90YJ rear door tire mounting

does anybody know what the "weak" point in the tire mounting is,
the tire-bracket-?
the tire-bracket mounting to the door-?
the door-?
the door hinges?

im thinking of beefing it up, running angle iron from the hinges
over to the tire-mounting bracket,
then building a 2-light-bicycle rack off the 31inch spare,


thanks,
johnp

Hi John,
It's plastic! I'd put a Real Jeep tailgate on it:

And make or buy a spare carrier from Warn:
