At this point, you'd have better luck getting your own fabricated.

Are you just wanting something that mounts to the outside of the vehicle?

So you'd like something that attaches to the body?

One other thing about the ones that Christine linked to is that the weight of the tire carrier should be subtracted from the tongue weight of the hitch to prevent overloading it. I'd also want to know what kind of swing radius the tire carrier has, will it hit on a tongue jack if you're trying to pull a trailer?

As for my 2 door tire carrier installed on my 4 door, looks stock and functions stock. And as for tire swing and trailer jack impact, I'm good while driving, and limited to space opening while hooked up, but can still open the window.
