Default Tire Carriers to work with stock bumper

so heres my situation; I plan on going up to 35's very shortly and I need a tire carrier solution. I dont want to drill holes or modify the body in anyway. I also do not want to have a huge bulky rear bumper/ carrier combo as I want to keep weight to a minimum. I was hoping you guys can give me some advice or show me what you have. Im considering the mopar tire carrier because it mounts to the frame but I am looking for other options.

I've just started looking into this too. I know you can use the AEV carrier with the stock bumper but you do need to modify the bumper. It's also pretty pricey.

I dont like the look of the tubing on the AEV carrier when everything else on the jeep is boxey. Plus the tire doesnt sit centered

has anyone attempted to fabricate something like this to support the weight of the tire instead of having it placed on the tailgate? This one is supporting a 37" tire.

That looks interesting, but what do you do when you need to open the tailgate? I would hate to have to remove it everytime.
