Looking for an OEM spare tire mount for 99 Tahoe Basic 2dr 4x4. Previous owner removed the mount assembly and tire for more boombox space. I have tire chained to body for safety, but it takes up already limited flat space. We've searched for this bracket w/o success. There seems to be more than one configuration; we've not found the correct one. I've been on another Tahoe forum for a couple years, but there's very few members and fewer posts. Maybe someone here has one or knows of one. I don't need the cosmetic tire cover. I really appreciate this forum. I've already learned a lot about our Tahoe w/o asking, just reading relevant threads.

I’d second car-part as it usually has photos of the salvage vehicles.

The carrier was specific to the two-door but looks to have been the same part used for the K Blazer. Suburban was different - the tire sat in a little tray.

The parts diagrams are here:


It doesn’t call out anything specific to trim package. Mine (Sport) just has the bar bolted directly through the side trim panel, so GM didn’t go through a whole lot of trouble making it attractive. Here are the Blazer/Tahoe part numbers in case it helps with the search:

For comparison, this is the Suburban’s version:

Thank you for the references and parts list. I was a bit hasty with this post. I'd forgotten my wife searched for the mount 2yrs ago. She called about 20 shops listed @ Car-Parts over 2wks b4 she gave up. Many shops were helpful and sent images, but most didn't seem to know there's a difference between 2&4dr units. She did find one in Florida that looked correct but with shipping it was near $200 and still might be incomplete or not fit. I chained the spare to the body at the rear tire mount. Not elegant, but it prevents the spare from becoming an asteroid in a rollover. Although it takes up limited floor space, it improves CG slightly and leave the window clear. We keep tools and jumper cables in the tire hollow.DSC_9120.JPG
