I had a guy make me a bumper with spare carrier. His name is Scott Anderson and he lurks over at CJ-8.com

Here's a pic of one like the one he made me (same bumper, someone else's pics), except he didn't put a receiver hitch on mine; I already had a bolt on ACME hitch so I bolted to the bottom of the bumper.

Stuff is super heavy and prices are right.

Here's the whole thread....

Finally got the bumps installed: Thanks Scott A. - Jeep Scrambler Forums & Discussions

Stuff was a lot heavier/ better built than my buddy's Warn bumpers and cost less than 1/2 of what a Warn bumper/carrier combo costs.

D-ring brackets are welded through on front and back of bumper tube, 1/4" stock used for he bumper tube, receiver hitch option, and the tire carrier is removable (he uses a huge grade 8 bolt as the hinge pin, so if you want to remove the carrier you just pull the nut off and lift it up and off of the bolt/pin).

I had a 32" on my stock CJ7 carrier and it tore the sheet metal where the latch bolts to the body. No way I would put a 32" on a stock YJ carrier. Those extenders put the tire farther from the body so that's going to increase the stress. If you DO decide to go that route, Scott made me an extender for Dad's Scrambler's roll bar spare mount that was equally inexpensive and was good quality stuff.
