Spare Tire carrier kit?
Hey guys. Anyone know if anyone sells a weld-it-yourself spare tire carrier kit for my '98 XJ with aftermarket rockcrawler bumpers? I need a kit of some kind that can be welded together, and then welded to the bumper. Every option I've seen so far (like modifying a carrier specifically made for certain brands of aftermarket bumpers) are stupid expensive (like 400 bucks and up). I'm looking for a kit that will relocate my 33" spare for around 200 bucks. Anyone know a good option?
Here is my rear bumper setup.
Thanks!

Anyone else have a source or any other good ideas? This idea isn't bad though.

Maybe I'll just go for a roof rack basket, and stick the spare tire up there. The spare tire on the bumper will block my rear spot lights, and I sure do love those things! Especially when some idiot starts tailgating me at night and flashing their high beams. And I would also have to relocate my license plate and light.
Any other suggestions for affordable spare tire carriers or DIY kits?

I bought what looks like the same lights I'm going to flush mount them in the bumper, as far as the license plate I've gotten a few ideas online. Good luck which ever way you go!
