Never seen one but they look impractical for a Jimny - you already have a spare on the door, you wouldn't be able to open your back door without unlatching the carrier first, it might be illegal to carry petrol on your rear bumper and a lot of Jimnys don't have a 50mm hitch receiver.

The closest I've seen is the Jimny rear bumper carried by Genuine 4X4.

Sadly, I don't think there is much else available. At least not for newer models. Don't think ORA does any Jimny bumpers anymore. No ARB for newer models.

Would honestly love to see more choices.

The last thing a Jimny needs is a heap of steel bolted on the back holding a heavy swing away to carry an equally heavy tyre you don't need anyway.

40kg of bar and tyre. Gvm 1420, tare 1060. 360 kg to play with. Rear bar and tire is 11.1% of the total mass you 'should' bolt to and attach to the car.
