Default OrFab Tire carrier

Does anyone else make a tire carrier that is seperate from the bumper like the OrFab? I have a custom rear bumper that I installed when I had the stock wheels and tires, but now need something for my spare 35. I like the OrFab, with the exception of the drilling and cutting into the Jeep to install, as well as the tubular style is not my preference.
Thought I would check out all options prior to springing for a new bumper..

look at hanson.. they have something bolts to the tailgate and makes it strong enough to hold a 35... it wont carry cans or anything like that.. just a square frame that bolts on the tailgate to strengthen it.. look in quadratec.

I can't comment on the Hanson....but forget Bestop....I ordered one and got it in and the powdercoat was just a mess and the holes did not line up. So I sent it back for another....this one came with it already rusting. Sent it back and got the OR Fab.....this thing is nice. Solid and well made. A major PIA to put on by yourself, but once done it is great!

Or-Fab, I got rear ended by a new corola and didn't even get a scratch but their car was totaled, they never even hit my bumper, just my spare and the spare tire, the carrier took no damage at all, its built like a champion
