Default Help with ID'ing Swing out Tire Carrier

Bought a used 2014 Jeep Wrangler (JK) Oscar Mike Ed. The Jeep already came with a aftermarket bumper with a swing out tire carrier attached. I am looking to find out what brand it is so I can order a replacement part. Or maybe someone can just let me know where I can get the replacement part. I sure a universal part will work. I have attached pic to help identify the tire carrier

One of the wheel studs is broken that mounts the tire on to the carrier with the lug nuts. Didn't know this until I got new tires put on the rims. The part I am looking for is marked in pic1 (white part) Bracket to tire carrier & pic2 (black part) Tire holder to Bracket. The rest of he pics are to help ID the tire carrier

That appears to be a Smittybilt XRC rear bumper/tire carrier.

I'm a little confused if you need a bolt to hold that one piece to the tire carrier swing, or if you need what is holding the tire on with the lug nut. It appears they just have a bolt there welded from the backside. We have 1/2" 20 wheel studs/lug nuts, so if you get a 1/2" 20 bolt that should work just fine. If you can't weld that in place yourself, I'd bet any local would do it for you for a couple bucks. Quick and simple task.

Sorry I didn't mean to be confusing. I want to get the piece that attaches to the tire carrier (white) and the piece that slides into it (black) that the tire bolts on to See pic.

You could call smittybilt up and ask if they will sell you that individual piece. You could also find a fabricator locally and see if they can help you out. that is pretty simple to make....2 pieces of flatstock with holes drilled appropriately and some square tube. That white one looks like something someone fabricated and not the original as you can see here -




If you do call them, that would be a Gen 1 design and not the newest design they have.
