I cheated!

It's basically it. I found someone locally that was selling the first gen version of Tomken's tire carrier already attached to a 2x4 bumper fitted to an XJ.
A grinder, a buddy with a plasma cutter and welder, and some cutting from the body and bumper later and that's the result.
Only downside so far: the bracket that holds the tire is bent. I don't know if the previous owner got rear ended or bounced it off something, but the tire sits crooked right now. I'm going back to my buddys shop on Thursday to straighten it out.
Next step is to see if it's more cost effective to make this vs. buying it:
