Just purchased a 2004 Xterra and looking for a way to mount the spare tire on the rear bumper with out spending a lot of money. Does anyone no of a "Bolt on" application that does not require replacing the whole bumper.

Curt makes one that goes in a trailer hitch, I'm not sure if it would be what you are looking for. Take a look here

well in honesty, you dont get much better or easier "bolt-on" as a center portion of the bumper replacement and sometimes, the aforementioned add-ons don't always work out long term or extended use.

Doesnt have to be mainstream parts per se because like everyone has a budget but what i want to point out is the particular specs that come with said brand like Schrockworks or HEPS even.

What you're getting for your money is key. In all my years of experience I'd rather spend a lil more to get what i really want than to spend half as much and have regrets or buyers remorse and or issues. You'll find I'm sure a mixture of thoughts i'm sure but I use the method of quality and service over price and from electronics to women I haven't made a bad investment decision but once... And that's why she's gone and we're happily divorced...

And luck is always preparation meeting opportunity: Cant ask for much more when you can grab things second hand. Hows your negotiating skills?

Might I'd suggest jumping on an opportunity presented.
