Mopar Tire Carrier - Underside Brackets?

[skygoneblue]

Hey all, do any of you happen to know if it's possible to order just the three bracket pieces that go under the bed for the Mopar tire carrier install? I contacted BAM directly and asked about this part number, and they said they can't order it because it's only a post-production addon (huh?) Anywhere else I look online has it listed as a screw, nothing to do with this tire carrier kit.

(I am buying a carrier from a guy locally who had it taken off at the dealer, and the dealer didn't give him the brackets back with it. )

Often the descriptions on these oddball parts are screwed (pun intended). It is listed for the carrier and the MSRP is $313, so I highly doubt it’s just a single screw as the title would imply.

If you order at a local dealer you can at least set eyes on it before taking it home. Might be the best option…

I bet the dealer/tech put the brackets and bolts back on the truck or there would be a bunch of holes in his bed. Ask me how I know

Oddly enough, it came with the bolts. My only guess is that the tech just left the brackets stuck under the bed or just failed to hear them clang against the floor somehow.

Now that's wierd.

So I just pulled my carrier out of storage and the nuts are welded to the brackets that go under the truck. My truck originally came with the tire carrier when sold new but when the previous owner traded it in it was missing but the brackets and bolts were installed in the bed still. I bought another carrier that came with brackets and bolts to use later on when I got some custom rims and tires. Long story short OP I may have a set of extra brackets that I can part with, I'll know for sure when I go to install the carrier. It's possible they just put a bolt and nut in the holes and there is no brackets under there, I'll have to look tomorrow.

Ok sounds good!

For anyone with this issue in the future, the "screw kit" part number is exactly the brackets I was looking for - it's just a crappy description on most sites. I ordered them online for $100 less than the dealer wanted.
