So I have a 2023 with XR package, I’m trying to find a way to mount a cargo carrier above the rear tire and not having any luck with where or how to attach it! Went on vacation and used it in the hitch but of course once it’s on you cannot open the rear tailgate etc on the Jeep. I’ve seen some builds/ modifications done to some on YouTube but none of the ones I’ve seen are for the Heavy duty gate/ tire carrier and looking at mine it doesn’t look like there is anywhere to really mount one. Would definitely like to be able to mount here so the cargo carrier swings with the gate to still have all access to the back while on! Any ideas? Anyone else with XR have the same issues/ solutions etc.? I did see the one that straps to the top of the spare tire but not to fond of this attachment!

You should consider a bumper tire carrier, to put the weight on the frame instead of the tail gate hinges. Then you can mount all kinds of accessories. If you don't, you will probably see tail gate sag really soon.

I'm using the lod tire carrier. I have the cargo attachment, as well as fuel can attachment. Works great.
