Check this out, tire carrier for a stock bumper
Saw this on NAXJA's Forum. It mounts to your stock bumper, didnt see how much it was but looks pretty cool. I am sure its a lot cheaper than the entire bumper/tire carrier combo.

that is a really sick set up. only thing i dont like is the d rings, it looks like it bolts up to just the bumper so i would never use those as recovery points, but it is good for looks. i like having the tire outside and not in my safari rack gives me alot more room.

for you guys talking about the recovery points detours system mounts to frame then your bumper is modified to fit around the system....they have a front as well that makes my people ask why my buddy is pullin from his front bumper...lol look at the install youll see what i mean about it im sure the rear is same as front system...your pulling from frame the mounts come through bumper...im pretty sure thats what the guy said n the phone when i ordered mine last week... they also make some rock rails that are frame strentheners as well...they can be winched on and pulled for recovery tooo ive seen it done twice at uwharrie last season

this is straight from the page yall looked at from link.....explains how it works and yes you can recover from d rings....
The long awaited TailBone System is finally here and Detours couldn't be happier with the final product. Much like our front BackBone System for your XJ, the TailBone again makes use of your factory rear bumper skin, maintaining factory appearance yet offering stout performance. The TailBone System offers a grease-able swing out tire carrier which locks in place using a 2,000lb lever clamp and two 3/4" thick recovery points which will accept 4.5 ton, 5/8" D-Rings for easy, confident extractions. The TailBone's mounting system is an easy bolt up to body configuration, complete with unibody inserts and total wrap around bracing which even reinforces 4 of your stock bracket mounting locations, we spent a lot of time making this right! After the mounting system is installed, simple cutting and fitting of your stock bumper skin is all thats required and better yet, this system fits on ALL years the XJ was made right up through 2001.

shot i'd use them d-rings all day, they make stout stuff, not just good looking but useful. i think they have one of the best bumper mounting systems on the market.
when i finally get around to doing the body on my xj im going with the backbone and tailbone, less than a grand for both, wooohoooooo

i will most def...it ties in the body where stock mounts are, it wraps arount frame rail though....i know of a guy running one who carries a 35 on it and has been yanked violently from one d ring on it numerous tmes on local trails with us...detours makes great products...if i didnt already have a home built bumper in front i would get the front system...
