Yeah that sounds kind of weird, I know.
I started building a rear tire carrier bumper and never really finished it. I was making it at work and left that job for another one. Its a triangulated design similar to the Nates 4x4 bumper

Its got a hinge on it similar in design to this one.

The outer half is welded onto the end, so you'd have to design something where it would slide onto a pin and rest on some bearings. Its 2x2x3/16" steel so i'd say it weights upwards of 75lbs. The plate where the tire rests is diamond plate which is kind of gaudy, but you'd hardly see if. If there is any interest I will dig it out and take some pictures. Its got surface rust but I'm sure you'd prep and paint it. It is only the top half, you'd have to build or adapt it to an after market bumper. Not really sure on a price or if there will be any interest.
