Without an after market tire carrier your only option is the mount that goes through the spare wheel center (can't find the post that has pics, sorry). However, I would not really trust those on the trail as the tire tire holder is not really rated to hold another 40lbs.

I know some people strap it in on the inside, but I personally have major concerns with that, so I don't recommend it.

There are some after market tire holders that just replace the stock one, you might be good with that and the holder, but beware the strain on the door and hinges as well.
