Boomerang.
*You also though have to match your covers to your actual tire size.

Vinyl stickers definitely wont hold to any soft tire covers.

I'd grab a Cherokee export market cover myself, if one was available that was not insane to ship over.. Were they on Canada models too, or just everywhere but NA?

Shipping from Uk would be a wow$ No Jeep hard covers to be found in Canada/North America unfortunately.
Just for curiosity, I called a dealer to see if by chance the hard covers could be purchased, the answer..NO.
The OE Jeep soft covers are available in the 16"-17 stock sizes, if you have 245's+ ..aftermarket time.

Is that the one that has the space for the license plate in it?

Yeah, I tired looking at them from UK ebay, and they were way outta my price range.

I had someone in my scout troop who had one of those vans. With all the seats replace with the captain type seats. Everyone always tried to get in that van when we had to go somewhere camping b/c it was the most comfy. That's what I was thinking about, and was just wondering if any current vehicles had something similar I could maybe grab at a junkyard.

I know of a guy in Ohio here that has a brand new one still in the box ( and for sale)

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. I ran a large (business) sticker on my vinyl tire cover for several years. It'll depend on the type of cover, how it's prepped, and the type of sticker/glue used.

why the hell did we get saddled with the crappy offset bumper in the states? that solid rear bumper would be perfect for mods/addons.

I was reading up, and apparently I would need to drill into the body and also replace all the spare lugs to make it work. I was just thinking it was bolt on. Thanksanyway.

My decals are somewhat detailed, so that's why I was thinking of something harder and less likely to move and expose an edge.
