i could be wrong but that looks similar to the stuff hardline makes, hardline fabrication services, they are a vendor on mud I believe. Those look more custom than typical production though.
the second one is a looker...
The first one is
VPR 4X4 Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series Rally Bumper from extreme landcruiser

Those are the best looking "tube" bumpers that i've ever seen.

The second is custom made by TLC/ICON

I looked about on the Icon website...nothing in particular pertaining to the 2nd one. Anyone with a link?
You'd most likely need to call 'em, not something that sort of shop is selling off the shelf. My guess is it was a ultra high end build for a customer...looks like an FZJ80 frame swap.

Why do I like nice stuff? It should be an off the shelf, $200 item!!! Damn.
I like the cleats and hoop. Would come in very handy.

Yes, it's stated on their website that the they were designed by the client that owns the truck. And TLC built them.
Now what the client was inspired by is certainly predictable.

Pretty much 100% plagiarism.... HA!
The bumper was originally built by a North Carolina fabricator in 1995 and still has the same styles and looks today. Interesting that he opened within weeks/months of TLC and is still going strong too.

loop for the winch hook it's one of the most useful add on for a real off road bumper ( I mean wen you need to use your winch a lot )
But then again, TLC's bumper designs are always patterned off something previously successful....Kamar, ARB..whatever looks good and their customers will pay for. I'd love to have his success ( profit wise I mean )
